CNN: Why Trump's talk of a rigged vote is so dangerous
CNN ^ | October 18, 2016 | Stephen Collinson

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.

Personally I hope if Hillary does win, not one single Republican treats her presidency as legitimate and uses ever tool at their disposal to shut her entire agenda down cold ...

Where have you been the past decade or so?!

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.

Maybe, but it will be for naught if he loses. The DEMs don't care what the people think as long as they hold power and there isn't a civil war where the people are shooting at them.

I think encouraging riots, spray painting of vehicles at rallies and firebombing Republican campaign headquarters could be considered dangerous.

CNN: Because She Who Must Be Obeyed ordered us to use the word "dangerous" whenever we talk about Donald Trump. That's basically the entire reason.

Since the MSM has gone outside the bounds of independent journalism they have wholeheartedly put themselves into the Clinton Campaign. Thus they lose their independent journalist status, they are making huge in-kind contributions of millions of dollars, their employees are now volunteers and they can no longer deduct their wages as business expenses. There are laws in place.

It is rigged. Dead people, illegals, and multiple registrants are dirtying the vote. Judges are turning a blind eye. In the meantime the media, the establishment, the globalist chamber of commerce, and republican members of the uniparty have launched an avalanch of falsehood and deceit against Trump while refusing to cover the corruption of Clinton. I’d call that rigged. At a minimum.

Does CNN want assert that government and media corruption have not already damaged the US political system by systematic rape, pillage and plunder of the Republic. Distrust of the current electoral process is only prudent, not dangerous.

I read a link on Drudge yesterday that claimed 40% of the American people think the election could be rigged. So it’s not just Trump claiming this. The American people are smart enough to see the corruption, graft and crime at the highest levels of this government. They don’t need Donald Trump to convince them that this election could be stolen by the democRATS because the RATS are so good at getting away with their crimes.

This election has been rigged as has every previous election.that’s why the democrat party are against voter I.D. Cards.easier to get dead people and Non-citizens to vote.

Thereby canceling out the vote of American Citizens.

Being an American means nothing in the eyes of a typical democrat politician.

Your lower than an illegal on the political food chain.

Anyone who grew up in any major city knows that the Democrats have been doing this stuff for at least 150 years. Their denials are truly laughable.

I pray Trump wins, and then goes after DNC-media collusion and fraud, Clinton Foundation fraud, vote fraud and George Soros’ groups’ fraud.

Voter fraud, which is already happening, will be massive in this election.

Trump needs to win by a landslide to overcome the fraud. I figure fraud will reduce his win over Killary by 3-6 percentage points. Trump must win by an honest 56% (at least) to overcome the fraud.

I'm sure Mr. Trump has folks working on this problem. Best wishes and prayers to them, they are working under severe restrictions.
