So the guy complaining about "rigged" elections wants to cancel them and declare himself the winner

And I'm sure he'll claim it was a "joke".

Because that's what democracy is to the Madman.

A joke.

God, I cannot wait until the morning he wakes up and realizes he lost the election.

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

Donald Trump suggested canceling the election Thursday and granting himself the presidency.

“What a difference. You know, what a difference this is,” Trump said during a rally in Toledo, Ohio, after comparing his tax plan with Hillary Clinton’s.

“And just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right? What are we even having it for? What are we having it for?” he asked. “Her policies are so bad. Boy, do we have a big difference.”

Twelve days from Election Day, Trump’s offhand, in-jest indication that he should be given the White House also comes as he trails Clinton nationally and in a number of key battleground states. Polls also show Clinton is challenging the GOP nominee in Republican strongholds like Arizona, Utah and Texas.
