Of course, the upcoming debates are totally RIGGED. Moderators? RIGGED. Timing of the debates? RIGGED. Questions that will be asked of candidates? RIGGED. The entire left-wing media RIGGED. Those current public opinion polls? RIGGED. The entire "system"? RIGGED. The election as a whole? RIGGED. Victim-hood, at its finest.
