CDZ Do you think the presidential election is rigged like Donald Trump suggests?

[nicoleivy5]

Donald Trump questions legitimacy of Presidential election, calls it “rigged”

Do you think its rigged in anyway? If so, in what ways is it rigged? I think its not rigged, I just think the media is biased against him and trying to ruin his reputation.

How in the hell is SNL part of the media? Besides, SNL has lampooned almost every president and presidential candidate since they've started!

Besides.............just last year, Trump actually HOSTED SNL, and thought that it was a good show.

Yet more proof that Trump is a thin skinned child.

It's pretty obvious that the mainstream media is trying to influence the outcome of the election.

Exactly HOW is SNL trying to influence the outcome of the election? Not only did SNL lampoon Trump, but they also lampooned Hillary.

they were more biased against Trump and tried to make him look like a clown. Why do you think Trump was so angry at SNL?

In Trump's tweet, he specifically referred to SNL and lumped them in with the "media".

Well, he had no problem with them a year ago when he hosted SNL.

BTW......................................in satire, you don't get to pick and choose what they will lampoon you for. It's whatever is in the news that they can make a joke of.

Any endeavor where large sums of money are used is able to be rigged to a degree

Trump makes himself look like a clown. They just made a joke out of it.

The political system in the US is definitely 'rigged'. Not in the sense Trump means, but in a sense that runs contrary to the general good.

 

[there4eyeM]

It is not up to the media to be objective, it is up the those who consult them to be alert.

Some of the SNL stuff sticks with the candidate. Lots of people still think Sara Palin said she can see Russia from her house.

This is where the idiocy of the Trump enablers is most on display.

One needs to realize that for President, there isn’t one election, there are in fact over 50 elections. One for each state and DC gets 3 electoral votes.

To “rig” an election’s outcome one would have to reach the secretaries of state in enough states to garner 270 electoral votes. Given that these persons are individual contractors with no ties to your administration and are often of different political parties (to say nothing of political philosophies or may be single issue persons who simply don’t like you based on one stand), that is a nearly impossible feat in and of itself.

Then there is the supposed voter fraud angle. I dismiss it outright even though I fully support (as long as the ID is free) any initiative that forces you to show a valid voter ID card when you cast a ballot. The technology is cheap and readily available so why not employ it to make our elections as sterile as possible??? That being said, there is not enough voter fraud to change any state wide election, if it were an issue, the GOP would be losing every border state by wide margins given that is where most of the illegal aliens are, and such accusations fail to explain why the GOP does so well in off year elections.

Incredibly large areas of red there. Funny how the voter fraud never seems to occur in individual congressional districts.

Finally, it if were true, you’d never have a state where the democrat won the state and the GOP held on to the Senate seat. I mean, why not give the President those votes as well? It happens all the time (as well as vice versa to where the democrat wins the Senate seat but the state is Red).


So, no, nothing is rigged. The media cares about one thing (outside of FOX, MSNBC, and Al Jazeera), getting eyeballs on it’s broadcast platforms any way they can. This election has never been very close and Trump has never lead in any reputable poll.

Some of the SNL stuff sticks with the candidate. Lots of people still think Sara Palin said she can see Russia from her house.

On the other hand, lots of folks still can't believe a lot of the crazy stuff she did say. Nobody could be that goofy.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

"Rigged" is a pretty loaded term, but a person would have to be awfully foolish to think the media and especially the debates have treated both candidates equally.

When Trump said it was 1 against 3 in the last debate, he was absolutely spot-on.

You nailed it!

Anyone that believe SNL is MSM need to have their head check because they're losing it...

Sure the SNL skits are bashing the GOP candidate but they do it all the damn time, and like you wrote Trump has hosted the show before...

Donald Trump is getting his base ready for the massive loss that is about to happen this November by telling them everyone was out to get him and the system is rigged so he could have never won...

The reality is the reason why Trump will not win the national election is because of him and not MSM or some silly TV show making fun of him...

Hell did anyone catch Family Guy last night?

If not watch the part where Peter is on the Bus with Trump, and it was so wrong but funny!

Wait, Family Guy picking on Trump is more proof of the MSM being bias, right!?!

 

[2aguy]

Yes.....from the Wikileaks email you see the democrats cooridanting against bernie sanders, and collusion between the clinton campaign and the Department of Justice, and the State Department.........as well as almost every major news organization in the country.....

The political system in the U.S. has always been rigged, and that's how Trump was able to become a billionaire.
