Trump is trying to play on the dissatisfaction with the democratic primary by claiming that Clinton is going to rig the general election. This makes no sense and is just baseless fear mongering. He's down 9.2% in the polls, and a republican hasn't won Pennsylvania since 1988. No, Trump, the polls aren't rigged, you're just a loser.
The reason we can say there was questionable stuff in the primary is because the democrats had it out for Sanders. Here, the democrats may have it out for Trump, but the GOP has it out for Clinton, and both parties have influence in the media and debate schedules, etc. Moreover, a big suspicion of cheating electorally comes from weird discrepancies in polling data versus the actual result, which were well outside of the margin of error. I don't doubt that the democrats could try something here too, but they really don't need to rig the election to win here. Trump is down enough where if Trump won Pennsylvania I would wonder if it were rigged, that's how badly he's doing.
Look, you can't just blame losing an election on rigging without evidence or even a valid reasonable suspicion. Especially when you're expected to lose badly. It doesn't work that way. You're going to lose Pennsylvania because you're a crappy candidate, Clinton doesn't need to rig PA to win here. Dems have won here for decades in presidential elections, and the polls are on their side.
