I know that while Trump's insistence that the elections are rigged against him has something of a rallying effect on some supporters, does anyone think it may end up making some say that if that's the case, why bother? and not participate?
It seems like pushing that line of thought over and over could be a two-edged sword.

I don't know but it sure fires up his base. And, we all know there is some truth to his statement. I do wish he would throttle it down some.

Trumps problem isn't the content of his message, it's his presentation.
He's not wrong.

Trumps biggest enemy is the media...If I've got this election wrong, it'll be the first time since Bush lost to Clinton and that election was complicated by Perot...I see a landslide in Trumps favor...

After the RINOmoney debacle, we found out that O'Buckwheat got 110% of the vote in certain districts.
RINOmoney the pussy, and the rest of the pussy Rs, didn't say sh|t about it.
DT's warnin the mfers not to cheat, or else.
He knows they will, and if it happens, he'll keep his promise and blow the fn thing up with challenges to the fraud.
There's still dumb sh|ts out there that think the Ds picked Trump on purpose, but he's the only R there was, that was tough enough to call BS on election fraud.
Ds are pullin on the wrong cape with any election BS.

I think you're right. Clinton barely beat Bush 1, and that was with Perot in the picture. But folks kinda liked that rogue Billy Goat, NO ONE likes the shrill old harpy Hillary. Trump IS a hard sell, but there's enough folks on both sides that absolutely HATE that old woman. You can include me in that last bunch.

If Trump would just shut up for a while he would walk away with the election. Only problem is his ego won't let him and he doesn't listen to anybody. Damn shame.

For me, it's the fact that someone finally had the balls to talk about it!
As I mentioned in a previous post, the 59 districts in Philadelphia make up almost 1/3 of PA's popular votes. And The Democratic machine brazenly cheats every election. There's a 5 or 6 percent buffer built in for any democratic candidate. In a state with a little over 4.5 million voters, this amounts to over 200,000 illegitimate or fraudulent votes.
Every election cycle, conservative news talks about the Philly turnout, always 110% or more, and always 100% democrat. In 2012 in these 59 districts, there were over 19,600 votes for BamBam, and not a single one for Romney!
As a lifelong conservative Pennsylvanian, all I can do is get pissed and shake my head.
I would love to see Trump clean up and destroy these Democrat machines in Several different states, and put in safeguards against election fraud.
At least the Dems are honest about one thing, (accidentally) democratic elections are one of the fundamental American rights.

7mm d I am in PA also and you NAILED how it goes every election here. I think it is great that Trump is hammering it home. Anyone that cannot see the media bias and the rigged elections here ain't looking very hard...

John If you throw a brick through your TV it will never occur to you that a candidate condemning voter fraud would hurt them at the polls. That kind of talk is just the latest spew from the television propaganda squad.

He's not wrong. I can't argue with that. Best platform, worst candidate. ......... I don't know but it sure fires up his base. His base was/is gonna vote for him no matter what. Problem is, no one's base is big enough to put him over the top. If he'd run any kind of campaign at all, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

Trump has been working his ass off,..largely without any assistance from the RNC. He's had to be a one man band since his campaign started and he has embraced that role by appearing in front of full house rallies filled with loud, enthusiastic supporters multiple times a week for many months. It's not uncommon for him to do 2 or 3 rallies a day in different cities. Meanwhile,...Hillary has been as hard to find as Waldo. She gives a 15 minute speech in some high school library to 300 people then has to lay in the bed for a week to get over it. So you tell me. What kind of campaign would you have Trump run?

It just takes the focus off Hillary and Wikileaks.
Trump would have a better chance if he just quit playing the victim card.

Trump isn't playing the victim card. He's telling his supporters that they're the victims.

There is no focus on wikileaks. The media won't cover it.

What kind of campaign would you have Trump run? One where he listened to Kellyanne Conway and followed her advice. One where his surrogates weren't having to defend his latest ego-driven outbursts.
