The bitter maestro joins the chorus

The System is rigged!

Eponymous founder of the movement of which Trump is the front man, Pat Buchanan complains that the system is rigged because most of the media and most of the voters despise The Duce and the political position and style - Pat Buchanan's position and style - he represents.

He complains that if the media were not so hostile to Trump, the GOP nominee would be leading in the polls.

Gee, if only the press actually liked Trump, Buchanan, and Buchananism.

But they don't.

The system is rigged!

Pat is consumed with fury and frustration at the browning of America, the secularization of America by courts far more seriously disestablishmentarian than he is, the end of the firmly white dominated, clericalist America of his youth.

George Will joins the lunatics.

I think when most persons hear that an election is rigged, they think of government action to rig the election. 

And there Mr. Trump has a point if he would just make it more clearly. 

It is hard to think of an innocent reason why Democrats spend so much time, energy and money, scarce resources all, resisting attempts to purge the voter rolls, that is to remove people who are dead or otherwise have left the jurisdiction. 

It's hard to think of an innocent reason why they fight so tremendously against Voter I.D. laws.

. . . .

We know -- we don't surmise -- we know that the 2010, '12 and '14 elections were rigged by the most intrusive and potentially punitive institution of the federal government, the IRS.

This lunacy is not universal on the right, however.
