OF COURSE Republicans think it will be a "rigged election."

I was coming home from work a little while ago, and I was dismayed as I listened to another radio "journalist" yap on and on and on and on with repetitive questions, "Can the USA have rigged elections? Will the election be stolen?" The SAME bullshit we listened to regarding Obama and his goddamned birth certificate.

If journalists did their FUCKING jobs and reported on just how impossible it would be to rig a national election BECAUSE we actually have 50 SEPARATE state elections, etc. But NO.

HuffingtonPost reports (breathlessly), "41% of Republicans Think Election May be Rigged" yet a 2nd headline blares, "Trump Goes After Republicans on Rigged Election"---which is it?

They'll turn this into a situation of "what people believe."

I HATE the MSM!!!

about 50 separate elections run by 50 separate state officials (many of them publicans) at noon PDT today. Interviewed a publican secretary of state who was indignant over tRump remarks.

less 'annoyed' shall we say. . .

But I have gotten so damned tired of hearing about "what people think" rather than reporting on what the actual facts are.
I especially don't care what "people think" if those same people are Trump supporters. They obviously don't think.
