Trump Refuses to Commit to Accepting Election Results

Throughout the campaign, Donald Trump has continually complained that the election is "rigged" against him. When asked during the final presidential debate on Wednesday whether he would accept the results of the election, Trump refused to commit, saying, "I'll look at it at the time."

Trump went on to say that Hillary Clinton should not have have been allowed to run for the presidency, nor allowed to vote. When pressed again by moderator Chris Wallace, Trump replied, "I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense."

Clinton called Trump's answer "horrifying."

This scares me the most about this election.

 

[bounchfx]

The fact that we've even tolerated him this long is absolutely baffling.

 

[Rebel Leader]

This is dangerous as fuck!

 

[adj_noun]

Heads I win, Tails it's rigged

 

[Pacify]

Neogaf > Trump > Internet > Neogaf

 

[zou]

he'll obviously will have to call Putin first.

There's not enough "everything is on fire" GIFs to represent the Trump Campaign right now.

The debate is going to move on to standard debate subjects now, but it’s impossible to forget that a truly extraordinary moment just occurred, one that will become the signal clip from this debate and possibly this campaign. A candidate representing one of the two major parties refused to accept the outcome of an American election. Think of the implications of that: Not only does it risk civil violence on the part of supporters who will be similarly encourage to resist an election, but it undermines the most fundamental democratic institution on which the country is based. Imagine the reaction of countries struggling to achieve democracy when a candidate questions whether an American ideal is legitimate. The political system will survive Trump, but the cynicism and doubt sown tonight will take a long time to heal.

Simply incredible, what a disaster. Go fuck yourself, Trump.

 

[Krejlooc]

He sounded fucking stupid during that question especially. Just say yes even if you dont mean it. What good comes from not being able to admit you would gollow the proper decorum?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

The fact that this is quickly trending is both scary and great. It is drawing attention to just how unhinged he is. But, it is showing how unhinged he is.

 

[Amir0x]

What a vile, pathetic, petulant baby. Anyone who supports him should look deep inside at the character failings that have allowed their brains to reach that conclusion. Because you just might be broken as a human being.

 

[Jerbs]

This is why I'm voting early and staying away from voting on November 8th.

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Technically someone already made this thread earlier this week, it's just that we got it 'sorta confirmed' now.

I think he's going to accept it then anyway, he just doesn't want to lose face to his backers yet. He's gonna say it's rigged and leave it at that.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

He wanted to make headlines...

 

[bishoptl]

This MOTHERFUCKER.

 

[gutter_trash]

Obama to Trump "Stop whining"

 

[Mass Effect]

This scares me the most about this election.

Yep, definitely think it's going to incite some people if he comes out saying it was all rigged and refuses to accept defeat.

 

[PopeReal]

This scares me the most about this election.

There is no reason to be. He is a whiny little bitch and so are his supporters.

The GOP will cut ties and accept the results. Normal Americans will move on.

Don't be afraid of people that throw tantrums. They have no power over us.

 

[Vyse24]

Well you know what that means

 

[Regulus Tera]

Greatest democracy on Earth am I right?

 

[Cranster]

So I'm at work. But going by this I'm assuming Hillary won the 3rd debate?

 

[SirRattleBalls]

What a guy, what a fucking guy. To not accept the election result is insane. No doubt his supporters will follow him.

 

[VariantX]

This is going to fuck over even the minimal chance he has of winning anyone over while solidifying his base. This is the big thing we're taking from this third debate, not foreign policy, positions on the second amendment, or a woman's right to choose.

 

[Donthizz#]

what a shit bag

 

[Amir0x]

Well you know what that means

gonna play this song as loud as humanly possible when Trump loses

 

[CrocMother]

So I'm at work. But going by this I'm assuming Hillary won the 3rd debate?

Well he certainly didn't win.

 

[BahamutPT]

Serious question from an outsider: what can he realistically do after the results come in and he refuses to concede/accept them?

 

[Savitar]

Is it a surprise?

Trump really can't accept anyone getting the better of him. He has a history of that. His ego won't let him do so.

Worse he's playing to the extreme right who won't accept anything else either.

 

[Toxi]

So I'm at work. But going by this I'm assuming Hillary won the 3rd debate?

She smashed him.

 

[CrocMother]

Serious question from an outsider: what can he realistically do after the results come in and he refuses to concede/accept them?

Nothing, this positions is going to look foolish when he loses in a complete landslide.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

That doesn't sound like a man who is confident in his chances of winning. I would never call that a winning temperament.

 

[Wallach]

The biggest coward to ever run for president. Fucking shameful.

 

[jett]

He's an absolute coward and anyone who votes for him doesn't have a leg to stand on.

 

[Krejlooc]

Reminder, if he won, he'd have no problem with the validity of the election

 

[zelas]

He says this right on the heels of Pence and Ivanka saying he would

 

[Clefargle]

No shit, what a derplord

 

[Kusagari]

Serious question from an outsider: what can he realistically do after the results come in and he refuses to concede/accept them?

He can't do anything except what people are scared of. Encourage some of his more crazed supporters to commit violence in response.

 

[UrokeJoe]

This guy really is all that is bad. What a freaking disgrace.

 

[massivekettle]

Simply incredible, what a disaster. Go fuck yourself, Trump.

This is typical media overreaction in the heat of the moment. Trump will be forgotten and go back to running his billion dollar empire after the election.

 

[Dunlop]

Terrifying

 

[diablos991]

After the leaks this week I don't blame him for the wait and see approach.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Even if there were evil forces that planned to steal the election somehow, they would be bailing on the idea now because they just don't have to - Trump is losing just fine on his own.

 

[Platy]

Why is the dude even running an election them ?

Well you know what that means

 

[Garou]

Serious question from an outsider: what can he realistically do after the results come in and he refuses to concede/accept them?

Outsider as well, but I think technically there is nothing for him do to except asking for recounts.

Practically he can make people riot, which in a absolute worst case scenario ends in a Civil War between red and blue states.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

he's going to indirectly cause someone to be hurt or killed over this election, as a result of his statement tonight.

Serious question from an outsider: what can he realistically do after the results come in and he refuses to concede/accept them?

Trump incites violence to angry crowds at his rallies. Imagine what he is capable of when Hillary handily wins the election, when he has already egged on "second amendment people" to "do something about it."

His words are toxic and dangerous.

LOL what does this mean?

Or just a stupid shit post?

 

[old manatee]

Donald Trump is really keeping me in suspense.
