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
“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
Algore DIDN’T accept the results of an election. Remember him?
She wanted to say: I know I won because we Dems rigged it so much we should have won it...
“I think she knows she lost, but she keeps this up to avoid swinging from a noose.”
This.
Selling state secrets as Secretary of State is a hanging offense.
“she keeps this up to avoid swinging from a noose.”
Remember what Hillary told Donna Brazile, “..If that SOB wins we’ll all be hanging from a noose..”?
Yes. Exactly. I thought it a VERY strange quote (if source is true).
Good one!
Hillary,shut your piehole.
She’s so far over the top she must have hid some papers in the WH and has to get them back she is obsessed with getting back in that building and it just the china she wants out of there.
Hillary can’t acknowledge that with all her dead voters, felons and noncitizen voters she still couldn’t win. Her fraudulent voters could compensate for her unlikable persona.
The left is too stupid to ever realize that Trump was baiting Hillary to spend time on the popular vote tally and not on the Midwest electorial vote. Like catching fish in a barrel.
