Does that mean Rubio is ahead in early voting and Trump is just angry or what? Presumably early voting should be helping Trump right now given that he overperforms with early voting than election day voting and about half the potential electorate here has early voted.

Yes, Trump has said this in every single primary election so far. It's a process. Have Roger Stone tweet out false allegations. Get a couple witnesses to buy into that. Then Trump claims he is being wronged by the establishment to generate sympathy so people vote for him to stop it.

Who knows....this is Trump. Could just being trying to stir it up but he did schedule some Florida events after he said this.

That said he has now canceled one of these FL events to have an Ohio event in Youngstown.

Idk, I believe Rubio may be ahead in the early voting (it ended yesterday), but Trump supporters are gonna dominate the election day voting, and none of the Supervisor of election officials in any county have any idea on what Trump is talking about.

Rubio using his trusty Miami conneXXXions to magically rig the vote here would be the icing on the cake for this clusterfcuk of a primary.

Don't think that will happen.
I will be completely shell-shocked if it does.

More lies from the Trump campaign.

People need to get it through their heads that Trump is embracing Total Falsehood the way previous generations fought Total War. There's nothing he won't say. Truth is irrelevant to Trump.

Don't think Florida's GOP wouldn't fix elections.

Former Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) was Jeb Bush's 1994 running mate.

The Florida GOP Establishment are shameless scumbags who will screw people with genteel manners.  They are terrified of Trump's ascendency.  Truthfully, that's a good thing for the citizens of Florida; those folks need to feel accountability by some means

Cause Trump is a good thing for us right? And I have yet to see how the GOP establishment here has screwed anyone over, yes I will agree that they are bad but I haven't seen any evidence of that. They tried to get Charlie Crist to be the nominee when clearly we wanted Rubio in 2010 and look how that turned out.

Trump may or may not be a con man, but his campaign has exposed the cons of the other candidates, and, if I may add, with great skill and ease.  The con of Rubio and Jeb! on immigration.  The con of Cruz as being pro-working class.  He's made mincemeat out of the entire GOP Establishment.  Why isn't that a good thing?  What does it say when your high and mighty leaders, and their minion candidates, are humbled and frustrated at every turn by Little Donnie Trumpkins?  Really, think about that.  If Trump is such an idiot, why has he tied his entire opposition up in knots?

Even if Rubio is doing this, it's perfectly legal.

He hasn't, Fuzzy (except with Jeb Bush, I'll give you that). He's losing, and the very quote this thread was formed to discuss reeks of desperation.

If Trump hasn't made mincemeat out of the GOP establishment, then the standard has been upped considerably.

I will die laughing when Donald Trump selects the new RNC Chairman, and ROFL while Reince Priebus cleans out his office.

If it were any normal candidate, statements like these would mean his staff think it's too close to call.  But Trump just says things to say them, so this probably means nothing at all.  He has also stated repeatedly that he conducts no internal polling, meaning it would be unlikely he knows anything we don't.

He probably knows much less than we do actually. lol

The president who is going to quite possibly lose both houses is not a yuge success.

But, of course, he wasn't supposed to even win.
