1. they want to cover their bases--seeeeeee, seeeeeee--we TOLD you the dems were

going to rig the elections!!

2. That's the point of the statements - but the subtext says "We are Going to Lose"

can't have it 'rigged' unless one loses.

[unblock]

3. actually, it sends a signal that it's ok to cheat on his behalf.

i mean, if hillary is doing it....

5. Either that or...

6. Its a con, Trump is just trying to weasel out of making a concession speech and

admitting he's a BIGLY looser! C'mon, Biggy Small, you'll look great... it will be YUGE!
