Drumpt says he's afraid the election will be rigged.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-election-rigged_us_579fb173e4b08a8e8b5f07a9?

Prepare for a meltdown from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump if he loses the election.

He told supporters on Monday that he fears the election could be rigged, an indication that even if Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton wins, Trump might not accept it. He made the comments while talking about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who lost the Democratic nomination to Clinton and whose supporters Trump has openly courted.

“First of all, it was rigged,” Trump said of the Democratic primary during a rally in Columbus, Ohio. “And I’m afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest.”

This is how Drumpt will attempt to avoid be labeled the thing he hates worst in life--LOSER. In doing so he will reinforce the Reich Wing's standard play of delegitimizing a Democratic President before ever being sworn in.

When he lamented about not getting full support of the GOP.

When he lamented about his "not-so-smart" campaign-staff doing mistakes.

This is just yet another scape-goat to blame for his failures.

Maybe, just maybe, instead of setting up a preemptive "I wuz robbed" defense, you MIGHT just try NOT opening your mouth and having something stupid fall out every time. See, this is why I believe that Drumpf has some sort of mental disorder. Most people can PRETEND to act Presidential, even if they're not. They've seen how Presidents act and can kinda fake it. Drumpf is completely incapable of acting like a President.

about stolen elections, maybe something will FINALLY be done about the possibility. I've seen Democrats complain about the selection of W in '00 and '04 for a decade and a half now. Yet even when they campaign talking about this, when Dems get into office they don't even ATTEMPT to do anything about it. Probably because to make a stink about it AFTER they're elected would throw their own election into doubt.

And maybe he's just afraid that HRC has the better hackers this election season.

Should we must forget those two elections that the republicans rigged? One was successful and the other made Carl Rove have a meltdown! By the way, what ever happened to Carl Rove?
