CNN: Why Trump's talk of a rigged vote is so dangerous

Donald Trump is playing with fire.

The Republican presidential nominee's claim that the election is being rigged against him represents the most outlandish moment yet in a campaign devoted to dismantling political norms.

[Snip]

Should he lose, it threatens the legitimacy of those left to govern after the most anarchic election in modern history.

[Snip]

His accusations alone, experts say, could inflict long-standing damage on the US political system itself by eroding trust in the probity of the electoral process.

Chicken Noodle News is full of it!

The MSM has already rigged the election with their biased reporting including dreaming up Trump scandals and not reporting on Hillary's corruption and health ... there is already evidence of fraud through voting by illegals, multiple voting, proxy voting, voting by dead people, and voter intimidation ... it has been demonstrated how easy voting machines can be hacked.

Virtually all of the blame for erosion of trust in the system belongs solely with the corrupt Democrat machine and their mainstream media allies!

[VanDeKoik]

I wonder if it’s “illegal” to talk about it too.

[VRW Conspirator]

His accusations alone Vote rigging alone, experts say, could inflict long-standing damage on the US political system itself by eroding trust in the probity of the electoral process.

There. Fixed.

Guiliani: “Dead People Generally Vote for Democrats”

Voter fraud could change the outcome of a close election. Does the evidence back up former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s contention that “dead voters” have a partisan preference?

CNN: Why Trump's talk of a rigged vote is so dangerous

Headlines should read:

"Why talk of electing a Nazi Super Witch is so dangerous."

[TTFlyer]

All together now:

“CNN SUCKS!!”

[euram]

If CNN is so concerned about damaging people’s trust in the electoral system, maybe they should stop campaigning for one candidate, and stop trying to destroy the other candidate. All people aren’t stupid, they can see what CNN, and the others are doing. Unfortunately, a lot of people are stupid and fall for this BS election after election.

[corkoman]

And that's why every credible example of ballot stuffing should be followed by an avalanche of law enforcement investigation, apprehension of the perps, swift adjudication and punishment.

Without the above, yes you have the possibility of a fussy, impatient public. Not what we want.

[MNDude]

Often when Trump says something that seems out of left field, something shows up shortly after that proves he knew what he was talking about.

[Jack Hammer]

It’s not the talk that’s dangerous.

It’s hillary’s willingness to subvert the will of the electorate by getting her people to stuff the ballot boxes and cheat, cheat, cheat.

“Of the people, by the people, for the people” is in danger of becoming, “Of the pols, by the pols, for the pols.”

[headstamp 2]

The proven to be utterly corrupt Democrat/Media industrial complex is what’s dangerous.

They have shown themselves to be the enemy of a free and fair election process by taking sides.

[RonnG]

Voter fraud itself is what’s dangerous, not talking about it

[realcleanguy]

I think most Americans know our elections are rigged. I am surprised the people haven’t risen up and overthrown the federal government as of yet. The world knows our elections are rigged. We have the worst results and record on elections. We have some of the worst participation, because millions have given up on the election process because they know it’s all BS.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

The truth has always been dangerous. Lies are safe...truth can destroy. That’s why Hillary always lies.

[SoFloFreeper]

Remember 2000, when CNN carried the Democrat water, that the Florida election was rigged by Jeb and Katharine Harris?

I do.

Shove it, CNN.

[OttawaFreeper]

If he accomplishes nothing else in this campaign, Donald has basically exposed the media/Dem/RINO/DC people for who they really are big time.

[silverleaf]

Not to mention how DANGEROUS it is for Trump to accuse Russia of hacking the election as an act of war and threaten retaliation!!!

Oh.....

Wait....

[Vaquero]

Dangerous talk like in Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany or Obama’s Amerika.

[wastoute]

Sort of like the guy who chooses to live in the outhouse complaining of the smell.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I am surprised the people haven’t risen up and overthrown the federal government as of yet.”

The people have pensions to collect, beer to drink, kids to drive to soccer practice and TV shows to watch. No time for revolution.
