"Heck's Coming With Me"

Location: Kansas | Mighty Broke - 2016-10-27 3:00 PM star1218 - 2016-10-27 2:21 PM I am not nearly as informed as many of you seem to be regarding political stuff. I certainly don't seek out news outlets that will feed me the "news" i want to see on any given candidate. What I have noticed in just day to day media outlets is a BLATANT preference to Hillary. For example. Good Morning America - on while I get ready for work - George Stephanopolis (sp) seems to dispise Trump. Maybe he does and that's fine -but in his line of work - he should be completely fair and unbiased. Shouldn't he? Just an impression I've been given over this campaign.
Afternoon news on the radio, same thing.
various news artilcles in various newspapers, same thing. It scares me as someone who isn't deep into politics (As in out looking for it!) and yet see such a one sided lean!!
You may be younger and not realize that George's fame came directly from the Clintons. He was part of The War Room that got Bill Clinton elected---him, James Carville and Wilhelm. Then after election he was one of Bills head advisors.
I saw this too this morning. George S. was very rude and dodged any subjects of importance. He asked Trump if he had any regrets. Trump said: "Sure I have regrets just like you probably regret donating $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation." Good one Donald.
Trump's very polite and intelligent campaign manager was on the Today Show the other day. They treated her shamefully. |

There were no news stories in Ohio (newspaper or TV stations) that posted anything about 3 MILLION Amish converging on Columbus, Ohio today. Additionally, the two web sites posting this story (by the same author) end in .co and .de which tells me that they are not legit sites..... I could be wrong but ....... The article I read was from the CNN website. They said that usually 300 Amish attend but they were encouraging as many as possible. The 3 million figure I believe was how many Amish could be eligible to vote, NOT who attended the meeting in Ohio. I was surprised to see this on a CNN site. With the advent of the internet I don't know WHAT I can count on as fact. The really sucks. It can be a great tool to get the facts out, especially when being covered up or neglected but it is also a huge source of misinformation. To Finney....another hit and run. While your comedian source is correct on the point that the news is slanted depending on who is reporting and polls are slanted in favor who is paying for it is a given. But at least I am smart enough to recognize that fact and liberals represent themselves as the ONLY source of the truth...they NEVER bend the facts........now would you like to buy a bridge? |

| i live in an Amish community and was shown a letter sent out to the bishops to tell there congregation not to vote for Donald trump,it also didn't mention Hillary at all, what the letter stated was the fact that Donald had been married three times and five children by different mothers and that Mrs. Trump had posed for nude pictures and posed with other women and that they thought she would be a bad role model for there children. I also had heard that in Ohio they would be voting also. I also assumed they would be pro trump. Where I live the bishop decides how the congregation conducts everyday life. Not bashing trump just passing on what I seen. I found it interesting, I think Trump has a good chance people in Ohio penn Detroit are mad and want a change, it will be an interesting election. IMHO Amish community's around here won't vote for either. |

PA angers me. ALL I see EVERYWHERE are Trump signs. His rallys here are FILLED!!! Overflowing...people lined up outside and down the street. I have yet to see 1 Clinton sign. Yet, this morning on the news, they said she has a 46% to 39% advantage in PA in the polls. I don't see it!!! But...it doesn't surprise me...Pittsburgh and Philadelphia control the state as far as elections..and they always vote democrate. Always. |

Location: Ky | There is a possibly that Trump wins this election. Since the Trumpers say the election is rigged, will it still be rigged if Trump wins?
Will Trump accept the Presidency that he got from a rigged election?
Or, is it only rigged if Clinton wins?
Oh, the mystery!!

I sure would be questioning the election system too after the democrats did rig it to give her the win over Bernie! There are other presidential elections where the question arrises if it wasn't rigged. |

LOL....I have asked this question MANY times.....but all I got was "chirp....chirp....chirp" .......
I don't think people really realize how many MILLIONS of votes would have to be cast in NUMEROUS states to actually rig an election....perhaps on a local or county level where a few votes swing an election it "might" work but not in a national election. |

When I think of the possibility of this being "rigged" I don't think in terms of voters casting votes to swing an election I think of a pre determined winner despite votes. Am I firmly on the side of things being rigged? No, not today but this site has really opened my eyes to the way things sure might be.

I asked this same question at an insurance forum and they said, no, it's not rigged if Trump wins. It is rigged if Clinton wins.
At least they are honest in their misguided conspiracy theory.
I have friends that have so much hope in a Trump presidency. I hate it for them if Trump wins and they find out there is no change. They will be devastated. But, they will be devastated with a Clinton win too. |

It is rigged because like Trump says, she should be in prison, not running for president!! |

Why should we not be paranoid?

I hope people will do some serious research on what it would take to "rig" a national election. |

They DO have a right to question the outcome, just like they did in Florida. I'll be completely fair about that, as long as there is a legitimate reason to question the results. I just have no faith in politicians doing the policing....ANY of them. |

Share your research with us. You want research, I'll give you some research to chew on, but show me yours.
Bottom line: yes, in all probability past elections have been rigged. |

Sooooo....you still didn't answer his question....is it STILL "rigged" IF Trump wins? Are you SURE that Republicans don't know how to skew the vote or cheat ???? |

| Not to mention, the politicians have tried to "rig" this election from the beginning. Remember the first debate where they demonized Trump for not immediately pledging his support to the winning candidate after all the other lying phonies said that THEY would? Where is that support now? I GOP would help "rigging" this particular election, so I'm not just not distrusting the DEMs by any means.
Yes I admit that there is a possibility of disappointment if he wins. I personally struggle with "is he who he say he is' and IF he is, how much undermining he will get from both parties.
But that being said, I am CERTIAN that Hillary will just accelerate the slide to Socialism and continue to destroy this country from within. The BIGGEST thing that Trump has going for him is that he is NOT a CAREER politician in my book. I might rather have someone else to vote for from that category (think Carson, Cain or even, gasp, Palin) but he is who we have and I'd vote for him over any of the guys the Republican Party WANTED us to vote for. |
