1. Obama dings Trump
Barack Obama replied with zip on Tuesday to a question about Donald Trump’s claims that the election is rigged against him. “I’d invite Mr Trump to stop whining, and go try to make his case to get votes,” Obama said.
'You don't have what it takes'
It doesn’t really show the leadership and toughness that you’d want out of a president. 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.

2. Rubio rejects Trump’s ‘rigged’ talk
“This election is not being rigged,” Senator Marco Rubio said in a debate last night in his re-election race. “He should stop saying that.” No Republican as senior has said so as directly.
3. Trump forsakes polls
“Even though we’re doing pretty good in the polls, I don’t believe in the polls anymore,” Trump told a crowd in Colorado, where he ... trails in the polls. “Believe me, folks, we’re doing great.” He also advised: “Forget the press, read the internet.”

4. Trump predicts one-party rule if he loses
This is our final shot, folks. In four years it’s over. We’re never going to be able to win. It’s going to be a one-party system. This is your final shot.

5. The Clinton emails churn

7. Trump: accusers just want fame
“These people come up, maybe for a little fame or maybe for some other reason, or maybe because they’re part of the Clinton campaign,” Trump said in an interview with ABC News.
