Donald Trump's stunning refusal to say whether he will accept the outcome of the presidential election has created chasms in an already fractured Republican Party.
When asked during Wednesday's final presidential debate whether he would accept the results of an election that he has repeatedly claimed is "rigged," Trump replied that he would "keep you in suspense."
"I will look at it at the time. I'm not looking at anything now. I'll look at it at the time," Trump told moderator Fox News' Chris Wallace.

If Trump loses and doesn't concede, it would break from an American tradition dating back to the Civil War — and some Republicans have been swift to condemn him for it.
Trump "saying that he might not accept election results is beyond the pale," Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake tweeted Wednesday.
.@realDonaldTrump saying that he might not accept election results is beyond the pale — Jeff Flake (@JeffFlake) October 20, 2016 South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said in a statement that he, like most Americans, has "confidence in our democracy and election system."
"During this debate Mr. Trump is doing the party and country a great disservice by continuing to suggest the outcome of this election is out of his hands and 'rigged' against him. If he loses, it will not be because the system is "rigged" but because he failed as a candidate." Graham said.

Keep weeding out this GOPe punks Donald! I love it.
Just one more example of the PUSSIES in the GOP!
That’s pretty bold talk for a group (the RNC/GOPe) hasn’t even said they’d accept it if Trump wins.
What if the American people refuse to accept the results of a rigged system?
The bitch ass punks of the GOP.
How disgusting and repugnant they are.
So, if there is credible evidence of voter fraud in favor of Clinton, is Trump then supposed to roll over and “let it go”?
...South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham...
The defense rests.
Buahahahahaha! Trump is raising the alarm:
Look at this from Veritas Video, where Clinton had protesters in Chicago at a Trump rally to create violence and riot. ( This is liberal fascism)

If the Clinton machine would DO THAT, what else would she do illegally?
Trump is quite right to raise the ALARM on a rigged election.
AND THE MSM is helping him to do it.
Another TRUMP win!Using the MSM like the b*tches they truly are!MORE FREE ADVERTISING!
Linda always has to get her two cents in. Can’t have the media disliking him.
I think it’s that coupled with strong P*nis envy.
Gore actually DID contest.
ESAD, Flake, you Arizona Mormon moron.
Gee. Have the Dem ever accepted Gore vs Bush they still say they were robbed
The GOP has stated that they demand a recount of the vote that delivered the presidency to Donald Trump earlier today.
Think I'm kidding don't ya...
Oh see it’s that dope Flake and Linda Graham.
“Not Accepting Election Results”
What the heck does that even mean?
Best. Election. Ever!
The Civil War of 2000, apparently.
All the same ole rerun RINOs. Ugh.
