We keep hearing from Donald Trump that the “election is rigged,” and that the polls are wrong. Of course, when the polls favored him, that’s all he talked about. He attacks the media for reporting his own words. The truth is that the media supports Trump by holding Hillary to a much higher standard than the failed businessman.
Evidence proves that it is Trump who is attempting to rig the election. He is encouraging his supporters to take action which is illegal, with the intent of intimidating several groups of likely voters.
On Thursday morning, Bloomberg News quoted a senior campaign official from “inside the Trump bunker” as saying, “We have three major voter suppression operations under way” to discourage voting among three Democratic-leaning groups: “white liberals,” young women and African-Americans.
There is only one word to describe this; desperation. By all reputable accounts, Trump will suffer the greatest loss in modern history. The polls cannot be trusted this close to the election. They become far more biased as groups favoring one candidate or the other attempt to influence voters.
Here’s the truth; the only statistic that matters is the number of votes received from the Electoral College. Latest estimates reveal that Hillary has “locked-up” 252 of the necessary 270 votes. Trump has 126. Some experts contend that at the end of election day, November 8th, Hillary will receive as many as 388. It is becoming more obvious every day that support for Hillary is growing, and an additional number of anti-Trump votes are planning to vote for the Democratic candidate.
Throughout his campaign, he has labeled Hillary with multiple falsehoods. Many of his accusations can be applied to himself. He is a criminal; bribing elected officials, illegally importing models to work in his agency, stealing from his own “foundation,” and operating a fraudulent “university,” Now he claims that the election is rigged in her favor. The facts prove the opposite; Trump cannot win if the election is conducted in a fair manner.
Let’s give the American people the knowledge they must have to vote wisely. Offer the truth, and insure that this election is awarded to the one person who deserves it. Thank you, and please re-post.
