Donald Trump is in a funk: Bitter, hoarse and pondering, ‘If I lose. . .’

The gloomy mood has extended to his signature rallies, which Trump used to find fun. During the primaries, he would bound onto rally stages bursting with energy and a sense of excitement that intensified as the crowds chanted his name and cheered his every word. He would regularly schedule news conferences, call into news shows and chat with reporters, eager to spar with them. He would say politically incorrect things and then watch his polling numbers soar. He used to be the winner.

But no more. In recent days, Trump has tried to explain away his slide in the polls as a conspiracy carried out by the media, Democrats and Republicans. If he loses, it will be because he was cheated, Trump has repeatedly told his supporters, urging them to go to polling places in neighborhoods other than their own and “watch.”

and its pundits always knew what a SOS this clown is. Money was the driving force in making this buffoon a viable candidate for POTUS. The love of money is destroying the integrity of our electoral process and along with ALEC, law of the land, ensures controversy in all upcoming electoral processes for the foreseeable future.

says, "there has never been a movement like this in history". I beg to differ. 50,000 klan members marching down Pennsylvania Avenue in the 20's was a viable movement of racist excreta, like has has energized again, that has maintained its foothold on the scummist factions in american culture for generations. This asshole is really blind in his narcissism. He hasn't created a movement, all he has done is bring the scum back out into the open to hate and divide our society of diverse citizens. May this POS slink into obscurity, quickly.
