Sure, it's not impossible. I just see Trump actually believing his shit much more unlikely than him going with a pandering "say what they want to hear" tactic.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;51212748]Aight so you're saying Clinton has control over both the DNC, and the general election process
do you know how insane that sounds?[/QUOTE]
With the insanity this election cycle been providing? Some stuff that would've been tin foil hat in the 1990s seems to gained credibility now due to the biazrro way both sides have been behaving.
[QUOTE]"say what they want to hear" tactic.[/QUOTE]
What politicians doesnt do this?
[QUOTE=archangel125;51212849]You guys are clinically insane. Seriously, get help.[/QUOTE]What a ridiculous assertion, how is being wary of these people an insane thing to do? I'd say it's insane not to be.
Lol he just tweeted out one of the more favourable recent polls, showing him down by 4 points, and said 'finally' the election is 'close'

I don't know how the vote rigging would happen in the first place (neither does Trump, or he wouldn't say that illegal immigrants would try to vote 5 times).
Perhaps a better question would be, [i]why[/i] would Clinton rig the election? She's doing great in the polls.
The /pol/, alt-right, and r/the_donald meltdown when they get fucked on election day will provide the greatest entertainment of this decade.
[QUOTE=_Chewgum;51212830]It's not impossible that he actually believes what he says you know[/QUOTE]
its not impossible, but he's done a lot of flip flopping of opinions throughout the years, and did a lot of them rather recently to appeal to the republican fanbase.
[QUOTE=Killer900;51212844]Do you realize how powerful these people are and how something like that isn't as far-fetched and crazy as you think it sounds? We already know the media, Clinton's campaign, and the DNC colluded against Bernie to make sure Hillary got the nomination.
Just call your opposition crazy that really helps make your side look better.[/QUOTE]
The DNC, and the general election are of two vastly different scales.
Sure, I know the DNC was colluding. The DNC is also a private party that isn't bound by laws to adhere to voter populace, shitty excuse, but you can't say they're legally dubious if they don't break fucking laws.
The general election is a whole different game. You're talking about tens of thousands of colluders being involved.
Now ask yourself
How many people can hold a secret that large?
this election is a waste...
just vote:

I'm not saying "lol there's secretly a huge illuminati cabal working to ensure she wins", I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised to hear her taking less than ethical (or legal) measures to ensure a victory in swing-states. The Clintons certainly have the power and the resources to do it.[/QUOTE]
And Trump doesn't? After all, he is a billionaire, and he's calling on his supporters to be ""poll observers"" to ensure no funny business happens.
This is just a ridiculous conspiracy theory designed to appeal to those who would be very willing to cause violence on the day of the results. If that doesn't show that Trump is unfit to be President, I don't know what does.

No, literally nobody has the power to do that. You would have to rig literally hundreds of thousands of voting booths at the source without anybody noticing. There's no way to rig a US election without a huge illuminati cabal.

Fantastic debate skills in action right here.
[QUOTE=Svinnik;51212721]apparently the manufacturers of a few voting machines donate to the clinton foundation but the only source for that are alt news sites
tbh electronic voting is really sketchy and we should go back to paper ballots since they are harder to fake[/QUOTE]
It really sucks for people who use electronic voting, here we use paper ballots which we feed into a machine that counts (Just the total of votes, not the actual results) them and stores them in a safe environment.

Hell we only have a little over 500 members of Congress, even if hypothetically they were all involved in some grand conspiracy that's not that many people.
Besides, nobody would believe them anyway, they'd be labelled clinically insane by members of their community.

Oh, what were his reasons to do shady things in the primaries? Because he'd have the ""establishment"" against him? Are you trying to justify him rigging votes?
And him not having a history of corruption, that's rich. [URL="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/10/donald-trump-scandals/474726/"]Have you even been paying attention to the news in the last few weeks?[/URL] Sex scandals. Shady tax dodging. Abuse of his charities. Screwing over employees. Trump is the definition of a corrupt and shady businessman - but because his rhetoric appeals to you, you'll defend him to the death.
Neither Clinton nor Trump will rig the election.
But Trump's actions and words WILL cause violence no matter the result.
Trump is a dishonest mess, a hater, and a sore loser. He should drop out NOW!
[QUOTE=IliekBoxes;51212666]He knows he's going to lose lol[/QUOTE]
the thing is he will make the corruption look like a joke but it very much is
Monkah, does it hurt whatever's left of your conscience to lie as much as you do? Do you ever feel an ounce of shame carrying water for the very embodiment of crass avarice?
I hope it keeps you up at night.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;51212752]Can't you see?

She is the least competent genius mastermind puppeteer in human history.[/QUOTE]
Much like Schrodinger's Trump (master manipulator, always with the power plays, while simultaneously more honest than anyone in politics), Hillary is both the most AND least competent politician out there, depending on what you ask

Trump hasn't done ethically shady things? His entire campaign is built around hateful rhetoric towards women and minorities. He bullied his way through the primaries, and intentionally incites zealousness, outrage, and even violence at every possible turn. He's told his voters to intimidate people at the polls. He's told his voters to assassinate Clinton if he loses. He's promised that if he wins, he would throw his political opposition in prison. He's promised to outlaw a major world religion. He's promised to gut 1st amendment rights relating to the freedom of the press. He's expressed contempt for the rights of suspects to receive medical care and lawyers, and has promised to torture America's enemies simply because they "deserve it," regardless of the fact that torture doesn't produce actionable information.
And that's only in the course of [I]this election.[/I] The crevice gets even deeper when you look into his professional dealings and personal life; from his [B]blatant[/B] objectification of women, and self-confessed desire to abuse his power to sexually assault women (combined with multiple allegations of his doing just that), to the countless documented occasions in which he's ripped off contractors and employees (even bragging about how there's nothing they can do about it, and daring them to try and sue him), to his massive and illegal abuse of his charity funds, to his scam universities, etc, etc.
Donald Trump is a scumbag. He's also a fucking [I]psychopath,[/I] or at the very least, has built his campaign around psychopathic rhetoric and exercised every ounce of his considerable wealth and clout to poison the democratic process and turn the people of our country against each other.
He's done "nothing ethically shady?" Get fucking real.

please explain to me how you orchestrate mass voter fraud nationwide without leaving any evidence behind or ever having anyone leak your secret at any point
and then explain to me why a political candidate would attempt to pull off this plan when all current information indicates that they're already going to win in a landslide

the only reason why he doesn't have a history of political corruption is because he's never had any experience in politics.
