The third and final presidential debate highlighted Hillary Clinton’s support for partial-birth abortion, “open borders” (her words), and “free” college for all students whose families make up to $125,000.
Yet Donald Trump is the extremist, in the eyes of the elite media, because he wouldn’t pledge to support the outcome of the election in advance.
Such pledges, of course, are useless. In response to another Fox News debate question, Jeb Bush pledged in advance to support the Republican nominee, no matter who he or she was. Yet Bush is now opposing Trump.
Moreover, it is hardly unprecedented for a candidate not to accept the election’s outcome. Al Gore fought for weeks to try to wrestle the 2000 election away from George W. Bush, who was declared the winner on election night. Gore didn’t concede the race until the Supreme Court ruled against him.
This very month, almost 16 years later, Gore was still implying that he won, with Hillary Clinton sitting behind him and nodding approvingly as he spoke....

The people who are upfront and honest, even about who they don’t like, are always preferable to those who promise and chicken out.
Al Gore...Pffft...The rules are always different for Democrats
Without fail.
He makes deals. that is what he does. And these jackasses walked up to him and demanded that he accept their final proposed goal without offering ANYTHING in return. They didn’t offer him a thing, there is no way he would just accept what they pitched him.
And the thing they pitched to him, he isn’t interested in anyway. So it was incumbent upon them to make it benefit him too. for example was the media offering in return to aggressively root out election fraud?
did they offer to post an election fraud hotline the next day that Trumps people could monitor?
Etc....
Did Chris Wallace really expect Mr. Trump to say that he waives his rights, in the event that some substantial fraud has been committed, to challenge the results?
Mr. Trump would have to be a complete fool to do this, after all he’s gone through, and all of the dirt that is being exposed.
First of all, he never said he would not accept the results. He said lets’ wait and see what happens.
The media is totally making up what he in fact did NOT say & then pretending phony, hypocritical outrage.
Secondly, Hillary NEVER answered the question - either on stage or when it was asked of her again post-debate on her plane. The media just wanted to plant the “fact” in everybody’s mind that Trump would be the loser.
Memo to the media whores: There’s nothing revolutionary in Trump’s election results answer
There. Fixed it.
