## Transcript

I have never seen in my lifetime, or in modern political history, a presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process. Before votes have even taken place. It's unprecedented. It happens to be based on no facts every expect regardless of political party Regardless of ideology. Conservative or liberal who has ever examined these issues in a serious way will tell you that instances of voter fraud are not to be found. That Keep in mind elections are run by state and local officials, which means that there are places like Florida, for example, where you've got a Republican governor, those are Republican appointees, are going to be running and monitoring a whole bunch of these election sites, the notion that somehow It makes a trouble [ UNKNOWN ] for that because of those people that you have to watch out for, that is both irresponsible, [ BLANK_AUDIO ] and by the way they didn't really show the kind of [ BLANK_AUDIO ] leadership and toughness they will have in presence.

You start whining before the game's even over? If whenever things are going badly for you and you lose, you start blaming someone else? Then you don't have what it takes to be in this job. I'd invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.
