In the closing minutes of their final debate Wednesday night, Donald Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway sent out a desperately plaintive tweet like a message in a bottle from a sinking ship:
"Hearing privately from many reporters Hillary had a 'terrible night' & Trump had best debate. Hope this will make it into print, on air."
Her very hopefulness betrayed that Conway knew only too well things wouldn't be heading her way.
The best bits and bites of Trump's debate performance, plus any evidence of Hillary Clinton's allegedly "terrible night" were about to be lost in the shadow of what her candidate had said in a single colossally foolish exchange.
It was all anyone would remember.
Asked by the moderator, Chris Wallace, whether he would accept the results of the election on Nov. 8 Trump said he'd "look at it at the time."
Pressed again, he went further.
"What I am saying is that I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense."
Trump has been ginning up suspicions about the electoral system for weeks. That's what prompted the question in the first place.
His claims that the vote will be rigged against him have riled his base while unsettling the very core of his campaign team.
Both his daughter Ivanka and his running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence have tried to wind down his vote rigging alarms with public assurances that Trump will accept the result in November, win or lose.
But obviously that hasn't worked...
...He may think he knows what he is dealing with, but I was reminded by a colleague recently of John F. Kennedy's warning in his 1961 inaugural that "those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside."

He is wisely putting everyone on notice.
Remember all the hollering he did after the Colorado GOP primary, about the “rigged” primary? That was no accident. He intended to make sure everyone know that he was on to the game and was not going to tolerate it. That was intended for every GOP primary that followed.
Had he said the Romney/Bush/McCain “lovable loser” thing, every Dem group in the nation today would be in meetings, planning as much voter fraud as they could pull off. He made it clear last night that there had better not be any monkey business, or else.
It also indicated to his own supporters that if they make the effort to go out and vote, bring their friends, etc., that he will fight for their votes.
The man is a brilliant tactician.

In the meantime, I have determined that Michelle 0bama is actually the reincarnation of Harriet Tubman and will probably appear on the new $10 bill.
Watch the O’Keefe tapes of the Democrats bragging that they’ve bused in illegal voters in selected swing states for 50 years and no a**holes, referring to law enforcement, are going to make them stop. Millions of viewers saw Fovel and Creamer outline Democrat voter fraud before they resigned (or were reassigned by Pedesta). We believe the figure of 18 million fraudulent voters is a low number, and in the selected counties of swing states, they can certainly steal an election.
It was a loaded question, with the desired result being a soundbite that the MSM could beat Trump over the head with ad nauseum.
The dead giveaway was that shrillery wasn’t asked the same question, which is odd given the dems propensity to contest every election that doesn’t go their way. See Bush vs, Gore as an example.
The only people who’ll get worked up over this are the fools who believe everything the MSM tell them.
The dems are so used to the republicans just rolling over that they have no idea on how to deal with Trump.
The dems know full well that any impropriety in the election will result in Trump bringing them a whole lot of unwanted scrutiny, in a fashion that only Trump can deliver.
They can’t have the little people realize that the entire election process is a reality theater show put on to keep the system running and the Uniparty in power.
DT Should have invited Bernie to the front row, and when ‘they’ chastised him about his ‘rigged election’ process etc, just point out Bernie and ask how a person can WIN 12 of 12 states and be 300 delegates behind.
Isolated or not, when 115% of the registered voters vote and nary a vote is cast for the opponent in some precincts, to ‘quote’ WC Fields ‘there is an Ethiopian in the fuel supply’ is more than apparent......
Sounds like? The CBC aka the Communist Broadcasting Corporation is in the tank for all the liberal/socialists.
Once again, the arsonists are telling us to be afraid of the fireman...

Love the MSM meme that this is somehow a threat to democracy! The only threat to democracy would be if Obama refused to accept the results of the election and tried to keep power. So what if Trump, or Hillary for that matter, don’t accept the results. What are they going to do? March on the WH? The MSM talks about the “peaceful transfer of power” which is a hallmark of our democracy. The only way that doesn’t happen is if OBAMA doesn’t leave!
Given that Hillary won her primary by fraud, why should Trump accept the results?
He should challenge every vote where the numbers voting goes over 100%, where dead people voted, where ID was not required, etc.
I guess it all depends on who the revealing of voter fraud is dangerous to.
The American public who being defrauded.
Or the fraudsters who are doing it.
Living under the US nuclear umbrella Canada hasn’t known danger for 7 decades.
