In light of Hillary's latest doubts about the legitimacy of the 2016 election, I've collected several comments on Trump's statement in the last debate that he wouldn't GUARANTEE to accept the outcome of the election.
Enjoy!
During the third debate, Trump refused to pre-emptively agree to the election results, saying he'd "look at it at the time."
A 'HORRIFYING' REPUDIATION OF DEMOCRACY -- The Washington Post, Oct. 20, 2016
DENIAL OF DEMOCRACY -- Daily News (New York), Oct. 20, 2016
DANGER TO DEMOCRACY -- The Dallas Morning News, Oct. 20, 2016
ONE SCARY MOMENT; IT ALL BOILED DOWN TO ... DEMOCRACY -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Oct. 21, 2016
"(Shock) spiked down the nation's spinal column last night and today when the Republican nominee threatened that this little election thing you got there, this little democratic process you've got here, it's nice, it's fine, but he doesn't necessarily plan on abiding by its decision when it comes to the presidency." -- Rachel Maddow, Oct. 20, 2016
"Trump's answer on accepting the outcome of the vote is the most disgraceful statement by a presidential candidate in 160 years." -- Bret Stephens, then-deputy editorial page editor at The Wall Street Journal
"I guess we're all going to have to wait until Nov. 9 to find out if we still have a country -- if Donald Trump is in the mood for a peaceful transfer of power. Or if he's going to wipe his fat a-- with the Constitution." -- CBS's Stephen Colbert, Oct. 19, 2016
"It's unprecedented for a nominee of a major party to themselves signal that they would not accept -- you know, respect the results of an election. We've never had that happen before. ... This really presents a potentially difficult problem for governing ..." -- MSNBC'S Joy Reid, Oct. 22, 2016
"This is very dangerous stuff ... would seriously impair our functioning as a democracy. ... This is about as serious as it gets in the United States." -- CNN's Peter Beinart, Oct. 20, 2016
"Obviously, it's despicable for him to pretend that there's any chance that he would not accept the results of this election; it would be -- in 240 years you've never had anybody do it. ..." -- CNN's Van Jones, Oct. 20, 2016
“That’s horrifying. Let’s be clear about what he is saying and what that means. He is denigrating — he is talking down our democracy. And I am appalled that someone who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that position.” – Hillary Clinton
““Every losing presidential candidate in modern times has accepted the will of the voters, even in extraordinarily close races, such as when John F. Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard M. Nixon in 1960 and George W. Bush beat Al Gore in Florida to win the presidency in 2000,” – New York Times
Hillary Clinton 2016
"Hillary Clinton calls Trump a 'threat to democracy' during NC rally"

And at a different rally, she says essentially the same thing.
"That is a direct threat to our democracy. "
Hillary, the illegitimate candidate.
Hill-irrelevant.
I think she knows she lost, but she keeps this up for more money and power.
No matter what the question is, no matter what the conduct is, no matter the words that are spoken, the rules are ALWAYS DIFFERENT for Democrats.
I think she knows she lost, but she keeps this up to avoid swinging from a noose.

We should fire the entire CIA / NSA and replace them with those kids. All it costs is a few pizzas and free rent. Sure a lot cheaper than the combined intel budgets of our agencies who have spent trillions trying to sway elections abroad since the 50's.
Ever the victim...
Talk about a “Bitter Clinger”.
She can’t get over losing.
Seriously, whether she is obsessed or possessed, she's obviously perfectly willing to tell whoever still listens to her to destroy anyone and anything in order to leave her the last one standing. Yeah, she's been mean for ages, but now she's mean and crazy.
All the time and expense could be avoided. lock her up already.
Somebody send her a fruit basket!
Is it possible these are the rantings of a woman who is in first stages of dementia, and no one has been able to shut her up? I’m going with dementia.
As Chris Plante says:
- “if it weren’t for double standards, democrats would have no standards at all...”
ALL of those ‘votes’ were from ILLEGAL MEHHICCANS (you bleeping idiot!)
Noticed she didn’t say Soetoro’s two elections weren’t illegitimate.
Your side not accepting election results is only horrifying and shocking if your side can’t fabricate a horrifying and shocking cause for losing. Such as aliens or Russians, hacking election results.
