At the top of Tuesday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie proclaimed: “Donald Trump launches a new attack against Hillary Clinton and says he's concerned the election is going to be rigged against him.” In a discussion with Bloomberg Politics editor Mark Halperin minutes later, she noted: “...he made that intriguing comment yesterday about the system being rigged. Some people interpreted that as he’s laying the groundwork already that if he loses he can say, ‘Well, there was something unfair about the process.’”
Halperin scolded the Republican nominee for making such claims: “It's bad for the country. We need a bipartisan, nonpartisan sense that elections are fair. This is the kind of chaos that Donald Trump sows, maybe for himself, but without thinking about the good of the whole country.”
