other people have to prepare and do stuff, but i just came down from heaven, for example, as the greatest baseball player in new york. were you a good hitter? the best. i was the best hitter. it gives you some insight, right? i mean if that is how this presidential candidate thinks of himself and has always thought of himself going back to first grade no, no, no, before first grade, i mean if you understand that that is how he thinks of himself, then it is not a surprise when he, like, for example, today on the campaign trail tells a crowd of supporters in ohio that basically he is sick of this election. he is sick of all this working to earn this presidency thing. he s sick of it. just give it to me already. what a difference. you know, what a difference this is. and just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to trump, right?
he s trying to tell his folks to watch out for this fraud that might occur, says the head of the rnc. on one hand reince priebus is decoding donald trump there on cbs this weekend. on the other hand, i want to know about the rnc and this threat to rig the election and this fraud that might occur and whether the rnc is working on this. tell me more, mr. head of the republican party. oh, you re not here. let s instead ask ben ginsburg, former general counsel and an msnbc analyst. i am not asking you to be reince priebus or to defend reince priebus. i appreciate that. but i do want you to give me your view on what s going on right now with this complaint. you re the man who said that you could basically guarantee that the democrats were going to make this court filing once you saw what the trump campaign was talking about on the campaign trail. yeah, and what i added to
prezpr precincts in 1981. many of them wore guns, they wore these ballot security task force arm bands and they patrolled voting sites in dozens of precincts that had mostly minority voters. and the republicans did very, very, very narrowly win that governor s race in new jersey that year. but the democratic party sued over this ballot security task force thing. and the democrats won that case. and the republicans signed on to a consent decree because of it. and now, 35 years later, the republican party is still trying to get out from under the legal restrictions that were put on them because of that case. and in the midst of that, here s what donald trump has been saying out on the campaign trail. we have a lot of law enforcement people working that day. we re hiring a lot of people. we re putting a lot of law enforcement. we have some great people here,

and now, 35 years later, the republican party is still trying to get out from under the legal restrictions that were put on them because of that case. and in the midst of that, here s what donald trump has been saying out on the campaign trail. we have a lot of law enforcement people working that day. we re hiring a lot of people. we re putting a lot of law enforcement. we have some great people here, some great leaders here of the republican party, and they re very concerned about that. and that s the way we could lose the state. so important that you watch other communities, because we don t want this election stolen from us. when i say watch, you know what i m talking about, right? you know what i m talking about. you know what i m talking about. we re going to have law enforcement doing this. we don t want this election stolen from us. we have some great leaders of the republican party. donald trump is not under a
