I think Trump has been prepared to spend a huge wad if the eleciton is contested.
I mean if you were Trump and from the get go they get you to pledge to stand behind the eventual nominee. Then you win and the double cross you.
When the members of the GoPe, including a former President, say they are going to vote for you vile opponent.
Be prepared to spend some big bucks on a contested election.

I think team hillary wants a contested election. I think that has been their plan once they knew they couldn’t take out Trump.

He didn’t mean it in the way that the ball-less GOP-e means it.

Early voting opened up today in Kansas. I was #3 in my little berg to cast my ballot.

Count one for Trump.

Yes, I noticed that she wasn’t asked, nor responded.

Why would Wallace ask this question in particular and then only of Trump?

Unless he has some inside info of what’s coming down on E-Day.....................

Thank you for referencing that article mdittmar. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

If the nation hadn’t foolishly strayed from the Founding States’ constitutionally enumerated procedure for electing a president, then one person could probably count and recount the electoral votes in a couple of hours.

And don’t forget that one of the federal government’s very few constitutional responsibilities where domestic policy is concerned is to deliver the mail (1.8.7).

Trump is fearless. He is the most confident man in America. He’s either been incredibly lucky his whole life or he’s forced his way to the top. His “bad hombres” line spoke to millions and said, in effect, “ Yeah, I’m a billionaire but I’m you, too...”

Game over...Trump in landslife

Why should anyone accept a fraudulent result in which an indictable felon becomes president and creates a pay for access scheme in the nation’s highest office?

Why should anyone accept a result in which the successor of an incompetent, having not renounced any key aspect of that incompetence, and having demonstrated a potential for greater incompetence, arrives to be sworn in?

The real question is whether millions will resist, or just complain about it, should this nightmare scenario unfold.

And the people who could answer that question were not in the debate hall, so we don’t know yet what level of acceptance a Hillary Clinton presidency would have. The patience of many patriotic Americans has run very thin over the past eight years, there is a limit to how much further this can be tested, and in saying that, I am just stating an obvious fact rather than trying to whip up any kind of sentiment — that is not within my power to do anyway.

If there was a massive landslide for Hillary, that would be one kind of tragedy but if there is a narrow, apparently fraudulent outcome, then I believe that needs to be resisted in all legal forms and ultimately, well, we shall see. Freedom means nothing if you just surrender it on a technicality to those who plan to remove it permanently.

I would say that’s a smart thing to do.

I never listen to Rush Limbaugh but did this morning while in the car doing errands. He laid out the the Democrats sins on this one. It was masterful. Someone should send Trump a transcript.

Trump didn’t get this far by being an idiot....I would imagine that in talking to O’Keefe, he knows there’s even MORE damning evidence to come.

Exactly, he is letting the Dems know he won’t roll over for their criminal activity. As for the GOPE, they are just giving me more reasons for the giving them the finger down ticket. I detest those sniveling snakes more than the Democrats at this point.

Rush's quote regarding the question on his website...

RUSH: That question Chris Wallace asked, "Mr. Trump, will you pledge to accept the result?" "No, no. Why should I?" If he would have accepted, if he would have announced last night that he was gonna accept the results, the story today would be: "Trump conceded defeat last night." But here's the real point. Trump did what he had to do. Trump's whole reason for running is wrapped up in his answer to that question last night.

Another good one from Rush today...

Over-the-Top Reaction to Trump Tells Me They're Scared to Death He Can Win......

RUSH: I maintain to you, folks, that they are still paranoid and scared to death of Donald Trump in this campaign. This reaction that they're all having to this is so out of proportion to what he said. All he said was, 'We're gonna wait and see.' It's a commonsense answer to a question.
