Same line of BS they forced on him to pledge not to run as an independent. When they’d use it as nothing but a means to crawl fish him.

Given Clinton’s history of courting the media, it appears that she sends out blast emails to her media minions with her talking points and script. How, otherwise, to they continue to say the same thing(s)?

It won’t hurt him with the people who are going to vote for him anyway. It *might* be of use to the Democrats to fire up their base for the House and Senate races, but probably not.

Everyone looked shocked, I thought it was smart.

"No matter what happens, will you act a certain way three weeks from now?"

Of course I wouldn't answer the question. Especially if I knew that it would get thrown back in my face.

Trump put them on notice that he will be on the alert for vote fraud and ballot box chicanery.

Hillary Clinton may have ALREADY done something so egregious that he should not accept the results because the result would be fraudulent.

If the Democratic Party has so badly compromised the election process that the results are fraudulent, then a patriot would NOT accept the results and would engage the people in a process that corrects the problem, which would not involve court cases and rulings by corrupt judges in on the game. We have no republic if the election system is compromised as much as I think it is.

It will help Trump with the large number of traditional non voters who are so turned off to the corruption.

See the BREXIT election results.

What Trump has done is BRILLIANT. It forces everyone--including the MSM even though that don't want this attention!--to start investigating the level of voting fraud going on. In short, there will be unprecedented scrutiny on early-voting ballots, absentee ballots, electronic voting machines and even the supposedly "safe" mark-sense paper ballots--and that scrutiny will expose the Democrats' voter fraud plan.

Remember, in most of the world there are relatively few usage for early voting and there are tough proof of identification requirements just to vote (India is a good example of this). The USA should have the same diligence.

As an experienced negotiator trump gave the correct answer. Never volunteer for any blanket commitment.

In fact, Trump not only turned a spotlight on those daily developing stories, but he riveted that spotlight in place. The statement that Trump made is so unique and provocative, that to ignore the corruption causes a little anxiety to develop out of frustration that we are not dealing with what really matters. The media just doesn't get it. They got Trumped.

BINGO

Exactly. Media is so obsessed with preserving this republic, but if we don’t have free elections, our republic is corrupt and needs reformed. Our founders or any lover of liberty would not accept this corruption!

I remember the media’s hair was on fire about that one too. They are so conventional in their thinking. They are a pretty dim bunch.

So Trump’s response means the media cannot help but cover the real and credible indications of potential for voter fraud being carried out by Democrats across this country - from now to the election...while Trump’s campaign hopefully stays focused on the big issues. Now, tell me how that is bad for Trump. Seems to me like he suckered them once again.

Precisely. It’s kind of funny how the media is so easily inflamed. So predictable.

I believe you folks are right. He has now focused attention on voter fraud as an issue. The media stepped in it big time. EITHER cover and see what is going on, or implicitly support the Democrats in stealing the election. ROFL.

“Democrats have been whining for 16 years, they are still writing articles about how Bush stole the elections in 2000 and 2004. So this holier than though attitude about, “this is the first time anyone has suggested that the election is not a sacrosanct process,” it’s a joke. So you guys bathe in that hypocrisy if you want to, I’d just like to hear how the debate went. Go ahead, bathe.” -Joe Scarborough
