Trump Is Right: The Presidential Election Is Rigged...

Against Hillary Clinton

From pissy political purists, to hostile foreign powers, to nihilistic hackers, to the head of the FBI, Clinton has endured a relentless barrage of attacks -- all seemingly aimed at throwing the election for Donald Trump........

........Think about it for a minute. Has any presidential candidate ever had to run the kind of gauntlet that Hillary Clinton has over the past several months? Has any presidential candidate ever faced down this much organized opposition from this many separate sources? Has any U.S. campaign for the presidency been subjected to this much determined interference by entities both foreign and domestic, all of whom should have exactly zero role in influencing American politics? The answer to all of these questions is -- no. No way. Since the very beginning of her campaign, disparate forces have gathered and even aligned specifically to prevent Clinton from ever becoming president. And in the final weeks of the race, their efforts have reached a grotesque crescendo.

Donald Trump can't lose. His entire self-made mythology rests precariously on the premise that he's a winner. He says it over and over again because for Trump it's not simply a statement of purpose but the centerpiece of his brand. A public loss for Trump would be humiliating, sure, but it would also be a repudiation of everything he purports to be about. Without all that supposed winning, Trump is just some orange windbag with ridiculous hair who doesn't know how to properly tie a necktie. He's a joke. Granted, he's these things anyway, but it's his alpha-male braggadocio and his ability to bullshit idiots into thinking he succeeds at everything he tries that elevates him in the starstruck eyes of America's vast yokel contingent.

as far as I'm concerned the GOP has been rigging elections for decades.

The conspiracy against the Clintons is mostly because the MI complex is scared to death of the Clintons. They are both smart and understand the system.

They pulled out all the stops against Hillary with the movie that got us Citizen's United - because their worst fear was Hillary as President.

Trump may be the worst GOP candidate since Palin, and we're lucky that Jeb or someone better is not the nominee. Hillary is going to win this and make the repubs live miserable!
