    This dude will say anything to get elected. No ****s given about our civic culture. He does not care about this country. Just Donald Trump.

    http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-general-election-rigged-potential-challenge

    At a Monday campaign event in Columbus, Ohio, Donald Trump teed up for a potential challenge to the integrity of the fall general election, an escalation of his rhetoric about the "rigged" primary system.

    "I'm afraid the election's gonna be rigged, I have to be honest," Trump told the crowd.

    While Trump has often questioned the integrity of the primary contests in both parties, his newest remarks seemed to begin laying groundwork for him to contest the Nov. 8 election results.

    It was a line of attack that longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone pushed on a podcast with Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos that was posted online Friday. Stone suggested voter fraud is "widespread" and said if Hillary Clinton wins a state like Florida after polls show Trump in the lead, the election would be "illegitimate."

    "If there’s voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government," Stone said. He also promised a "bloodbath" if the Democrats attempt to "steal" the election.

    Voter fraud is so statistically rare as to be virtually nonexistent, data has shown
    .

    ---

    Inciting violence before he has complete his own bungling of this campaign. Shameful and repulsive.

    I like to point out most Donald Trump supporters are like RL who just trolls to act like they are 'not sheep'. The election itself is not that important to them. On election day, I can see many Donald supporters not going out and voting. When push comes to shove, many who have just been trolling around for the past year are either going to sit at home or actually vote sincerely.

    More people are going to turn up out of pure fear of someone like Trump being president than people 'fearing' Hillary primarily because Hillary is status quo. No one actually legitimately fears a Hillary presidency. They are just tired of the status quo. Most could deal with another 4-8 years of status quo and just consider this a lost election. Trump is a different story. His erratic behavior is a game changer at the president level. His temperament and lack of knowledge has the legitimate potential to lessen the status of the US in a severely impactful way.

    Btw, if a Trump presidency does actually happen, I believe he as a legitimate chance of being the first president to be impeached AND not be acquitted primarily because he doesn't have the backing of a large portion of Republicans. You are not going to be acquitted when only half your party backs you.

    I mean, I'm just laughing at this point. He's now insulting fire marshals.

    So, let's see, here's the list so far- correct me if I'm wrong:

    Fire marshals
    A parent of a dead soldier
    A retired U.S. Army general
    CNN and the media in general, especially Megan Kelly
    Every Republican candidate even after he clinched the nomination
    A reporter with a disability
    Mexicans
    Muslims
    Women in general
    Protestors

    Can the list get any bigger?

    Yep.

    Need to add a former U.S. POW who was captured and held prisoner in Viet Nam and also he insulted a Federal Judge.

    So scary - I think these voterID laws are such an Orwellian plot to win elections. It's scary what these people are doing.

    I am starting to think that Trump really does want to become a dictator.

    I think he's doing everything he can not to get elected.

    But he will say anything to get his fake hair on tv

    Trump is the most picked upon person in the world.

    According to Trump and his staff...

    The media picks on Trump constantly.
    http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-07-01/donald-trumps-campaign-against-the-media
    Of course there are many more examples of this.

    The poor guy was attacked by other candidates for the Republican nomination.

    http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-chris-christie-muslim-immigration-bridgegate-2015-12
    And of course there's more instances of Trump claiming he's a victim by the other candidates as well.

    Trump complains about Khan family attacking him.
    http://www.latimes.com/nation/polit...icans-rebuke-donald-1470058389-htmlstory.html

    Now Trump has been attacked by the Fire Marshall
    http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box...rado-springs-brett-lacey-civilian-of-the-year

    Poor Donald. He surely must be the biggest victim in this nation!

    Either that or he's just the biggest whiner.

    That's very hard to believe. Either minority ethnicities in this country are dumb, ignorant, and stupid because they don't support Trump. Or he and the Republicans are doing something to make them run far away.
