Has Mr. Trump taken his insurgent campaign too far by questioning the legitimacy of our free elections?

Elections and our way of life in general depend upon the public's confidence. As SMs we serve to defend a constitution that has proved to be robust, interpretable and inclusive. It is a constitution that has borne a great citizen candidate in Donald Trump. But how does his thumbing his nose at the legitimacy of a system that created his candidacy serve him?

SSG(P) (Join to see) - Never said that. But Fox coverage is just superficial. What CAN be taken as gospel is wikileaks revelations of reporters cozy relationship, colluding with the Clinton Camp, sometimes even getting their approval before they run stories, not to mention all the donations from them.

COL Flemming,
With all due respect, and by your leave Sir, I feel compelled to address a tangential issue that really came to my notice during the course of this discussion.
I am listed as a top 5%er by dint of the interactions I've generated to date. My issue is this:
We are allowed three modes of expressing an opinion on any particular question or comment; one may vote "UP", one may vote "DOWN" or one may comment.
This, as I soon found out, is not completely true.
In attempting to simply disagree with SSG Tony K's use of a questionable study supposedly authored by academicians at Berkeley/Stanford, I found to my horror that I could NOT give the comment a "DOWN" vote. It appears that I do not possess "enough" "influence points" to have the now dubious "privilege" of disagreeing with ANYTHING!
I am allowed to agree with, or vote "UP" any and everything, but I'm allowed to disagree with, or vote "DOWN", absolutely NOTHING.
Sir, this is organizational stifling of the free flow of opinion and ideas without the threat of command repercussions. It's also an affront to our Army Values.
I am appalled by this and to be honest, my first inclination was to double my "influence points" by splashing this all over social media, but that just wouldn't be fair...would it?
I am going to push this up to the Head Shed, but at this point, whatever response I get is going to be too little, too late...
My apologies for the inconvenience, Sir.
