The Republican nominee, sinking in the polls, lashes out at the dishonest media, a partisan debate commission, and a GOP establishment out to get him.

A bitter Donald Trump on Wednesday ratcheted up his accusations about a rigged system designed to coronate Hillary Clinton, blaming a corrupt Democratic nominee, a dishonest media, a partisan debate commission, an unjust justice system, and a Republican establishment that’s in on it all.
Trump also offered a glimpse into his potential administration, a reign that would jail Clinton and the law firm that helped delete emails from her private server, and would include an investigation into the Justice Department investigation that ultimately cleared her of criminal wrongdoing.
But Trump signaled that such things are unlikely to happen — not because that’s now how the federal government operates — but because the political establishment is working to elect Clinton over him.
“Look, we’re in a rigged system, folks. This is a rigged, rigged system,” Trump said Wednesday during an afternoon rally in Ocala, Florida.
The real estate mogul lamented Republicans and Democrats in Congress for not doing enough. He recommended that the next Congress pass a bill to address Clinton’s email scandal. Simply put, he added, he’s embarrassed that Congress has allowed Clinton to run for president after committing “crime at the highest level.”

You do understand that a presidential candidate is not supposed to sound like his most partisan supporters right?

Good. I hope he goes full bore. The more people he drives to third party voting, the better.

Highly unlikely, but it's a nice thought. Even IF the House has to decide this election ... my hunch is they would still elect Hillary.

Oh I'm under no delusion that she won't be prez. I wrote this election off when Trump was nominated. My only hope is that enough third parties get votes so next time the fence sitters will be more apt to go that route.

He's reminded me of Queeg for months. But Queeg was a better man than trump. Instead of steel marbles, Trump uses tweets.

In his little hands, of course.

Pressed by CNN's @ErinBurnett, Jerry Falwell Jr. says he would vote for Trump even if he has a record of sexual assault.

And what he's trying to do now is lay the groundwork for blaming everyone but himself for his loss.
Expect his followers to do the same here shortly.

Nobody is saying that. Trump is his own worst enemy, and everything being used against him is his own voluntarily produced work product.

I would certainly not say that, considering we're pretty much screwed either way.

I can only guess you won't have to pay for the consequences.
After Trump won the nomination I figured the Pubs would lose, but it sure didn't make me happy. During the last 8 years under the reign of obama I've had to replace all but a few of my employees with contractors. My healthcare was terminated and the replacement for it was twice as expensive. I began moving a part of my business out of the country and with a hillary reign I will have to move more of it. I find nothing to be happy about this mess and I blame the Trump supporters who wouldn't listen to their fellow Pubs.

He's just joking. He will feel it right along with the rest of us. He has the gift of humor which we are all going to need more of as things play out, no matter who wins.
I get it, but sometimes I just want to vent my frustration.
-
Oh I see. I do that too. :beer:
You know after the first POTUS who actually made Jimmy Carter look like he knew what he was doing we are now going to get hillary who will make obama actually look competent. Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina, Walker, even Kasich, Bush and Paul would have beat hillary. Instead the Trump supporters insisted on the least experienced crudest guy in the bunch. I don't see a way back after immigration reform gets pushed through and the borders remain open.

Seriously. I'm digging the shit out of the sequence of events that got us to this point in time. They are going to be talking about this election for 40-50 years. Hell, it will be yuge in college textbooks. Whole semester long courses will be taught on this mess.
"How to destroy a political party 101".
Pictures of D.J.Trump will be everywhere. He will replace Joseph McCarthy as the Republican who did the most damage to the brand. He will be the butt of jokes till the day he dies.
A fitting end to a scum Bum like Donald "Shorty" Trump.
Yep. Good times.

@bilo
OK I was wrong. I think you are right about his end. But I can't be happy about it overall. It is all bad going forward.
It will all work out. It always does. Everything happens for a reason.

Are you kidding? I see plenty of articles about Hillary. If Trump hadn't been so busy this whole time insulting people he could have put out some advertisements. He could have spoken like a serious candidate. He chose to be the entertainer. And the entertainer is what bit him in the butt. All of those interviews where he has to be the "alpha wolf pervert". He failed to realize that it isn't WWF. While I am sure that all of the WWF fans are supporting Trump not everyone is buying a ticket to locker room talk.

@sinkspur
Trump was absolutely right when he said he could shoot someone and his supporters wouldn't desert him. I now believe it without a doubt. Murder, you say? "But Hillary!"

People buy Omaha steaks from catalogs- I hear they are good. However, I can tell you the buffet at the Trump Taj Mahal made me sick years ago when I attended a conference there.
