Rubio, Toomey Dispute Trump 'Rigged' Election Claims in Debates
nbcnews ^

Posted on 10/18/2016 1:10:43 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Pat Toomey became the latest Republicans to speak out against Donald Trump's warnings of a rigged election Monday night.

In separate high-stakes debates, the two incumbent U.S. senators each refuted Trump's claim that the results of the 2016 election could be tainted, and both men called for confidence in next month's vote.

"Our elections may not always be completely perfect, but they are legitimate, they have integrity and everyone needs to respect the outcome," Toomey said during his debate with challenger Katie McGinty when asked about the Republican presidential nominee's allegations, which he's been repeating on the stump all week.

Toomey said that the success of the American "republic" depends on citizens' "confidence in the outcome of the elections" and said voters should respect the outcome, "because that's going to be necessary to pull us all together on Nov. 9."

Republicans have put up with rigged elections since 1960.

I think 2000 was rigged but it didn't go as the Democrats planned when the SC ruled against them.

Same here.

The GOP will shrink to irrelevance.

They have shown themselves nothing but traitors.

Rubio just wants a chance to strike back at Trump.

Two Rhino GOPe’s who are oblivious to reality. They do not have the spine to actually say what a majority of the Repub base honestly believes because it might make the MSM not like them. Perhaps these two idiots can explain the examples of paying homeless to vote; why in runoffs, all the sudden votes are miracleously found, and just enough to let the Dem win; the examples of voter fraud (most by Dems) and other things. Their attitude is why Trump is the nominee, at least he fights. Unless these idiot Repubs identify and accept the threat, they will never win.

I have to call Rubio’s Office tomorrow and tell them I won’t be voting for him and why I am not voting foe him. In fact, when I vote. I will vote for Donald fix the other names where no one can vote for the others. Then turn it in.

Toomey is a lost cause for conservatives. ANOTHER “They have to vote for him, who else would they vote for?”

I would never would or never will vote for Marco Rubio in any election. He has always been an obvious member of the machine.

This is why Marco became “little Marco” and why only Trump emerged out of the pack. . .Republicans don’t accept the fundamental proposition that we are in the midst of a war and the nation hangs in the balance. This is not business as usually, and we need to fight, fight, fight, with EVERYTHING and ANYTHING we can muster. . .These asshats better understand, if we lose, all future elections will be superfluous. If we lose, America dies.

I really don’t want to vote for Toomey. I guess I’ll have to because his opponent is a pro-abort scuzball. Not that he or any of the other “Pro Life” Republicans have done very much to protect the unborn.

No sympathy from me in Pennsylvania. After kicking Santorum to the curb for Toomey. You get what you deserve. I lived in PA for 18 years until I graduated high school but still have a lot of family there and what republicans did to Santorum was criminal.

I’m in Rubio district. A guy knocked on my door asking if I was voting for Rubio I said I haven’t decided yet. But that I’m voting for Trump. As I said that He gleefully said great that’s a Repub ticket down line. I laughed. I’m thinking leaving that one blank.
