Trump labels Clinton 'the devil' and suggests election will be rigged

Republican nominee makes claims on campaign trail while ignoring controversy over his remarks about a Muslim soldier’s parents

Donald Trump has claimed that there is a possibility of the US presidential election being “rigged” as he tried to divert attention away from a disastrous week for his campaign by also labelling his rival Hillary Clinton as “the devil” and praising the primary opponent of Republican speaker Paul Ryan.

The Republican nominee has in the past few days faced a barrage of criticism following his controversial comments about the Gold Star parents of a Muslim soldier killed in Iraq.
In response to an emotional attack on him by the parents of 27-year-old army captain Humayun Khan, who died in a suicide bombing, Trump had claimed to have made sacrifices equal to their son.

A range of figures and organizations from across the political spectrum from John McCain to Barack Obama to the Veterans of Foreign Wars have criticized him for his comments.

But at rallies on Monday Trump declined to address that controversy and, in moments typical of his campaign so far, decided to ignite others.

At a campaign town hall in Columbus, Ohio, Trump said he feared that the election would be “rigged,” in an unprecedented statement for a major party nominee in modern history.

“I’m afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest,” he told the crowd.

He did not elaborate but later repeated the charge on Monday night with Sean Hannity on Fox News, saying: “November 8th, we’d better be careful, because that election is going to be rigged. And I hope the Republicans are watching closely or it’s going to be taken away from us.”
More trumpness...

The guy is completely unhinged.

Fucken nutjob.

Plenty of evidence already to suggest rigging. Planting false anti trump stories with the media or conspiring against Bernie in the primaries is evidence of that. The we have google, facebook, and twitter helping hillary.
Wonder what kind of regulatory or anti trust Trump is thinking up for them if he gets elected.

Hitting the conspiracy bottle.

What's an election without conspiracy? Bush was famous for those.

Fucken nutjob.

Yes, the very idea that Hillary Clinton would be in cohoots with the press to help swing the election is absurd. There were never any incidents of collusion between the Democrats and the press, like pre-screening of news articles to make sure they were approved by the Democratic Party. That would never happen. And, Hillary is always honest and upstanding, she said so, like when she said the FBI found that she'd be completely truthful in her statements about the email/server scandal. And, she never would cover anything up, or do anything unethical. Not Hillary. Anyone who would question her pristine record is a nutjob.

I love how, now, the Democrats think it's just crazy that an election might be rigged. When Bush got elected in 2004, we heard, without end, a stream of conspiracy theories including references to rigging of voting machines and all that. But, the Democrats would never do anything like that. If the DNC/Clinton conduct regarding Bernie Sanders tells us anything, it's that the Democratic Party is completely ethical, and would only ever want the true will of the people to be fulfilled....

Except the Bush election was rigged.

Yes, yes, they easily rigged the 2000 and 2004 election without leaving any trace of their evil doings. Ever since, however, they have been completely incapable of rigging anything to defeat the completely honest and forthright Democrat Party, which only ever does things legitimately, honestly, ethically and with full transparency. They can rig an election to get George Bush election, but they can do nothing to get Jeb Bush nominated by the Republican Party....

The most surprising thing about Donald Trump's rise in the last year has to be that it happened at all. People can actually vote for someone in the US who is not anointed by the insiders, and he can win.

Plonker.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested Monday that he fears the general election "is going to be rigged" — an unprecedented assertion by a modern presidential candidate.

Trump's extraordinary claim — one he did not back up with any immediate evidence — would, if it became more than just an offhand comment, seem to challenge the very essence of a fair democratic process.

"I'm afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest," the Republican nominee told a town hall crowd in Columbus, Ohio. He added that he has been hearing "more and more" that the election may not be contested fairly, though he did not elaborate further.
