I do think by rigged he meant the media and people with power using money and influence to influence votes. I think he in other instances was also talking about voter fraud, which is another thing.
I think overall people latched onto what he said and twisted it in whichever way they wanted to. In the past Democrats wanted Gore to challenge the vote, and were pissed the Supreme Court shut it down. Trump says he doesn’t want to promise anything until he sees the results and the Democrats freak out. It’s stupid. When Trump didn’t want to promise he would support whichever republican became the nominee that made sense to me too. It’s a ridiculous promise if you don’t like some of the candidates.
Other hypocrisies:
Hating Trump for being a womanizer and not hating Bill Clinton and vice versa. It doesn’t matter that Bill isn’t running this time, that’s dismissing the hypocrisy.
Hating Hillary for Benghazi, but not caring about the attack in front of our Embassy during the Bush years and every of President who has had attacks on America during their administration.
Imagine if Obama had done business deals with Osama Bin Laden’s half brother before 9/11. The right would go crazy. Yet they don’t care that Bush did just that.
Imagine if 9/11 happened under a Democrat? I really think the Republucans would bring it up over and over again as the Democrats being not good at protecting the homeland.
Everyone talks about the other side and twists things at their convenience, why would politicians be any different? Including Trump.
