It is almost a foregone conclusion that Trump will lose and by now the only unknown is by how much he will lose.
Nonetheless, Trump's latest spewing that the election is "rigged" and that the U.S. has fallen to the equivalent of a banana-republic electoral system, is worrisome not only for us but for the rest of the democratic world who look upon us as a paragon of fairness and civility in the transference of power.
What Ryan, McConnell and Preibus need to do soon, is to openly and strongly repudiate Trump's unwise rhetoric about our electoral system. This goes beyond partisanship and hurt feelings, and the preservation of our ethics is much more important than the thin-skin of the charlatan Trump confronted with the repudiation that he should have experienced many times before.
He is right that we have become a banana republic because this IS what elections look like in third world countries and dictatorships disguised as democracies. And he helped us mightily into getting there.
