(from ZeroHedge not NBC) Trump: "I am afraid this election is going to be rigged"

This is a totally different article than the FR posted NBC article. Both articles refer to the Trump quote, but this one, I believe, is far more significant.

Following Trump confidant Roger Stone's allegation that Hillary Clinton might "steal this election" using the Supreme Court, and the Reuters' poll "tweaks" which sent her to a 7-point lead, Donald Trump is raising the alarm that he "is afraid the election is going to be rigged."

Just last week, before the Reuters polls were 'tweaked', Stone told Milo Yiannopoulous of Breitbart that if there is an "illegitimate" election, then there will be "widespread civil disobedience" and "it will be a bloodbath."

"I think your audience knows, I think we all know, that in this day and age, a computer can do anything. These voter machines are essentially a computer. Who is to say they could not be rigged?"

“I think we have widespread voter fraud, but the first thing that Trump needs to do is begin talking about it constantly," Stone said.

"He needs to say for example, today would be a perfect example: "I am leading in Florida. The polls all show it. If I lose Florida, we will know that there’s voter fraud. If there's voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government."

“So, I mean the dream here, the ultimate ideal is that he wins by such a significant margin nationally that this is unnecessary,” Yiannopoulos concluded. “But it’s interesting to hear you say this, and it’s funny also, because Trump will go there. He will go to the places other politicians wont, and he’s probably the only person to run for president within the last fifty years who would dare to do this, and might even get away with it. It’s remarkable isn’t it how he’s just sort of re-injected reality into politics”. And now Donald Trump, speaking today in Columbus, Ohio, raised the concern of a rigged election directly... "Bernie shouldn't have made a deal but he lost [because] it's rigged... and I am afraid the [national] election is going to be rigged."

"I think my side was rigged. If I didn't win by massive landslides, think about what we won in New York, Indiana, California, 78 percent, that's with other people in the race." Trump made similar complaints about a “rigged” process during the Republican primaries. As Roger Stone concluded,

"If you can’t have an honest election, nothing else counts," Warning that...

"I think he’s gotta put them on notice that their inauguration will be rhetorical, and when I mean civil disobedience, not violence, but it will be a bloodbath. The government will be shut down if they attempt to steal this and swear Hillary in. No, we will not stand for it. We will not stand for it." Just in case you thought things could not get any more obvious among the riggers, does this look 'normal'?

July 25: Trump was at 48%, Clinton at 45% in CNN/ORC poll.

Today: Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump 52% to 43% in CNN/ORC poll. Perhaps the biggest swing in a week in US election history?

Yep after Hillary has openly stole the election from Sanders this is an obvious no brainier.

You look at the rallies during the DNC Primary. Sanders had large crowds while Hillary had 100 if she was lucky.

I saw about 10 Sanders bumper stickers for every 1 Hillary bumper sticker. Yet they say Hilary won even though she lost to Sanders in overall vote count in 9 to 11 States. Oh yeah I forgot the Super Delegates Trump the voters.

Remember rats like George Will tried to say “they are the sovereigns”, and a near plurality of voters does not decide who wins. What a snot nose do nothing pseudo jack@ss! This was after there was NO VOTE in Colorado and Utah. Cruz would come out and say he won the States when there was no vote by the people...... Anyway, it did not work in the Republican party. Even though they tried. The Sanders supporters on the other hand let Hillary run them over.

So to say Hillary and the Globalist will not try to steal the election from the Will of the people is obvious. I’m glad Trump is talking about it.

Excellent, EXCELLENT ideas to forestall yet another stolen election. Trump must be made aware of these possibilities. These ideas you’ve put forth should be put into place with great fanfare before the election occurs. Once the thieving Dumbs realize we will be watching and waiting for it, they may think twice about any attempt to fraudulently win this election.

Hugh Hewitt’s, “If It Isn’t Close, They Can’t Cheat” comes to mind.

He needs to stop this crap and go back to hammering the economy, foreign policy and the corruption of the Clinton foundation. Those three issues plus immigration and let the surrogates take on the crap topics designed to distract.

Hey bub from Canada, perhaps you are on wrong site if you feel the need to tear down Trump with majority of your posts...

As you should know, it is not needed or wanted.

Not tearing him up. Just calling it as I see it. Last time I checked it wasn’t called Trump’s republic.

Seriously? Not tearing him down? Just calling it as you see it? Well you see it pretty negatively....

Your most recent comments since June, long after folks here were asked by owner to get behind the hominee:

“Only with republicans. This time however, Trump has to go the left caused he burned all his bridges on the right. More and more people will not vote for a nominee because they have an R after their name. I wonder if Conservatives despise more, the RNC or Trump.”

