Trump: 'We should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump'

[Nithavela]

Donald Trump, who often claims the election is rigged, had an interesting idea Thursday.

"I'm just thinking to myself right now: We should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump," he said during a rally in downtown Toledo, Ohio.

The crowd of several thousand at the Sea Gate Convention Center cheered their approval.

Trump's brainstorm came as he ran through the differences in the policy agendas that he and Hillary Clinton are proposing for the first 100 days of their administrations. With such opposite approaches for the country, he reasoned, he should be the favorite.

Polls show Trump trailing Clinton in the must-win Buckeye State. But in Trump's view, he is ahead and "winning big."

Well, in the unlikely event that he does get in, I'm sure he can make this happen in future elections

Polls are done by the Lügenpresse. And the election is rigged. Trump should be put in place as Leader (how about using that term in its original German?) by public acclamation of free white arms-bearing citizen!

He could also just resign two days in, but neither of those things would really happen.

Well, considering 1000s have already voted this would be pointless.

"Trump is literally Hitler you guys!" hasn't worked for the last year or so; I'm not sure why you think it'd be any different now.

I don't for a second believe he really meant that in a bad way, but geeze does this guy need a filter between brain and mouth. It's a sound bite his rivals can use over and over again and play up the idea that he's a dictator in waiting.

How can he be literally Hitler; unless Hitler has come back from the grave.

That's part of the joke.

You should really not compare him with Hitler. Hitler made a point out of being democratically elected.

I am not really good with jokes lol

Which Trump is in the process of attempting to do. Or do you think he was totally serious about how he should just be handed power?

That's really the story of the election. The man doesn't seem to really consider how the things he says will or could be perceived. He reminds me of this friend I used to have, who was constantly getting himself into trouble because he kept on saying the first thing that came to his mind, without ever taking into account what effect it might have or how people would take it.

Well, Hitler's party did get people to go "monitor" the polls which basically equated to people being intimidated to vote for Hitler. It wasn't exactly a fair election. I'm just glad nothing like that is being done this year.

Well, while he could benefit from a "filter", but he is honest and frankly one thing I like about him is he does NOT care about being politcally correct.

At this point, who can tell if Trump ever is serious?

His surrogates surely can't.

It's not about being politically correct to not run around spouting off stupid, offensive things. I seem to remember a time when manners were something taught and respected not dismissed with "politically correct".

The way I see it the right to be offenstive carries with it the risk of being offended.

I apologize. I should have said "in the original Italian" instead.

A good trait for a comedian.

Not so much for a President.

Also, him being 'honest' is extremely debatable.
