At this point, Hills would pretty much have to start shouting "N i g g e r" during one of the debates to lose. Anything less would be glossed over by the media.
She's going to win, which is a shame. I was hoping for some good Trump TV in the oval office.

Donald Trump has continued an unprecedented effort by a major presidential candidate to effectively declare the presidential election invalid before voters have even had their say.

On Monday, just over three weeks before election day, the Republican nominee repeated his unsupported claim that voter fraud was rampant and specifically stated in a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin that ballots cast by illegal immigrants led to Barack Obama’s victory in North Carolina in 2008. “People who died 10 years ago are still voting,” he claimed.

Trump’s Wisconsin appearance came after a series of provocative tweetsculminating on Monday morning when he wrote: “Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!” Never before has a major presidential candidate in effect rejected the results before the election has been held.

There's little to no evidence to substantiate any of this. Its just his way of setting everything on fire when he loses. What a prat.

I could post some vids from Sargon on why Hillary losing to Trump would be a good thing, but only if you guys want - otherwise, search YT for them.

In the two weeks since a hot-mic recording of Donald Trump sent the his campaign careening—plummeted in the polls as an avalanche of sexual assault allegations rained down upon him—the Republican nominee has tripled down on his cataclysmic caterwauling that the polls, media, and even the entire electoral system are “rigged” against him.
For months, the Trump campaign has stoked fears that on Election Day, the democratic process will be anything but democratic. Following the latest batch of polls showing the G.O.P. nominee trailing Hillary Clinton nationwide and in multiple critical swing states, Trump lashed out with intensified vitriol. “The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary—but also at many polling places—SAD,” he tweeted Sunday. Trump’s campaign surrogates have toed the same line in the press. “You want me to [say] that I think the election in Philadelphia and Chicago is going to be fair? I would have to be a moron to say that,” former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani told CNN’s Jake Tapperduring an interview that same day. Newt Gingrich told ABC’s This Week that the Republican nominee would be winning if it weren’t for the media. “I think that without the unending one-sided assault of the news media, Trump would be beating Hillary by 15 points,” he said, adding that it is “amazing that Trump is as close as he is right now.”
Not all Republican leaders are playing along. A number have rebuked Trump’s “rigged” election claims, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has come under fire from Trump after distancing himself from the nominee in the wake of his hot-mic scandal. “Our democracy relies on confidence in election results, and the speaker is fully confident that the states will carry out this election with integrity,” AshLee Strong, a spokesperson for Ryan, said in a statement Saturday. Even Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence said that the Republican ticket will “absolutely accept the results of the election,” CNN reports.
But notwithstanding Pence’s protestations, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the U.S. election is now a cornerstone of Trump’s strategy. “Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!” he wrote on Twitter. But this strategy has nothing to do with winning the election on November 8, and everything to do with saving face on November 9. More important, Trump is laying the groundwork for his comeback plan in the months that follow—potentially a conservative cable network of his own. As Vanity Fair’sSarah Ellison reported in June, the real-estate mogul was weighing the possibility of launching a “mini-media conglomerate” if (or when) the election didn’t go his way. On Monday, the Financial Times reported that Trump’s son-in-law turned campaign adviser Jared Kushner has been in talks with TV dealmaker Aryeh Bourkoff about the launch of Trump TV. If score-settling and grievance-making is to be the basis of the network, then it would only make sense for Trump to begin sowing the seeds of discord now.
The idea is far from Trump’s worst for a business venture. Despite the shiny outlook for a Clinton presidency, on Election Day a sizable portion of American voters will still cast their votes for Trump. And after months of their candidate spewing divisive rhetoric and denouncing the media as biased, many will find it impossible to return to the mainstream news sources they feel have betrayed them. According to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll, 41 percent of voters think that the election could be “stolen” from Trump in three weeks time due to voter fraud. Many Americans might see a Trump-founded TV network as a panacea to this alleged “media bias.”

this actually makes a lot of sense for when he loses to posture his new tv venture as the bastion against "media bias"
