#3 Grasshoppers, as a30 year plus Judge of Elections in Chicago here is today's lessons:

1) it is not how you vote, it is how the votes are counted

2) you do not need anyone in the polling places. You just need ONE person where the electronic votes are tallied

3) use a damn paper ballot instead of the touch screens. Paper Ballots are saved for 10 years and can be manually counted, electrons can't be

4) hanging chads made Gore's people nuts not because the were evidence of vote fraud but because there were physical ballots to count

#4 Yes.

They will have to keep anyone but Hillary out of DC who can expose the biggest Clinton Foundation money laundering/payoff scheme in US political history. This corruption will rival the massive Brazilian government corruption scandal involving Petrobraus billions.

If your husband was a POTUS and you were a US Senator you have the power to get many, many people to arrange favorable legislation for your "Foundation" clients around the world. There are many ways to share some of those millions and millions in creative, clandistine ways to many politicians on both sides of the aisle and bureaucrats and top media elites.

The Clintons have perfected that activity and almost everyone in DC is caught up in their network. Federal Agencies who would investigate and prosecute are compromised now as well. President Obama is President Dilma Rousoff in this whole process. He is clean enough and posseses the ultimate power to keep a lid on this for everyone in DC.

This will be a nasty, totally corrupt election unless this rot IS effectively exposed somehow.

#5 To them, crapping on Americans and catering to the rest of the world as Globalists is where the millions of $$$ are. Their biggest threat is not crazy ISIS barbarians. The biggest danger trully is honest American citizens that MUST be neutralized by ANY means possible by this rotten political elite.

No longer, thanks to the interweb.

#7 This isn't something you're supposed to put out there in August. Makes you look weak and whiny. Save it for later when you're down 15 points in the polls, if that is what happens.

#8 He's just stating the Blinding Flash of the Obvious. The biggest example was Hayes-Tilden.

#9 Zorba has the truth of it. He's already making excuses for losing.

#10 Trump is "rigging" the election against himself with his lack of discipline. I do not care for this loud mouth, even though I will vote for him against Hillary.

Trump is running against both the worst D candidate since Jimmy Carter...the anti vote is roughly 50% against her...all he has to do is present himself as a viable alternative...and he just can't keep his foot out of his mouth.

A widely shared sentiment.

#12 The disenfranchise Bernie voters who now know their efforts were worthless cause it was indeed rigged from the start, couldn't be the target audience of these comments could they?

The man thinks out of the box.

Besides, you know of any election on the day or after when rigging was evident that the courts have ruled a 'do over'? Nah. Shine the spot light on the cockroaches before hand, cause afterward does nothing for you.

#13 If Trump didn't have that mouth of his he would have never gotten past the likes of Bush, Rubio, Kasich and Cruz. Now he's gonna turn it on Hillary. I wish him well.

#14 Probably the first step in motivating his troops to be poll watchers on election day. Perhaps get people to fill in absentee ballots but turn them in in person on Election day so there is a record and so they get counted in the early totals (hopefully, I'm not sure how that works).

#15 I for one am hoping for a good showing from Gary Johnson and the libertarians. Fiscal conservatism + social liberalism = yes, please. #feelthejohnson. The Republicans are dead to me; I don't recognize them anymore and they disgust me. That being said, I'll vote Trump if GJ is clearly a lost cause cuz I cannot stomach HRC or any liberal in office.

#16 I like Johnson as well but Libertarian foreign policy and immigration policy is a bit naive.

#17 I think many of the Bernie supporters are so
p!ssed at Hillary and Bernie for selling out that they will go to Gary Johnson or Dr. Jill Stein (Green Party); some might gravitate to Trump.

Um, no.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

You mean the "libertarians" who have expressed support for fascist Hillary?
