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

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 certainly understand the temptation—though we need as many of those weaselly GOPe types in the House and Senate as possible, given they’re the best we have right now...

I notice more and more people saying “refuted” when they mean “disputed.”

More voted than registered but somehow they all voted “D”. I think Cleveland was similar. This should be exposed for all to see. Saddam Hussein only got 98% of the vote. Our P.O.S. Hussein got 108%. Can you say Banana Republic?

Well, yeah, I guess that you are right. I voted for that son of a bitch Rubio, but it is a mistake I won't make again. In fact, I am going to call his office tomorrow and tell them Why I am not voting for the bastard. Not that they give a damn what I think or say. But it will make me feel better.

Put ALL Rinos out of business!!

They will only hurt a President Trump. Rinos’ are counterproductive. They are cowards. They are untrustworthy.

They are basically Democrats.

I've always liked Rubio...I wanted him to run for the presidency...

but when I heard him mouthing off and being featured in a slam on DT today on one of the SCM stations, I could spit in his face....

hope he wins the Senate seat, but he'll never see my money again...
