White House to Trump: Election won't be 'rigged'

Donald Trump's declaration that the general election could be "rigged" against him reeks of a candidate poised for defeat, the White House suggested Wednesday.

"I know this is the subject of debate at the end of the last presidential election when some supporters of Gov. [Mitt] Romney complained of skewed polling. So this is not a new claim. I would just note that it is often a claim made by people who don't end up winning elections," press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters at the daily briefing. "What I'll just say in general is that the cornerstone of our democracy is the ability of eligible voters, citizens to cast a ballot and to have it counted and the more people participate in that system, the more people that participate in that process, then the stronger our democracy."

Earnest went on to note that President Barack Obama has made a similar case in front of bipartisan audiences.

White House to Trump: Election won't be 'rigged'

Responding is "the tell". The election will be rigged.

Isn’t the company that counts the votes located in Spain and affiliated with Soros?

There’s no doubt there will be election fraud. The question is are there mechanisms in place to find it and to prosecute it. It seems likely that Trump will be more likely to make challenges than other Republicans have been in the past.

Obama arrogantly and blatantly taunts the public, yet again. He knows that he is lying, he knows that the public knows, and he knows that absolutely nothing will be done about it.

He isn’t speaking about THIS election. Or any specific election either. He is talking about some general no one knows or has seen in this century.

Were there not some precincts in 2012 that got over 100% votes based on their populations? Seems like they were predominately non-white precincts in a few large cities, and they went for ... {drum roll} .... Obama! What luck!

Trump and the Pubbies should have ‘eyes’ on the Spanish company that is going to do the counting.

“Soon” isn’t good enough and simply evidence of rigging isn’t good enough.

The long knives of the entire globalist establishment are out for Trump today and they will not cease for even a minute. Their control of the primary means of communication is total - they’ve bought them all. They are killing him today and Assange coming to help in a few months will make difference at all at that time.

I will tell you if this election is rigged or not when I see a Black Panther at the polls with a billy club, and then you will hear on the 11 o’clock news about a couple guys chasing him off, with me included in the group to supress voter intimidation.... no wait CNN would report this as a hate crime!
