Trump-
"this election is rigged".
He may very well have right.
There's nothing rigged about it. It's simply a system where everyone gets an equal say regardless of their knowledge or expertise.
That's a recipe for things sometimes going off the rails. Can you imagine how long your workplace would last if it was run with such a system?
In the past the check against this was that typically the people w/o knowledge or expertise would pay some attention to those that do. But now they're being told that the people with that knowledge and expertise are all enablers of a corrupt system whose knowledge can and should be considered suspect if not outright lies.
How else can you explain a candidate who routinely utters not just half-truths but out-and-out lies (and even doubles down on them when they are exposed as such) winning by a landslide?

so canadians how would you react if kevin o'leary became PM? thats howhalf of americans feel right now. amazing
A week or so ago I jokingly said the first party to turf their own candidate would win by a landslide... the Republicans took away Trump's twitter which was, I guess, close enough.

They're smoking crack. Sanders did well in the primaries for the same reason that Trump did well in the general, which was because he was running against Clinton's unfavorables.
Trump won because his supporters basically didn't give a flying F about Trump's unfavorables, and they came out and voted. ( It turns out that he was clearly correct in his boast that he could shoot somebody on 5th Ave. and not lose any support.)
They would have came out and voted against Sanders as well. Sanders would have run against Trump's unfavorables and suffered the same fate.