“It was rigged the minute Trump got 5 times more coverage than the next leading candidate. They buttered him up in the primaries only to tear him apart in the general. This is a redux of Mccain all over again. If you thought otherwise LOL than you haven’t figured anything out.”

“He just might. Or when Trump gets his ass handed to him will go back to the democratic party. We all revert to the mean buddy!”

“He should spend the same energy going after 60% of Conservative voters that will stay home and no he is not lying. just holding two opposing viewpoints at the same time. Reminds me of Liberals wouldn’t you say? “

Comment: I am sooooooo disappointed in Cruz. He could have said, “I pledged to endorse the candidate, DT, so I am doing that today. Vote your conscience.” That would have been a class act.But no, he had to be a jerk.
Your reply: “Man has integrity.”


“Last time I checked it wasn’t called Trump’s republic.”

Really? Maybe you need to get up to speed, because it sort of is Trump Republic....From the owner:

Congratulations to our presumptive nominee, Donald Trump!

Congratulations to our presumptive nominee, Donald Trump!

Great job in New York and throughout this campaign. Cruz and Kasich are now mathematically eliminated and just like all the others who were mathematically eliminated should concede and drop out so we can all unite behind our nominee and prepare to defeat the godless America-hating traitor Hillary Clinton in November.

As conservatives and patriots, it’s time to put bruised egos behind us, heal our differences and act united in the best interests of our nation. The media and the GOPe will try to keep us divided, of course, but we must not fall for their treasonous tricks.

A divided Republican party will ensure Hillary waltzes into the White House in November.

Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. Hillary would be a third term for Obama and would complete his mission of completely destroying America.

Do not let freedom expire on our watch!!

I’m praying this forum and our loyal members will now be shifting into high gear to defend our freedom by uniting against the treasonous enemy within.

Let’s get Trump over the 1237 mark and finally take the GOPe completely out of the picture!!

Then onward to the presidency in November!!

xxxxxxxxx

President Hillary is totally unacceptable!

Free Republic stands for God, family, country! America!

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United State of America.”

Securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity is our mission on FR.

We cannot secure the blessings of liberty with Hillary in the White House.

When Trump wins the lion’s share of the primary votes, states and delegates and the establishment installs someone else as the candidate, you’ve handed the election to Hillary.

Trump is the only anti-establishment candidate in the race and has won the lion’s share of votes, states and delegates and is on track to continue amassing the lion’s share of the votes, states and delegates by direct vote of the people.

We the People have voted and are voting to finally wrest control of our government from the entrenched corrupt establishment, aka, the uni-Party.

Cruz, Kasich, et al are mathematically eliminated and cannot win the nomination per the voters. They can attempt to re-wrest the nomination away from Trump and away from We the People only by corrupt establishment treachery at the convention. And that will split and destroy the party and guarantee a Hillary win.

NeverTrump is a losing proposition and will lead to a loss of liberty and loss of country.

This is totally unacceptable.

After the corrupt establishment losing twice in a row to Marxist Obama, I’m damned tired of the corrupt establishment and damned tired of losing.

If you are a NeverTrump type person, you are working against our purposes on FR, so please opus out now and log off and let us carry on with our mission in peace.

Continue insulting us with 24/7 anti-Trump diatribes and insults, your opus will be assumed.

We will unite behind our nominee and we will win this coming election (with or without you) and we will get a handle on this divided forum very soon.

Hope you understand my position.

By the way, Cruz’s campaign still refuses to answer the question whether or not Cruz will support Trump if he’s the nominee. He’s taking the GOPe route of preferring Hillary over Trump. This is also totally unacceptable.

Comment: “I will never vote for this loon nor support anyone that gets contaminated by him.”
YOur reply: “and yet you expect Cruz supporters to vote for Trump because?...”

Candidate Ted Cruz and candidate John Kasich have officially “suspended” their campaign efforts to win the republican nomination. However, the campaign effort to deliver a resounding win for Donald Trump continues.

Yes, a major hurdle has been crossed – Donald Trump is now the last remaining candidate running for the nomination; but that doesn’t mean the push through the last remaining states should be any less important. Every vote counts. Every delegate matters.

Anyone who is inclined toward complacency needs only to look at the reaction yesterday by House Speaker Paul ‘Omnibus‘ Ryan and note why it is vital for the electorate to remain as committed as ever to isolate all vestiges of the UniParty:

There are plenty more posts of your pro-Cruz anti-Trump commentary and threads started by website founder/owner stating Free Republic is solidly behind Trump, so my original comment stands.

“Hey bub from Canada, perhaps you are on wrong site if you feel the need to tear down Trump with majority of your posts...

As you should know, it is not needed or wanted.”

Please stop running our candidate down.
