Republican Donald Trump has found a handy way to overcome his low poll numbers and his suspicion that the election may be rigged: Just cancel the whole thing and get on with his coronation — er, inauguration, already.
Speaking at a rally in Ohio on Thursday evening, Trump was meditating on the differences between himself and rival Hillary Clinton when he made his proposal. "Just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump," he said. "What are we having [the election] for?" he added. "Her policies are so bad! Boy, do we have a big difference."
