The question of concession was absurd; Trump, who has in other areas demonstrated uncanny intuition, must have instinctively understood that pre-emptive surrender is political suicide since Americans by nature do not invest in failure. He had no choice but to project an intention to fight to the bitter end no matter what.
Anything else would guarantee that all but his most ardent supporters stayed home on election day since the effort to vote was a pointless gesture.

I hoped at that moment Trump would let Hillary answer first, since she has election experience, and say he would follow her lead on that question.
