Rubio, Toomey Dispute Trump 'Rigged' Election Claims in Debates
nbcnews ^

Posted on 10/18/2016 1:10:43 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Pat Toomey became the latest Republicans to speak out against Donald Trump's warnings of a rigged election Monday night.

In separate high-stakes debates, the two incumbent U.S. senators each refuted Trump's claim that the results of the 2016 election could be tainted, and both men called for confidence in next month's vote.

"Our elections may not always be completely perfect, but they are legitimate, they have integrity and everyone needs to respect the outcome," Toomey said during his debate with challenger Katie McGinty when asked about the Republican presidential nominee's allegations, which he's been repeating on the stump all week.

Toomey said that the success of the American "republic" depends on citizens' "confidence in the outcome of the elections" and said voters should respect the outcome, "because that's going to be necessary to pull us all together on Nov. 9."

I can imagine many possible scenarios for November 9th, but “pull us all together” is not on the list.

Trump gained our support because he fights and says it like it is, but the rest of the GOP is afraid to take on the media and the Democrats.

Point out one word out of Toomey’s pie hole that DISPROVES that the elections are rigged? Our only hope is that this time Trump’s yuuuge turnout will overpower and swamp even the ‘Rat rigging.

If the GOPe wants Hillary, then I’ll never vote Republican again, and since I won’t vote dem or libertarian I just won’t vote unless a viable, Conservative party is established.

Let’s put the RINOs out of business, like they have done to us.

I’m assuming these articles came out before the Project Veritas release of the Democrat saying oh, yeah, we’ve rigged elections for decades.

Rubio and Toomy are a poster boys for a split ticket. President Trump will be able to work with whatever is left of the bedwetting congress.
Republican Party has become a circular firing squad and the media carrion eaters are getting fat!

Feckless coward Republicans never disappoint; they are ALWAYS icky worms with no balls. I will not vote for a Republican ever again. I will vote for Trump and walk out.

1-wikileaks show collusion between DNC and influential members of “news” media
2-O’keefe videos show DNC election commissioner admitting election fraud
3-O’keefe videos show DNC/Clinton campaign paid people who hired goons to cause violence at Trump rallies - which the media claimed were caused by Trump
4-2012 Obama administration used IRS to slow walk non-profit applications of pro-Romney - limiting their participation in 2012 election
5-FBI colluded with state dept, AG, and white house to prevent Hillary Clinton from being indicted - even though FBI director admitted that she had committed crimes that have sent others to prison
6-fed gov’t has acknowledged tampering with state level election programs and have said publicly the Russians have tried to interfere with our election
6-there are investigations into election irregularities in Texas, Indiana, Virginia and other states
7-The DNC candidate for President is on record for lying to the American people about her unapproved email system and illegal handling of classified information

All of the forgoing points are FACTS.

It is not unreasonable to believe that the election will be rigged.

Trump stated the Demo primaries were rigged against Bernie. Wikileaks confirmed the hard rigging. There is ample evidence in wikileaks and current investigations of voter fraud and the MSM being completely in the bag for Hellary and prepared to publish any kind of crap to bolster her - defacto rigging. These weasels need a reality check. Better a gonad check.

Instead of sticking their heads in the sand, they should be pledging to prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law.

Charge them with treason.

Bar illegal voters from EVER any chance of gaining citizenship. Kick them and their families out.
