Sowing The Seeds Of Misery

Guardian UK: Trump labels Clinton 'the devil' and suggests election will be rigged - Republican nominee makes claims on campaign trail while ignoring controversy over his remarks about a Muslim soldier’s parents
He did not elaborate but later repeated the charge on Monday night with Sean Hannity on Fox News, saying: “November 8th, we’d better be careful, because that election is going to be rigged. And I hope the Republicans are watching closely or it’s going to be taken away from us.”

tRump is trying to de-legitimatize the election if he loses. The last time this was done was in 1860 and we all know the result. The man is seriously delusional, but considering how well armed his backers are these kinds of comments have to be taken seriously now. If he loses and right now its looking like that's very likely and he continues screaming and whining its been rigged and gives his following license to go into the streets to try and reverse it. Who knows what would happen?

If you get a chance to listen, there's a section on today's Morning Joe, where one them says he spoke with a close acquaintance of Trump. Trump is clearly not doing the logistics that are required to understand the voters in all the various sectors in all the states, Trump is still relying on Twitter and rallies, that aint going to win shit. Anyhow this friend of Trump's related to the Morning Joe guy that Trump doesn't want to win because he doesn't want to govern. He ideally wants to lose by a .5% margin so he can rile in a rigged election, and start his Trump TV network to foster his minions. In a way that is a more terrifying prospect than him winning because as FOX unwinds as Ailes is revealed as a sick major sexual predator, there's a void in the media. I think Trump sees his chance with Ailes going belly up.
