But to me, the scariest part of this article is the following:

"In a podcast last week, long-time Trump advisor Roger Stone said that if the election results in November don't match opinion polls, the Republican nominee should challenge the validity of the election and warned that the unrest could end in a "bloodbath"

A bloodbath? I don't want to go all Godwin over this, but if the shoe fits.....................

Article is here.
 
Trump does have a flare for the dramatic. But there will be no blood bath.
 

He also undermines common decency, civility, respect for others, personal control, and acts like the 9 year old psychotic childish little prick that he truly is - **** him.
 

There's a difference between making a mockery and undermining. He's doing the former, and at times also pointing out examples of others doing the same. It's the democratic process that has put him where he is, unlike Hillary. So, no. He's just making a mockery of the process, not undermining it - that's what the DNC did with Bernie and Hillary.
 
Trump is taking a page from the Islamic Terrorist Handbook: The US is corrupt and not really a democracy!!11!!

What's next, Truthin'?
 
Is anyone gullible enough to believe that our election system isn't rigged?

Everybody knows.
 
Oh, please. Undermining democracy... lol!

What you list is what he's undermined, not the democratic process since that's what's gotten where he is. His statement about the potential future is an example of what you list, rather than anything to do with the actual democratic process, but it is only potentially valid in the minds of people that don't know better because of what the Democrats were able to do to Bernie.

Basically, what I mean is - you nailed it, undermining democracy is not what he's actually doing, it's the things in your list that he's doing.
 

Trump should play the Al Gore card and demand a recount of only a few districts where he won heavily in a swing state (or two).
 
No. I think he's highlighting the MSM's heavy hand in undermining and controlling US democracy.
 
Isn't that kinda like saying he's gonna pull a Gore?
 
heres the original interview with roger stone.

A bloodbath? How dramatic. How ominous.

It's like the moron is desperate for a death-dealing bloodbath of a riot - all over him.

What an arrogant piece of **** he is (with all due respect to POS here, who is a really good egg).

He definitely wants that. Nothing would make that arrogant fool happier than watching this country be torn apart by his devoted moonbats.

You liked it so much you posted it twice!

That's huuuuge.
 
They are prepping for the loss, with the mantra's "We were Robbed" The election was rigged".
 

In other words "we better win or we will tear the country apart."

I wonder how many Americans will be intimidated by this? A lot I suspect.

Islamists do not care for democracy and know nothing about it.

They claim US democracy is a fraud, just like Trump. He's campaigning on ISIS talking points.

I would like to see a source with a quote before I believe that. They just want us dead.
 

He hasn't questioned the legitimacy of the electoral process. He has questioned whether two parties with virtually unlimited control over the electoral process have undermined the democratic process.

There is a distinct possibility that the GOP will never recover from this fiasco and that the Democrats will be the only viable party left. Since their platform is essentially one of soft socialism that leads to the likelihood that Federalism will be replaced with Nationalism. When you combine Socialism with Nationalism you end up with the Soviet Union or Cuba.
