Donald Trump claimed recently that if Hillary wins the election it’s because it’s rigged. Considering what’s been happening since then I can’t help but wonder if he’s right–and he’s in on it. Some people have been saying this for months, and I’m starting to believe they were on to something.
We already know that Hillary had her good friend Debbie Wasserman-Shultz rig the Democratic primary so that Hillary would defeat Bernie Sanders. But what if that was just the beginning? What if Trump’s plan all along was to say what he needed to say to get himself the Republican nomination and then self-destruct to the point that even if they would never vote for Hillary, Republican voters would not be able to bring themselves to vote for Trump, thus handing Hillary the win?
It’s probably far fetched, but let’s face it: if it were true, what would Trump be doing differently? Practically every day he says some new, indefensible thing. He’s losing support left and right, and Hillary is pulling ahead in the polls. The media continually ignores her lies (she continues to claim that the FBI chief exonerated her on the email scandal) and pounces on everything Trump says.
American politics is an odd duck, to be sure, but it’s really hard to believe that Trump’s growing number of unforced errors are accidental. Didn’t he promise he’d act more “presidential” after he got the nomination? I’m not seeing it. I suppose this could be some crazy-like-a-fox scheme to get Hillary’s campaign to not take him seriously, only to pivot and show a competent, presidential side closer to the election, but I doubt he has it in him.
I’m beginning to think he hid the truth in plain sight and let us all know up front that we’ve been had. He’s probably been in Hillary’s pocket all along.
I won’t be voting for either one of them. But heaven help us, I have no idea who to vote for. There’s no one who represents even a majority of my views.
