Speaking at a rally in Ohio, Donald Trump proposed a novel solution to all the problems with rigged polls, rigged media, and a rigged election. Rather than going through all that trouble ...

"Just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump," the Republican presidential nominee said during a rally here on Thursday.

Sure. Let’s do that. Trump is behind in every battleground state, as well as nationally, and … looking up the page at the Daily Kos Elections forecast, Hillary Clinton has a 95-percent chance of winning. But really, why not just “give it to Trump”?

“Why are we even having it? Why are we having it?”

Actually, I think we’re having it so we can see Donald Trump soundly defeated and dragged off the national stage still ranting and whining. To thunderous applause.

Also, I’d be all in favor of a law that said no one who talked about themselves in third person was eligible for the presidency. Sorry, Bob Dole.
