Race 'rigged' for Clinton

Donald Trump yesterday charged that "corrupt" media were seeking to rig November's election in favor of his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton -- who he suggested was "pumped up" on drugs at their last debate.

His White House campaign in chaos over snowballing accusations of sexual assault, Trump has cast himself as the victim of a "smear campaign," further escalating his attacks in a scorched-earth strategy heading into the final weeks of the race.

"Hillary is running for president in what looks like a rigged election," the 70-year-old told a fired-up rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. "The election is being rigged by corrupt media pushing completely false allegations and outright lies in an effort to elect her president."

Trump tweeted out a similar allegation earlier to his 12 million followers, charging: "Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted and should be in jail. Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election."

In a bizarre new attack on the Democratic nominee, he suggested she had taken performance-enhancing drugs during their last debate.

He called for her to be screened ahead of their final televised duel Wednesday in Las Vegas.

"I don't know what is going on with her. At the beginning of her last debate, she was all pumped up at the beginning. At the end, it was like, take me down, she could barely reach her car."

"Athletes, they make them take a drug test. I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. Why don't we do that?"

As the Manhattan billionaire tanks in the polls, he has spent the last week claiming the media and a "global elite" is working against him, and that Clinton had plotted to destroy the sovereignty of the United States.

"Either we win this election or we lose this country," he told supporters in New Hampshire.

The Clinton camp issued an immediate response, accusing Trump of seeking to erode public faith in the November 8 vote.

The virulence of Trump's attacks on the Clinton camp have raised concerns about whether the real estate mogul would even acknowledge a defeat, and how his legions of fired-up supporters would react should he lose.

President Barack Obama on Friday warned that America's very democracy is at stake in the election because of the Republican presidential candidate.

Earlier on Friday, Trump rejected claims of women accusing him of sexual misconducts.

Summer Zervos -- an ex-contestant on his reality TV show "The Apprentice" -- came forward to accuse him of kissing, groping and thrusting his genitals at her during a meeting at a California hotel in 2007.

The Trump campaign said in a statement that he "vaguely remembered" Zervos, but shot down her accusation.

Also Friday a former aspiring model, Kristin Anderson, told the Washington Post that Trump had sidled up to her in a nightclub in the early 1990s, reached under her skirt and touched her vagina through her panties.

They were the latest in a stream of women accusing Trump of predatory sexual behavior, adding to the woes of his now free-falling presidential bid.
