Facts. Those pesky facts: Reposted excerpt↓ from a 10/12/16 Wall Street Journal article by Joe Palazzolo, "So You Want to be a Trump Poll Watcher". No affiliation or ownership:
"Donald Trump’s campaign has been recruiting poll watchers at rallies and on social media. The Republican presidential nominee has warned of potential voter fraud since at least the summer and with increasing frequency in recent days, telling crowds on Monday in Pennsylvania that the election could be “stolen from us.”
Evidence of the type of election fraud Mr. Trump seems to be worried about—unqualified people impersonating voters—is scant, as The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, but his calls for vigilance may nevertheless lead some supporters to polling places for reasons other than their own vote.
With that in mind, we asked Sara Rose, a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, to explain the laws that regulate poll watching in her state, a key battleground where Mr. Trump has warned of vote rigging.
Mr. Trump’s calls for volunteers notwithstanding, very few people are allowed inside a polling place if they aren’t there to cast a ballot...."
(Quick comment:) Trump's continuing, party-supported campaign for president is proof (that) there is no honest, courageous leadership within the national Republican party. If there were, this offensive clown would be effectively forced to drop out.
...(Once-again) "condemning" his statements/actions without also (immediately) demanding the end of his ridiculous candidacy.... = next-to-nothing.10/8/16 update: Apparently it is "too late" to replace Donald Trump on the ballot.

(Continuing:)...As noted here and elsewhere many times: Mr. Trump never provides realistic specifics of HOW he --- and he alone, apparently -- plans to fulfill and implement his outlandish promises.

Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) "the founder" of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON'T GET SARCASM?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 12, 2016
: the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny
("Sarcasm." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 28 July 2016.)By that broad definition I suppose any demagogue could employ the word as an escape smokescreen, after broadcasting whatever inflammatory, outrageous, under-developed notion that popped into mind.
Therefore; extending Mr. Trump's ready-escape device (...used in various, shifty ways...) to a different -- alarming -- scenario:Fictional 'President Trump' begins his January 20, 2017 inaugural address:
'THE PRESIDENT': "Vice President Pence....you handsome knucklehead you...., Mr. Chief Justice....you're totally gone after that Obamacare vote....
members of the United States Congress....C'mon! That's an actual job?? Just leave this all up to me. By the way, is "Pocahontas" Warren here? 'Woo-woo-wooo-woo woo'! That mean: I win. You lose!...... distinguished guests.......I don't really see any.....OK, just being sarcastic, folks! I love all you guys......, and fellow followers:
Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution......And I must add: The NRA and you Second Amendment 'folks'! I owe you guys one. Wait, wait....no shooting in the air... or other places! Hahahahahahaha. Sarcasm again! ....And how about the "enduring strength" of that big, beautiful wall that's gonna get built, huh! C'mon! ....I can't hear you! Give it up! ..For the wall! I'm serious about it! At least for now.....
(Resuming, from teleprompter:) ....We affirm the promise of our democracy.....To me, my family and others like me! I'll be a holding a huge, invitation-only reception at Mar-a-Lago later tonight! You know who you are...But see Secretary of State Ivanka if you don't remember your table assignment. It'll be fabulous: ....Secretary of Defense Palin will be providing the night's entertainment! Plus: We'll be roasting Chief Justice Roberts.. Literally! ....Kidding...kidding. Just being sarcastic! You'll see how my sarcasm works later there, John....! Please pay no attention to those armed guys!
(Resuming reading text:) ...We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names.......Which reminds me: All current inhabitants of the U.S. with last names ending in "-ez" or "-az".... or just plain 'z': Please report to the nearest 'Rudy Giuliani Resettlement Center' for further processing. I'm serious: Don't make me ask again!......That John Roberts injunction-thing about my pending executive order shouldn't last much longer........Unless it does. Then you'll all understand that I was just joking of course...."
-- Candidate for President of the United States Donald Trump, after publicly encouraging Russians (..."intelligence" agencies?) to track down (or 'hack') Hillary Clinton's deleted emails.

("Sarcasm." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 28 July 2016.)
Who knows? When (political) reality means that nightmare-future-President Trump cannot fulfill the myriad of far-fetched "promises"↓ (..by himself)......Might it all be excused - by him - as just "being sarcastic"?
'President Sarcasm', via the secure computer-link 'hotline': "Vladimir, you knucklehead!
...I hope we're able to find the 30,000 Russians that have gone missing in recent years under your regime. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by your corrupt oligarchs."
"Vladimir Putin": *transmission terminated*

'President Sarcasm', via Korean emissary Dennis Rodman: "Chairman Kim, you loser!
...I hope we're able to find the 30,000 North Koreans that have gone missing in recent weeks under your regime. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by your sycophants."
"Kim Jong-un": *emissary terminated*

...When we hear the GOP's nominee for president -- a descendant of immigrants himself-- rant about U.S immigrants and unauthorized immigrants, about building an infeasible, very expensive wall, etc.; please take a minute to reflect upon the following:
11.5 (million, I used the 2011 slightly-higher reported number) divided by approx. 314 (million, roughly the U.S population in 2012) equals about 3.7% of the U.S. total population at that time.
Hardly an "overwhelming" number, esp. in terms of percentage.Insert: The Pew Research link below reports the 2014 number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. at about 11.3 million...I.e., the total did not increase; may have actually slightly decreased..(11.3 (million) divided by (approx.) 318 (million) = 3.6%

"...Trump didn't mention that his campaign team reposted the image - and tried to cover up what Trump called "just a star." He also didn't mention that (sic) why his social media team acted over his objections in removing the tweet...."
