Donald Trump seemed to embrace the election process Wednesday, after repeatedly expressing alarm on the campaign trail in recent weeks that it would be “rigged” against him.
Here’s the relevant passage from the Associated Press:
Whether Trump was referring to his “love” of debating or the campaign itself, he has raised concerns that both would be tilted against him. He suggested two weeks ago that the first debate should scrap having a moderator, “because I think the system is being rigged, so it’s gonna be a very unfair debate.” Trump said in early August he was “afraid the election’s gonna be rigged. … I think my side was rigged,” a suggestion his running mate Mike Pence has tried to smooth over with supporters on the trail.
His campaign website posted an election observer registration page last month, inviting volunteers to “help me stop Crooked Hillary from rigging this election.”
