2016 US presidential poll latest news: Donald Trump seems to suggest election will be rigged; Paul Ryan U-turns on support

The latest presidential election for the United States could prove to be a tough yet memorable one, especially with the colorful figures currently running for office. Right now, it seems that Donald J. Trump is lashing out at his fellow Republicans, calling them disloyal and far more difficult compared to his adversary, Hillary Clinton.

According to the NY Times, Trump has been griping about the political system, calling it rigged and as such he offers no respect to the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates. He even went so far as to say that the microphone he had was defective back in the first debate. 

Now, Trump is worrying that the election is going to be taken away from him, but the exact term he used was "stolen." He then went ahead and singled out Philadelphia since it was a city that has a large African-American population. This is, of course, not the first time that Trump has insinuated that the "stolen election" is linked to African-American urban neighborhoods.

These days, though, he has been pressing on this topic with more intensity, saying that there is a chance for an election day fraud and that the news media outlets are biased in favor of Hillary Clinton.

The assertions were made after Trump's decline in the polls due to his less-than-ideal performance in the first debate against Hillary Clinton, as well as the accusations of him forcing himself on women. What this could mean, however, is that he might not accept Clinton's victory and as such might undermine the legitimacy of the results.

Meanwhile, BBC news states that Trump also ripped his fellow Republican, the House Speaker Paul Ryan after choosing not to back him after the controversial 2005 video was released. In the video, Trump made obscene comments about groping women. However, the outcome of the election is still not clear, and anything can happen at this point.
