The Latest: GOP says it'll accept election result

The Republican National Committee will accept the results of the general election even if Donald Trump doesn't.

That's according to RNC spokesman Sean Spicer. He says, "We're going to respect the will of the people."

The answer was in response to Trump's refusal during the debate to say whether he would concede if he loses the general election. He said, "I'll keep you in suspense."

[DoughtyOne]

That took all of thirty seconds. What took them so long?

This far in, they still can’t say they’d accept Trump if he won.

[cherry]

I'll keep voting but these arses won't get one penny from me....

I don't understand their end game.....are we to have one party rule for the next century, as long as they get their quid pro quo..?????

[cherry]

if you don’t vote, the rats win....don’t forget the local and state races are of premier importance.....

[cynwoody]

I’m going to enjoy voting for Trump alone.

Remember, President Trump is worthless without a GOP Congress!

Vote R down the whole ballot. Don't confuse yourself with facts or principles.

Hold your nose and vote for McCain, McConnell, Ryan, Ayotte, Kirk, Collins, even Grahamnesty!

They suck, but their opponents are worse and will ashcan Trump's agenda.

“Hold your nose and vote for McCain, McConnell, Ryan, Ayotte, Kirk, Collins, even Grahamnesty!”

Every one of those individuals can ESAD. So can you.

[LeoWindhorse]

I personally will NEVER accept a POTUS Hillary Clinton

Never never never .

Only ultra corruption can put her into office and that corruption , the sources of it , become the mortal arch enemy .

[Psalm 144]

Yup.

The GOP needs to be destroyed. I’ve been saying that since 2009.

[rawcatslyentist]

Of course they will. It has absolutely no impact on their lifetime golden parachute polish supply.

Why should they care?

[Cara C]

What is he talking about? It’s not the will of the people if the election is stolen.

[pissant]

They won’t talk about Project Veritas or Wikileaks either. Are clueless why Trump might want the next big media controversy to be about why he keeps calling it a RIGGED ELECTION.

[basalt]

he played the media again...they are melting down over this comment, which will in turn force them to cover the Okeefe videos...brilliant move.

It was great to witness UNLV's Presidential debate tonight. Great running in to many friends!

Trump ran the table and clearly explained his vision for making America safe and strong again. What a gamble it would be to vote for status quo failed government... more of the same of what dug us into the mess we're in today.

Thank you to superb law enforcement personnel for keeping everyone safe tonight. Incredible job; incredibly tough task they accomplish - with a smile, no less!

Seems silly media sheep are all chomping down on one issue after this debate, at least according to all the reporters who hollered out this same question to me: "What about Trump not accepting the election results?”

More power to Trump for explaining how vitally important the legitimacy of every election is to our democracy within our Republic.

What reasonable person would preemptively accept any and all hypothetical questions and conditions of any hypothetical election? Trump's answer was RIGHT.

Every American's sacred vote MUST be respected and legitimized in today's elections - but they must be FAIR elections. We're in the midst of proof of voter fraud and questionable - even violent - participatory elements in campaigns. That's why state legislators are now cracking down on voter fraud via tighter laws ensuring the security of our elections.

When Trump is pressed on this, it harkens back to all the GOP primary candidates who screamed at Trump to support the Republican nominee - no matter what - and Trump initially responded that he could, depending on fair treatment. That is WISE and INSIGHTFUL! Trump got screwed in that deal when he eventually pledged to support the nominee and then some of his fellow candidates turned tail and refused to reciprocate when Trump won.

Trump learned - why give opponents permission and incentive to act unfairly and cheat? It's shortsighted to commit to accepting the outcome of a race REGARDLESS of unscrupulous cheaters. How totally unfair that would be to the American voter!

Trump gave potential cheaters fair warning that we'll not give them any quarter. We'll hold them accountable. They'd better be on their toes. Cheaters will not win.

Of course Trump will accept the legitimate outcome of a legitimate election! What the heck is so hard to understand about that?

GOP you no longer represent us.

We voted against every single presidential candidate you ran. Because we are SICK OF YOUR LACK OF LEADERSHIP.

Now Trump has arrived, he is taking no prisoners, and we have a real fight on our hands for the future of the entire nation.

And you are sniveling nobodies. You s***.

Sincerely,

This former Republican.

Proud Trump voter.

“The GOP needs to be destroyed. I’ve been saying that since 2009.”

Then destroy it within the Party, not without. Which is exactly what Trump is doing. Changing it from within. You must vote Pub this time around, because Trump will be hamstrung getting his agenda through if the Dems take either House of Congress.

Trump will deal with the bad eggs in the Pub Party when Prez. He’ll take care of them, including getting Paul Ryan out of the House Speakership. Let Prez Trump deal with the RINOs, you just vote staight Pub so Trump can get most of his policies through, unless you would prefer that Trump, like Obama, be forced to resort to Executive fiat (Exec Orders) in order to get anything he wants done. I’m sure you’d prefer he would have a Pub Congress to work with and get legislation through as being preferable to that, right?

By summer of 2017, if Trump does lose, some GOP folks will wake and ask why there isn’t much enthusiasm for their “brand”, and by the spring of 2018....the fractured Republican Party will find that the Deplorable Party now exists and roughly one-third of the voters of the GOP have vacated. Deplorable candidates will be mounted in at least ten states in 2018 (my prediction) and at least three or four House seats will be won on the opening stage. I also expect a similar trend with the Democrats, with the Bernie crowd frustrated about what happened in this election.

[cba123]

I’m thinking the Trump voters and the Bernie voters may just bail (both parties) and meet in a new third party.

Even if Trump wins.

He may just do something like that. Bernie is for rebuilding American industry. Trump is for rebuilding American industry.

BOTH PARTIES however, are for making everything in the world, in China.

That is not how to make America great again.

That is how to make China great.

It will lead to ruin, for America.

Both parties, are completely sold out.

. . . according to RNC spokesman Sean Spicer-- "We're going to respect the will of the people."

It's this kind of lily-livered response to opposition pressure that will end up "respecting the will" of the Dem fraudsters and putting Queen Hillary onto the Throne.

Hasn't Spicer any sense or knowledge of the Democrat's long history of election fraud?

[Doogle]

....they’d accept a case of typhoid if it meant a buck in their pocket....scumbags

Let me reword the RNC statement (through a candor filter):

“Voter fraud is fine as long as we can continue to maintain our pay for play status with K street lobbyists. Like the Democrats, we are here to serve ourselves and could not care less about the average American. We are the elite. They are idiots and can kiss our a__. Any other questions?”
