Donald Trump Intensifies His Claim That Campaign Is ‘Rigged’ (New York Slimes Alert!)

WASHINGTON — Donald J. Trump on Sunday intensified his claims that the presidential campaign is “rigged” against him, sowing doubts about the integrity of the country’s democratic process even as his own running mate and other Republican leaders sought to assure voters they viewed the election as legitimate.

“The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary — but also at many polling places — SAD,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

Mr. Trump’s made his incendiary claim just hours after his running mate, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, had tried to play down the Republican nominee’s increasingly heated questions about the fairness of the election. Mr. Pence said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he and Mr. Trump “will absolutely accept the result of the election.”

He has said he would put Hillary in jail for her corruption.

He should also say that high-level and low-level people who engage in voter fraud at the polls will also go to jail. Intimidate them and shut them down before the election.

I think/thought that Trump was referring to the media coverage, not the voting. In any event, Trump had better be clear and have evidence to back up his claims.

The drug test thing was a stupid sidetrack. Trump’s gotta do better than that.

As far as a bed in Hillary’s van, you know Trump has a king size bed in his plane.

I’ve been away. Am catching up on my blabbing.

No, he did not. That was the Clinton/media spin. Which has worked, I see.

Actually, it put Hillary's health back in the spotlight, which was rather brilliant.

If the current media insanity isn't enough evidence, read the WikiLeaks emails.

Sheesh.

Pence still has one foot in RINO-ville, I see. He may be useful in the event of a Trump victory, but some of his comments aren’t helping much now.

This week’s polls’ internals...

WaPo D+8
Fox D+9
NBC D+12
Reuters D+15
NBC/WSJ Poll D+18.9

In 2008, the overall final vote totals were
Obama 69,498,516 52.93%
McCain 59,948,323 45.65%
other 1,866,981 1.42%

Source: http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/fe2008/tables2008.pdf

So, this means that all the MSM is claiming that Hillary is running for an even bigger landslide than Obama over McCain.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Reagan beat Mondale 54,455,075 to 37,577,185 (59% to 41% or +18 according to https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/scores.html)

So that means NBC is assuming Clinton is over bush by MORE than Reagan’s 49-state landslide.

According to Reuters and NBC, over twice as big.

Even Monica Lewinsky wouldn’t swallow that.

Usually these claims come out just before the big story with the evidence proving that TRUMP IS RIGHT again appears.

Do you ever think before writing a bunch of drivel? Or just trying to sound important?

“cymbeline the Eeyore is back”

According to the dictionary, Eeyore = the gloomy donkey of the Winnie the Pooh book series, by extension a pessimistic or depressed person.

Donkey, yes. Pessimistic or depressed, no.

I fear Pensive is an Establishment Trojan Horse like Bush was to Reagan: there to undo all that Trump does.
