Trump Challenges Legitimacy of Election

By JILL COLVIN, ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Oct 15, 2016, 4:38 PM ET

A beleaguered Donald Trump sought to undermine the legitimacy of the U.S. presidential election on Saturday, pressing unsubstantiated claims the contest is rigged against him, vowing anew to jail Hillary Clinton if he's elected and throwing in a baseless insinuation his rival was on drugs in the last debate.

Not even the country's more than two centuries of peaceful transitions of political leadership were sacrosanct as Trump accused the media and the Clinton campaign of conspiring against him to undermine a free and fair election.

"The election is being rigged by corrupt media pushing completely false allegations and outright lies in an effort to elect her president," he said, referring to the several women who have come forward in recent days to say that Trump had groped or sexually assaulted them. He has denied the claims, calling the women liars.

Earlier Saturday, Trump took to Twitter to warn that "100% fabricated and made-up charges, pushed strongly by the media and the Clinton Campaign, may poison the minds of the American Voter. FIX!"

"Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted and should be in jail," he added. "Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election."

7. They will hold round tables and absolve themselves of any wrong doing, as is their habit.

After the election, we should plan at least one day a week to totally shut them out. Advertisers will know what day not to buy spots. This may teach them that we will not forgive what they have put us through and what continues to this day.

5. That is the angle from here on in (from Sessions too)

It's rigged.

Sessions should know better - and should be censured.

6. Once again today I heard him trash the FBI and Justice Dept

Ironically his supporters are keeping FBI very busy investigating insane terrorist plots and investigating the Russian hacking being done to help his campaign

8. "Rigged" - anything not 100% in his favor

Trump as a kindergartener: "Why can't I play on the swings all the time? This playground is rigged!"

And he hasn't matured one iota since.
