Trump says the election is rigged — and his supporters are furious




Bryan Woolston/REUTERS


CINCINNATI —...............


..................Unlike many in the country, however, these hard-core Trump followers do not believe the real estate mogul’s misfortunes are of his own making.

They believe what Trump has told them over and over, that this election is rigged, and if he loses, it will be because of a massive conspiracy to take him down.
Get Political Happy Hour in your inbox:

At a time when trust in government is at a low point, Trump is actively stoking fears that a core tenet of American democracy is also in peril: that you can trust what happens at the ballot box.

His supporters here said they plan to go to their local precincts to look for illegal immigrants who may attempt to vote. They are worried that Democrats will load up buses of minorities and take them to vote several times in different areas of the city. They’ve heard rumors that boxes of Clinton votes are already waiting somewhere.

And if Trump doesn’t win, some are even openly talking about violent rebellion and assassination, as fantastical and unhinged as that may seem.

“If she’s in office, I hope we can start a coup. She should be in prison or shot. That’s how I feel about it,” Dan Bowman, a 50-year-old contractor, said of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. “We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take. . . . I would do whatever I can for my country.”

He then placed a Trump mask on his face and posed for pictures. ...............

I'm pretty sure that's where the NRA held a meeting in the 70's when the racist named Harlon Carter took over. Carter had previously murdered a Mexican immigrant that he wrongly assumed had committed a crime. The NRA hasn't been the same ever since that takeover, at least according to what I've read.

There's some good people there, like everywhere, but Cincitucky seems to have a fairly high number of hateful and racist whites.

An organized "war"? I seriously doubt that.

Zimmerman-like attacks? Those might happen more often.

I'm white, and this happened to me a few years ago:

They'll be billed later.

Either that, or it'll warrant them a mandatory change of address replete with three hots and a cot.

Because that's what you are doing when you "go up right behind them...to make them a bit nervous", you POS.

I hope Dan Bowman gets a visit from the Secret Service some time in the not too distant future, if he hasn't already.

The bad news is that it's only a misdemeanor punishable for up to a year in prison. The law should have more teeth and be upgraded to a felony IMHO.

I guess "American" is what you speak when you give up on the usage of proper English.

Thank you, Mr. Webb, for confirming so much about Trump supporters.

Are twiddling their thumbs, pretending nothing is wrong. Supporting or not supporting their presidential candidate according to their mood, the phases of the moon, or the pattern of the entrails of a wildebeast.

Craven, sniveling cowards, all of them. If people are injured or worse, it's on their heads as well as the deplorables'.

I can not understand how his supporters do not see how scary and unhinged Trump is and I hate to think there are so many violent Americans.
