Debate 3 over, Hillary kicked his ass.

Saying he might not accept the outcome of Nov. 8th appeals only to the tin foil haberdashery of his base. It sets of a whole new round of negative news cycles, to be combined with more accusers. Not good for him.

I'm sure that's going to spark a whole new round of negative news. But then again, this isn't really all that surprising, considering his general mistrust of establishment politicians, Washington, the media, intelligence officials (I don't trust them a whole lot either), and pretty much all kinds of insiders.

Whether or not he really believes that the election process is going to be rigged against him, I think his main reason of promoting this idea is simply to make more people (edit: or rather his base) go out and vote, as Min just pointed out.

Essentially, he is attempting to rig peoples' minds - by using the fear tactic.

Right, but convincing the moderate American that the election is rigged is silly. The point is that the fear tactic only works on people who are susceptible to it lock stock and barrel, and that is a small slice of the electorate which is already voting for him.

Everyone has seen the videos, heard the recordings. No one thinks the media is fabricating things when Trump says them himself. The only people who want to believe that the reason that people aren't voting for their candidate is that there is something shady going on are voting for Trump already.

Slandering the American Election system only works to his disadvantage. Inciting violence and fear at polling stations is going to work against him. It sends a clear message as to what Trump's 'Great' America truly looks like. Armed citizens attempting to use the threat of violence to get their way? People reject that.
