Was Trumps victory a illegal victory ?

He was right, just look at the popular vote numbers for Hillary, unfortunately it wasn't wide spread enough in enough states to pull it off. You actually have Obama to thank for that. Once the multiple states that have had some issues with their electronic voting in the last two elections/ Announced they would be putting security and monitoring in place to ensure it wouldn't happen this time. Obama and the feds said no you don't, this is a federal thing, and they set up the security and monitoring in places like Ohio. Guess what, there are a whole less incidents of things going hinky this time around and you know what else, Trump pulled out a whole lot of surprise victories.

Your premise is correct but your reasoning is inverted.

Trump won BECAUSE the system was rigged FOR Hillary.

1) Hillary Clinton got the nomination because she started the primary with a 15% delegate advantage (Super-delegates were mostly hers from the beginning.) Bernie Sanders would have won in a "fair" primary that wasn't weighted with Super-delegates that Clinton was promised by the DNC.

2) All polling was skewed by establishment media outlets. Even the RCP rolling average, which has been accurate for the last 20 years GOT IT WRONG. Consequently Hillary's campaign was working on bad information.

3) The media and establishment sources from BOTH parties ignored the "Every man" voter. People that remembered the original Clinton presidency were also ignored. (Did you NOT notice how many more elderly people were at the polls this cycle -- they also knew Obamacare was going to cost them hugely in premiums.)

4) Delusional thinking that Hillary could get by on "star power" of Obama. But that only linked her to a failed presidency. (They had paid and planned a huge celebration a MONTH before the election -- that act of hubris was leaked along with e-mails and investigations all had a cumulative effect on the psyche by stoking outright rebellion against the establishment mindset).

Trump would have lost to anyone in a general campaign EXCEPT Hillary Clinton. So thank goodness it was rigged for Hillary.

As an individual you can never know if a given election is rigged. You have to trust that every precinct (or at least most) had election volunteers that ran things fairly.

You do realize the 1960 election was rigged right? Nixon should have won Illinois, but we Dems cheated big time, especially in Chicago, and gave Illinois to Kennedy. Nixon should have challenged this in court, but chose not to.

Also, in 1828, John Quincy Adams cheated Andrew Jackson out of being POTUS. Jackson won the popular vote AND teh electoral vote, but did not win 51% of the electoral vote. So the House picked 2nd place Adams.

Get off it. There was no illegal voting, there was no illegal victory. You can't accept that so many people were dumb enough to vote for him, but you haven't realized yet that Yes, they are. Take a trip around the country and talk to people. You will be disabused of the notion that people aren't this stupid very quickly.

Pittsburgh news stations were reporting 2 local counties experiencing voter machine malfunctions. Republican votes were being switched to dem.

There is a chance that Trump could have gotten the popular vote as well if there was no rigging

Yawn: Its funny how up until 10pm on election night the liberal media was talking about how Trump supporters will not accept Clinton as President , fast forward 24 hours latter , look who refuses to accept the results?

We don't. Let's open a country-wide investigation, honestly look into voter fraud, and DO SOMETHING about stopping it where we find it.

But, be careful what you wish for. You might just find that the vast majority of cheating is done by the Democrats.

Gee, could that be why Democrats are constantly AGAINST any sort of investigation and reformation of the system while the Republicans want it?

He won because the electoral votes pushed him over. Originally, Hillary would have been president if it wasn't for the electoral college. Almost very election is rigged. Hillary rigged the primaries so she would be a presidential candidate instead of Bernie Sanders. The entire 2016 election was a joke.

It's only because he claimed it was rigged. That the amazing heroes who saved the election had time to step in and end the rigging.
