President Trump took the MAGA circus to Manchester, New Hampshire yesterday and broke out the greatest hits. From insulting protesters, to ‘‘Lock her up” chants, to nonsensical tirades, yesterday’s rally was everything you’d expect from the President’s reelection campaign. But there was one comment Trump made that stuck with us.

Before heading to the event, Trump started laying the groundwork to invalidate next year’s election by claiming that “thousands and thousands of people came in from locations unknown” to vote in New Hampshire in 2016. This might seem like Trump’s usual “blame everyone but himself” style, but we think he’s up to something more sinister. Here’s why:

We’re making major headway in New Hampshire, we know this because Trump is already campaigning there. Something that’s almost unheard of for an incumbent president this early in the cycle. We’re building a campaign there that’s going to cut through Trump’s bluster and reach voters where they are. But his comments yesterday demonstrate that if we win that primary, he’s going to do everything in his power to invalidate the results, halting our momentum and casting doubt on our democratic process.

President Trump is using the two-bit dictator playbook of “winning” elections. And his attacks on our election systems are only going to get worse as the primary gets closer. So if we want to build a movement that cuts through Trump’s megalomania, wins New Hampshire, and reclaims the Republican party, we’re going to need your help. Can you rush a $20.20 donation right now to help us build the organization we need to defend our democratic process?
