The alarm bells rang this weekend. The media reported that Trump is dangerous because he’s questioning the election results before votes have even been cast — calling it a rigged election. The media says this could freeze a Hillary Clinton presidency for four years.

But, uh, hasn’t this happened before? Remember the first George W. Bush election? We lived through it.

The revolution has already been televised

Trump does seem to be setting up the situation where he can claim that he lost the race because of a rigged election. 

Now, I don’t think there is going to be fixing of the voting machines. And Trump will have to provide hard evidence to make the charges stick. 

But the fact is — we can’t say we have secure elections any more. Arizona tried to verify that the people voting in their elections were legally able to vote but was inundated with lawsuits and complications. They just wanted to make sure the people that were voting were actually citizens.

People are furious that their own government won’t close holes in the voting process. And we certainly don’t want our own government encouraging non-citizens to vote.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.

TOPEKA, Kan.
