Absolutely not. Accusations like these undermine our democracy in the most serious way.

The general election, no.....the nomination process was though.

How so? The rules were established far ahead of time. If anything, the caucus system made the process run a lot longer than it would have otherwise. If a pure primary system was in place in 2008, Hillary would have been elected President then.

     No, unless we mean to say it in the sense that Trump's clownishness has eliminated what would have been an excellent chance for the Republican Party to win the Presidency.

No, not because I think Hillary is above that sort of thing, but because there's no reason to.

While no actual ballots were forged, there is something wrong with the fact that over 400 politicians were allowed to endorse Hillary before a single primary ballot was cast. An event like that makes it seem reflexively disrespectful and out-of-touch with society to vote for anyone else.

Kinda cause the media essentially didnt reveal any of the damaging intel on Trump in the primaries and gave him billions in free ads, and since Trump is the nominee Clinton is going to win for sure.

Obviously the nomination wasn't "rigged" in the sense of a despotic third world election, but it's not like it was a particularly "free and fair" one either. The morons who claim the nomination was "stolen" (including the Green Party) are complete idiots to be sure (and kind of miss the point that Bernie Sanders was never anymore entitled to the nomination than Hillary was), but you can't call the primary process a perfect exercise in democracy either. Of course the same is also true of the Republicans most years (and was in 2012 quite clearly), so it's not like either side really has the moral high ground here. Well...no, the Democrats had a pretty fair primary in 2008 and nominated Barack Obama. The Republicans had a pretty fair primary this year and nominated Donald Trump...so yeah I'd say one side does have the moral high ground.

Voter polling intimidation (like what happened in The South for a long time) that could happen to bits of her base from trump supporters. And some of the ID laws still hanging around.

And the final debate is by a Fox News host, they'll still probably be an expectations for Benghazi stuff.

Ultimately I shrug off either of those factors really counting much, since Hillary does have a way of plowing through, and trump keeps sinking lower lower.

Nonetheless, both seem far more compelling than anything to support rigging for Hillary.

Definitely not the general, and mostly not the primary though admittedly the primary wasn't completely fair and free.

I'd only venture say it's rigged due to the the overwhelmingly negative media attention that is afforded to Trump. Not that it isn't warranted, but it is still heavily biased.

No (sane). There is no proof for this nonsense. That we have major party nominee who is suggesting that elections are rigged in America is a national disgrace. A terrible disgrace.

And when Mr. Drumpf complains about the media; he should ask himself why almost no newspaper is endorsing him. And why are such ones as The Atlantic, that seldom endorse, support his opponent. But he’s unable to think about that and make common-sense conclusions, because bad things are always the fault of others. Never his own responsibility. He’s always the victim. Laughable. This candidate is not an adult.

Yes, and only fair and balancing act from the hackers can make it honest again.

But no.
