Donald Trump: ‘I Will Accept The Results Of This Election

In his first campaign appearance following the final presidential debate, Trump assured a crowd in OH that he would accept the will of the voters on Election Day – as long as he wins. “He’s attacking the very essence of the notion that we have a democratic system”.

Trump has stunned observers by saying he’ll challenge the results of the November 8 election if there’s a “questionable result”, though he has teasingly promised to embrace the outcome if he wins. “What I’ve seen is so bad”, he said, repeating unfounded allegations of vote rigging. A concession isn’t just an exercise in graciousness.

Mr McCain dismissed Mr Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud that could tip the election, saying that there have sometimes been irregularities and even fraud, “but never to an extent that it affected the outcome”.

The Republican presidential nominee said he was reserving his right to “contest or file a legal challenge” if he loses.

“When you have a candidate who says they don’t believe in the outcome of a presidential election in this country, that’s denying democracy”, Cuban said in a Thursday interview on the Fox Business Network. Then towards the end of the debate, when Clinton was discussing the Affordable Care Act, Trump interrupted her with the pithy and instantly-infamous dis: “Such a nasty woman“.

During an afternoon appearance in which he promoted the Monday opening of Florida’s early voting period, Obama told the crowd his legacy is at stake.

And he continued to undermine voters’ trust in American democratic institutions, claiming that 1.8 million dead people are registered to vote, “and some of them vote”, after claiming that Hillary Clinton is “Truly capable of anything, including voter fraud”. He also linked Clinton to a report that Democrat operatives may have tried to “incite violence” at Trump rallies. Later she told reporters: “What he said tonight is part of his whole effort to blame somebody else for where he is in his campaign”.

In Sunday’s debate, Trump and Clinton offered sharply differing views on immigration, the Supreme Court, gun control, and abortion.

But he added: “If I win”.

Republican candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday would not commit to accepting the outcome of the November 8 USA presidential election if he loses, challenging a cornerstone of American democracy and sending shockwaves across the political spectrum. Heck recently dropped his support for Trump, and polls showed it hurt his standing with Republican voters. The GOP’s top concern now is salvaging its majority in the Senate, followed closely by worries over the Republicans’ once comfortable grip on the House.

During the first half of the debate a few people enjoyed elements of Donald Trump’s performance.

THE FACTS: Comparing Trump’s before-the-fact, implied threat to challenge a “rigged” election to Gore’s contest of the 2000 race is faulty on several levels.

USA elections are run by local elected officials – Republicans, in numerous most competitive states. The Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, declared Trump’s resistance “horrifying”.

Mr. Trump, I want to ask you about one last question in this topic.

“They had only the victor and the guy who said the elections had been rigged”, he recalled.

Amid bipartisan backlash, Trump razzed his critics as he kicked off a post-debate rally in Delaware, Ohio, on Thursday. TiVo reported that the moment Donald Trump talked about how “nobody has more respect for women than I do” – and Wallace had to shush some audience members from laughing – was when more viewers stopped and rewound to take a second look than any other.
