Republican candidate Donald Trump on Sunday said that the presidential race was being "rigged" against him at voting locations, questioning the Nov. 8 election's fairness just hours after his running mate Mike Pence said they would accept the outcome.

"The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary - but also at many polling places - SAD," Trump wrote on Twitter, referring to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

 

Come on guys let's get your act together.

A new poll taken after Trump's completely false claims that the vote was rigged shows that only 1/3d of those describing themselves as Republicans believes the election will actually be fair and express the true will of the people.  If Donald Trump can convince enough people that our voting system (remember every election is state supervised, not federal, and most of the states are run by Republicans) does not reflect the will of the people this nation is potentially faced with the most dangerous existential threat since 1860!

Don't worry too much about Trump and Pence. Some disagreement is better than the "Goose Stepping Democratic Cyborgs". And there is some unity around. No Republicans broke ranks on the vote on Sir Obama's attempt to subvert the Second Amendment with the U.N. Defeated.

Would you dimokraps like to explain why dimokraps burned a Republican campaign office in North Carolina.  We are all well aware that your dimokrap ranks are loaded with thugs, criminals, illegals, and anarchists, but is this THE HILDA B.......H's plan to disrupt the election.  Apparently her handlers are in a major panic and are trying to start a war........

My concern about rhetoric is that the ears of chldren that hear demeaning things said about people will be copied and practiced.  Bullying is a problem in the USA and rhetoric about women, people that are over weight, do not meet a certain self-imposed standard of what is attractive, and who is an American, will be practiced and deemed to be acceptable.  All of these issues can then be seen to mean our mothers, wive's, daughter's, and friends.  Dangerous for the next generation of 5 to 17 year olds.

In my opinion, children are much more influenced by what they see and hear at home, than anything they hear on the news.  TV can be turned off, but the lessons that they hear at home will remain with them.  There are many people out there that want to claim they view women as equals, yet they still want to put women on a pedestal, and in my mind, that is just wrong.

Both you and Winer make some very good points.  However, your claim that many people who say they support gender equality but who actually put ''women on a pedestal'' is laughable!  For every supposed ''equal rights'' male that instead place women on a pedestal there are 20 that actually still want them in the kitchen with their hands in dishwater!!

to some extent that is what I am referring to.  The idea that women are wives, mother, sisters, daughters and need to be in the home, because they need to be protected.

Interesting.  You, a woman, thinks men want women ''in the home'' becasue they want them ''protected''...I, a man, thinks it is more likely because that want them kept ''in their place''.

Okay.  Well in the military, now that they have agreed that women could be in the combat arms, there has been a lot of concern about men feeling protective of women on the battlefield, in addition to the other issues. 

Some men want women in the home because they would prefer not to compete with women, some think that is what is says in the Bible, but for all the progress that has been made, men still tend to put women on a pedestal. Let a man perceive that a woman is in danger, or is being abused and 9 times out of 10, they want to step in, whether the woman wants them to or not.
