    You're right it's too late for me to figure out how your conspiracy theories apply.

    Have a good night

    Nothing a few strategic drone strikes can't handle.

    Just saw Pence on the Meet the Press and he continued to repeat the mantra that the media is rigging the election. He did though when pressed say that they (Trump campaign) will accept the will of the American people.

    Warnings of conspiracy stoke anger among Trump faithful

    CINCINNATI — In an arena normally reserved for ice hockey, the Donald Trump crowd was on edge.

    Some wore shirts with slogans like “[Expletive] Your Feelings” or, in reference to the female Democratic nominee, “Trump that b****.” Others had buckets of popcorn, ready for the show. When the media entourage entered, thousands erupted in boos.

    At a time when trust in government is at a low point, Trump is actively stoking fears that a core tenet of American democracy is also in peril: that you can trust what happens at the ballot box.

    His supporters here said they plan to go to their local precincts to look for illegal immigrants who may attempt to vote. They are worried that Democrats will load up buses of minorities and take them to vote several times in different areas of the city. They’ve heard rumors that boxes of Clinton votes are already waiting somewhere.

    And if Trump doesn’t win, some are even openly talking about violent rebellion and assassination, as fantastical and unhinged as that may seem.

    “If she’s in office, I hope we can start a coup. She should be in prison or shot. That’s how I feel about it,” Dan Bowman, a 50-year-old contractor, said of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. “We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take. . . . I would do whatever I can for my country.”

    He then placed a Trump mask on his face and posed for pictures.

    Anger and hostility were the most overwhelming sentiments at a Trump rally in Cincinnati last week, a deep sense of frustration, an us-versus-them mentality, and a belief that they are part of an unstoppable and underestimated movement. Unlike many in the country, however, these hard-core Trump followers do not believe the real estate mogul’s misfortunes are of his own making.

    They believe what Trump has told them over and over, that this election is rigged, and if he loses, it will be because of a massive conspiracy to take him down.

    Utterly embarrassed and his response is to say "no big deal" If this kid had an ounce of self respect they would never post again. But then judging by his posts, I doubt he has the simple intellect to understand and follow through. God bless you.

    Yes. Let's do it. The difference here is we have some fringe crazies vs a fringe conspiracy nut source.

    There is no conspiracy about those individuals. It's well substantiated and no one is disputing that they had plans. You want to link that to fringe nut sites that try to do some overarching grand conspiracy that Hillary Clinton shwaks political dissenters. K.

    Has there ever been a bigger p***y in politics than Trump? I don't think so. He whines and cries about anything that comes out against him. Of course he ignores the free press he's been getting. He also ignores that if he didn't give the media ammunition they wouldn't have anything bad to report on him.

    Yet, this guy plays the victim so bad and cries all the time. I honestly have never seen a bigger p***y in politics ever.

    Talk about playing the victim card.

    Blames the media, the banks, the Jews, the blacks, the Latinos, and the Muslims - and finally women for his lack of ability to actually have any kind of discussion on substance.

    I think the worst part of the Trump campaign is that Pence is committing seppuku with his career. He knows that he's tagging along on a one way freight train that's going to just fly off the end of the tracks into some dark abyss, but it's like he's happy to go along for the ride.

    There are some rules of primary decorum that other Republicans observed even while Trump stomped all over them. We saw this on the DNC side when folks were putting some pressure on Bernie to not get too nasty in the primary and hurt Clinton's chances in the general election. I doubt other primary contenders even had the research going in time to look for that kind of stuff because they weren't looking to go nucular.

    Aside from that, there's something about how this caught on now. I remember from the primary season there was an article published about the lawsuit against Trump for rape of an underage girl at a party. I believe that's still in process today. Somehow, though, it didn't get any legs as a political story even though -- if true -- it's much more serious than kissing and groping without permission.

    I appreciate the ADL and all, but they have a way of making everything be about the Jews.

    What you don't seem to acknowledge is that much of Trump's support is the unhinged fringe.

    Trump may have made his biggest mistake by dragging Joe Biden into his sewer hole.

    Joe Biden will punch Trump in the face.

    The fact that you had to reiterate a hypothetical of Trump being on his best behavior is pretty telling of your candidate Lolz...

    we have never seen a bigger p***y, and at the same time have never seen someone so full of bluster, bullying and tough-guy talk.

    Trumps problem is he has spent years being surrounded by "Yes" people and hanger ons, so he believes in his own BS, that he can't do any wrong, and that everyone loves him.

    He is finally gettting a dose of reality and he doesn't like it.
