The Election is Rigged (I'm Going To Lose)

[CapnAwesome]

I don't think you could rig the American election. If it came out that Hillary had rigged voting machines or some such (and considering how secure her communications aren't and the technology involved and trail it would leave, it probably would.) she would be instantly impeached and her reputation and legacy ruined forever, her family it's future in politics permanently gone. Any speaking fees that she would later garnish, totally gone. It would be better for her to lose the election then to rig it and it be found out.

Trump likes conspiracy theories and voting machine conspiracies have been around forever. Not sure if he is referencing that, as he's not really clear. I think it's probably just him playing up the outsider thing or something that worked for him in the primaries so he's repeating it. Maybe an appeal to Bernie supporters. Maybe him pre-excusing a loss. That's certainly the angle that people who loath Trump are going with, but they always believe the worst or most extreme about him, so I give that little credence.

Anyway, the election isn't rigged, so whatever.
