any one presidential. Unlike the trrumpster, don't have the hubris to take this as some sort of sweeping victory by my party of choice. We could have been facing another 4~8 years of "no business as usual".

Trump was the only one who energized the base & had a chance but he blew it just by being his despicable self.

no, he's not right, not in any possible way.I'll give Trump that it was quite unnecessary to ask him if he would accept Hillary Clinton as president. I suppose its because of the theme, everythigns rigged, but the answer of saying he would advise at the end of the matter doesn't seem too upsetting to me.
Do we not remember gore v bush? It took years for people to accept Bush won, and even then maybe still don't believe he did win fairly. I bet you could even say that election was "Rigged."
Oh, how dare someone say the horrifying comment of unfair election process! The Horror! Unheard of! Really? /sarcasm
But he sucked in the debate yet again. Started fine, then lost his cool and completely lost it when he bursted out "Nasty Hillary"
Wow...what a idiotic thing to say...but in essence that is exactly 100% Trump right there, which is why he won't be elected.
Donald Trump:I want to ask you here on the stage tonight, do you make the same commitment that you'll absolutely accept the result of the election.
Chris Wallace:I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at anything now, I'll look at it at the time. What I've seen, what I’ve seen, is so bad. First of all, the media is so dishonest and so corrupt and the pile on is so amazing. "The New York Times" actually wrote an article about it, but they don't even care. It is so dishonest, and they have poisoned the minds of the voters. But unfortunately for them, I think the voters are seeing through it. I think they’re going to see through it, we’ll find out on November 8th, but I think they’re going to see through it. If you look --
Donald Trump:But, but --
Chris Wallace:Excuse me, Chris. If you look at your voter rolls, you will see millions of people that are registered to vote. Millions. This isn't coming from me. This is coming from Pew report and other places. Millions of people that are registered to vote that shouldn't be registered to vote. So let me just give you one other thing. I talk about the corrupt media. I talk about the millions of people. I'll tell you one other thing. She shouldn't be allowed to run. It’s -- She's guilty of a very, very serious crime. She should not be allowed to run, and just in that respect I say it's rigged because she should never --
Donald Trump:But, but --
Chris Wallace:Chris. She should never have been allowed to run for the presidency based on what she did with e-mails and so many other things.
Donald Trump:But, sir, there is a tradition in this country, in fact, one of the prides of this country is the peaceful transition of power and no matter how hard fought a campaign is that at the end of the campaign, that the loser concedes to the winner. Not saying you're necessarily going to be the loser or the winner, but that the loser concedes to the winner and the country comes together in part for the good of the country. Are you saying you're not prepared now to commit to that principle?
What I’m saying is that I will tell you at the time. I'll keep you in suspense, okay?
Do we not remember gore v bush? It took years for people to accept Bush won, and even then maybe still don't believe he did win fairly. I bet you could even say that election was "Rigged."
I seem to recall that it took Gore a month to concede that he lost to Bush. But don't let this fact interfere in your "its never before happened in America" diatribe.

So how do we define "absolutely accept"? Was Gore asked if he would "absolutely accept" the results prior to the election? Trump is going to most likely lose by a wide margin, but on the off-chance that he wins Florida and Ohio by a smidgen, and a couple other critical swing states are all borderline against him (enough to lose the election) but close enough to consider a recount, would you call it "absolutely accept[ing]" the election if he wants a recount?
I just wonder why people continue to bring up the Gore vs. Bush trope? It's not remotely the same as what Trump's braying about.

Asking 'will you accept the result of the election?' in no way means you can't ask for a recount, if that's allowed within the rules of that state. So all of the 'but but recounts!' stuff falls under the 'results of the election'. The results of the election are determined after recounts.So how do we define "absolutely accept"?

I guess this is another issue where Trump's lack of clarity will kill him. He did say "we’ll find out on November 8th" which implies the initial results of the election, and would be open to a recount if he didn't accept the results on Nov 8, but he never explicitly mentioned recounts, so fair enough.

And a on a similar note, we just got to hear Pres Obama whine about Trump supposed whining. And now it is reported that our federal law enforcement officials are concerned about the potential of Russian hacking of election databases. So Trump is on the forefront of concern, while the Dems are personally offended by the possibilities. Better check under your beds Dems. The Rooskies may be hiding there.
Stop nagging him about riggers.
I see what you did there
Stop nagging him about riggers.

Stop being coy and pretending Trump hasn't been beating the drums lately, saying, over and over again IN ADVANCE to packed crowds and with no concrete proof, that the ELECTION IS RIGGED. Putting it down to simply, gosh, the poor guy's "lack of clarity" requires you to be stupidly blind to his recent actions and statements. Don't go full retard trying to make excuses for this loutish, lying, cut rate demagogue. Just . . . don't.
It's all very ambiguous but I think he's talking about these.

Trump suggesting, nearly 2 months before the Vote occurs, that the results are rigged
Excuse me, Chris. If you look at your voter rolls, you will see millions of people that are registered to vote. Millions. This isn't coming from me. This is coming from Pew report and other places. Millions of people that are registered to vote that shouldn't be registered to vote.
