8:52Now PlayingNow that Donald Trump’s presidential chances are dwindling (and he’s a massive baby), he’s rolling out the excuses. He proclaims everything is rigged folks, but we’re going to win anyway (This is some pretty lousy rigging if you can still win anyway). Michael Shure, Brett Erlich, and Thor Benson, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“In modern times, no candidate for president has questioned the election's integrity more consistently and flagrantly than Trump. According to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll, conducted among 1,999 registered voters in the week after the second presidential debate, 73 percent of Republican voters now worry that their votes will not be counted.
That's not all due to Trump. The idea that Democrats and their allies are rigging elections, either through control of machines in Democratic cities or through mass voter impersonation, is a mainstay of conservative politics — one that has powered legislation that is making it harder for some voters in Republican-controlled states such as Wisconsin to register this year. (ACORN ceased to exist after a conservative video sting recorded some of its staffers entertaining questions on how to get tax credits for prostitution, and a Democratic-controlled Congress ended its federal funding.)
Trump's role in furthering the doubts has drawn condemnation from the media, and calls for Republicans to stand up to him. "Conservative journalists have to play a role here, and conservative commentators, too,"said CNN's Brian Stelter in a monologue Monday morning.”*
