As Donald Trump’s poll numbers suffer in the aftermath of vulgar comments surfaced in a 2005 tape and several accusations of sexual misconduct, the Republican nominee on Sunday lashed out at House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and warned of a “rigged election.”
Trump started going after Ryan when the Speaker distanced himself from the GOP nominee after the 2005 tape in which Trump brags about groping women, and Trump has not relented on the Speaker. And he continued to complain about a lack of support from Ryan on Sunday.
The Democrats have a corrupt political machine pushing crooked Hillary Clinton. We have Paul Ryan, always fighting the Republican nominee!

Paul Ryan, a man who doesn’t know how to win (including failed run four years ago), must start focusing on the budget, military, vets etc.

Faced with the prospect of losing in November, Trump has also redoubled his warnings of a “rigged election” recently, setting himself up to blame his loss on anything or anyone but himself. On Sunday, Trump published a series of tweets telling supporters that the election has been rigged by the media and the Hillary Clinton campaign, beginning with a tweet bashing Saturday Night Live.
Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!

Polls close, but can you believe I lost large numbers of women voters based on made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Media rigging election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2016
Election is being rigged by the media, in a coordinated effort with the Clinton campaign, by putting stories that never happened into news!

The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary – but also at many polling places – SAD

Wow. Not even a passing acquaintance with reality. Clearly not on speaking terms.
Donald Trump does the sociopathic demagogue version of a “Gish Gallop”. He puts out so many nonsensical statements, lies and assertions that it is impossible to keep up. I have never seen a major candidate with less interest in maintaining even the appearance of credibility.
How about admitting you know nothing about “politics”, Donald!
Can you imagine living with this guy?
The constant whining and complaining over any slight…whether real or imagined.
Someone should have seen this - based on his easily bruised personality - and advised him not to run for president. He doesn’t have the discipline to stay on message and not get distracted. Yet KellyAnne complains that media doesn’t focus on ISSUES like healthcare or the economy. Well someone should tell Kells NEITHER IS DONALD!
I would be scared everyday if this man was president. He’s too unhinged, mentally unfit, emotionally unsuitable and prone to cray outbursts.
Just three more weeks…just three more weeks…
Burn it all down Donnie, WE won’t have to rebuild it.
