In what way is the election rigged?

Rojo, "liberals" are going to discount most of what you say when you start off a post using it as a pejorative term.

How exactly was Rojo's use of liberals pejorative? It wasn't. How else should he reference them?

You're most likely oversensitive from your strong emotional and irrational bias.

Trump's strategy has worked. Conservatives, in this thread, have mentioned nothing but conspiracy theories and Rush Limbaugh, a man that doesn't believe in simple science. That's exactly what trump wants. Avoid real issues..

Bottom line:

Hillary Clinton, who has never held a real job in her life, makes a quarter million dollars in an hour to give inside information to international bankers about how she wants to put american coal miners out of work.

It boggles my mind how people can support her.

I hate you on most every other thread but I agree with you 100% here.

she has had a lot of jobs, incl the private sector

she gave no inside information

she doesn't want to put coal miners out of work - she wants to figure out jobs for them as their industry shrinks due to market forces.

other than that man, you nailed it. bam! you so smart.

I have a friend who lives in Dublin, Ohio...Years ago he went in to vote and his saw that his parent had already voted. They had been dead for years. When he brought it to the attention of the pool worker they just closed the book so he couldn't see it... Years later they were removed for the voter list

finally - I'm not sure where you are cutting and pasting all those cites from...are they from NPR? Because NPR makes it clear that they aren't just factchecking - they are adding context.

So if those are from NPR you are mixing apples and oranges...context and factchecking. Very different.

You keep moving the goal posts. First, it was "show me where they didn't fact check Hillary." Then it was "Show me where Hillary lied and they let it slide." Now it's "Well, this isn't even a fact check." Come on, man.

First, Hillary's "not a penny added to the debt" claim is indeed a lie. If politifact missed it, then perhaps they just missed it. But as I showed you in another article, she is omitting her spending proposals in that statement, and those spending proposals tip the national debt significantly against GDP.

Second, regardless of the method NPR is conducting their fact check, and please notice they have titled it as such, please explain to me how constructing straw man arguments against one candidate is unbiased. The Ford fact check I showed you is a prime example. Trump's statement was correct. But NPR introduced a straw man that undermined Trump's argument and made it look like he was lying.

If it was one instance, I could look past it. But they did it 21 times. All against Trump. How can you say this isn't biased?

Limbaugh explaining Trump is like blind explaining naked. You could be committed....and your sentence is to be roommates with Jamin for eternity.

Dude, stay away from political commentary and stick to the safe haven of running.

It seems that CNN gives Hillary deter debate questions ahead of time... Some might reasonably call that "rigged".

The moderators are not supposed to get the questions before the debate.

Trump seemed to know some of the questions based on some of his canned responses.

Knowing some of the questions is not changing anything. It is absolutely not rigging because voters for the most part had already made up their minds.

If you want to talk about rigging: Trump supporters are the ones being arrested for voting twice.

If anything the FBI is trying to rig the election for Trump.

It's not and it can't be - the amount of collusion, bribery and extortion would have to be so massive it's a statistical impossibility.

Not good logic, and it doesn't work against Hillary either. There are obvious questions that you prepare for, and when they come up, BOOM you hit them with your prepared response.

When I go into a job interview, I have a prepared answer for every common interview question. I'm not left looking at the floor going "Um...." at any point. I would expect even better prep from a presidential candidate. And there are some questions that are so obvious, how can you not have a canned answer ready to go?

So considering that, if either candidate is leaked the questions ahead of time, it shouldn't make a difference. It's still dishonest, still sleazy, but it shouldn't affect the debate.

Didn't Florida come down to like 2,000 votes in 2000? If you get the right number of buses in the right districts, that would certainly matter.

However real actual voter fraud may be, though, "rigged" almost certainly refers to media bias. Watch the debates: the last moderator was probably 60-40 easier on Trump... the first two were easily 80-20 easier on Clinton. Name one time that an outlet besides Fox News has actually criticized Hillary on policy. Look up the amount of minutes the various networks have spent covering Trump's snafus vs. Hillary's. It isn't even CLOSE.

For the record, the whole SYSTEM is rigged, not against Republicans, but against us, by way of the two-party system. So, don't take my comments as whining; we have much bigger problems.

There is no possible way bussing in voters is real thing - it never could happen.

Not rigged now that Trump is winning.

Winning where?

The media bias argument is crazy to me. What about Fox, Rush, InfoWars and all the other conservative media?.

Conservatives listen to those outlets. We're talking about the average supposedly non-partisan outlet like ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.

And imagine what it was like before those things were invented.

Infowars? I thought nobody took them seriously. That Savage guy is like them, but a bit more sane. I rarely watch Fox or listen to Rush, either. I am a conservative who reads internet sources from both the leftwing nutjobs and normal people to figure out the whole story without going to any of those sources. Going there could make one suffer from depression.
