Trump laying the groundwork to accuse Democrats of stealing election in November.

All the polls predict a Blue Wave. But Trump keeps talking about a Red Wave.

Why?

The explanation is easy: He's hyping the idea that there will be Red Wave, so the Trumpers will expect one. Then, when there is no Red Wave, he will cry voter-fraud and how the liberals and illegal immigrants and MS-13 stole the election for the Democrats.

Trump will use his own empty hype of the Red Wave as evidence that the electoral victories of Democrats don't count.

After November 2018, Trump will go straight back to raging about how millions of people voted illegally.

HE has done this over and over again, set the narrative the red wave is the truth so when it doesn't happen he'll claim the Dems rigged it for his supporters to again see him as the victim, when in reality he's involved in others rigging it again for him. He plays both sides always framing it as corruption , or more make believe excuses for him to blame anyone but himself, again. Con artists do this. Or is it a red wave from putin helping him win it, again, and this is him bragging so he can then claim, I told you, believe me.

I would love to see rage tweets about us stealing an election. It would mean we kicked ass.

Limbaugh knows how stupid they are -- making $25M a year brainwashing them for decades. Such big money in RW brainwashing.

He will make ridiculous lies and people will treat these ridiculous lies as if the topic is really up for debate.
