Hillary Clinton took on Donald Trump’s rigged election fears during Wednesday’s presidential debate, pointing out that this has been a common defense of Trump’s for years when things haven’t gone his way and arguing that he cannot take responsibility for himself.
After Trump said that he’d wait and see the results of the election before committing to accepting the result, Clinton pointed out that this is not the first time Trump has cried foul.
“This is horrifying. Every time Donald thinks things aren’t going in his direction, he claims everything is rigged against him,” Clinton said. “The FBI conducted a yearlong investigation into my emails. They found nothing. He said it was rigged. He said the Republican primary was rigged against him. He claims the court system and the federal judge is rigged against him. There was even a time when he didn’t get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged against him.”
“Should have gotten it,” Trump interrupted.
Clinton categorized this pattern of behavior as an inherent trait of Trump’s before arguing that he’s talking about breaking the tradition of a peaceful transition of power in the United States.
“This is a mind-set. This is how Donald thinks, and it’s funny, but it’s also really troubling,” she said. “That is not the way our democracy works. We’ve been around for 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections. We’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them, and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election.”
Watch below:
That was pretty good. She essentially called him a “whiny little bitch.”
A thing of beauty.
by the way, he b— when he was first runner up to Merkel for Time’s person of the year.
Everything that flies out of his mouth seems to be a direct reflection of the fetid shriveled narcissistic cesspit of insecurity that he uses for a soul, but this . . . Saying this, under these circumstances at this time . . . at the very time she was excoriating him as a small-minded, grudge driven WATB . . .
Just . . I just can’t . . .
WAKE UP! C’MON STEVE, WAKE UP! JUST A BAD DREAM, SO WAKE UP!
So in essence for Trump’s whole life he hasn’t played by the rules, he hasn’t stood by his word, his handshake is worth nothing, and I can’t believe that some people in our country consider him worthy=deserving effort, attention, or respect of the highest office in our country. I don’t think there is enough mental health professionals to take care of the mental breakdown that is going to happen in 11/09/16.
