Having stoked his base over
the past couple weeks with talk of a "rigged election," Trump was
told by moderator Chris Wallace that both his daughter and his running mate
have said in recent days that they would absolutely respect the results of the
vote on November 8.
Would
Trump say the same? Would he pledge a peaceful transition of power over to
Hillary Clinton if he were to lose?
No.
Incredibly, stunningly, disgustingly... Trump said no.
“I
will look at it at the time. I’m not looking into anything right now," he
told Wallace.
The
controversial candidate then offered three supposed reasons why he would not
necessarily concede on election night:
FIRST,
the “dishonest” media, citing how they have spread purported lies.
"She shouldn’t be allowed
to run," Trump said of her opponent, who has been cleared by the FBI of
any criminal activity when it came to her personal email service.
"She’s
guilty of a very, very serious crime. She should not be allowed to run, and
just in that respect I say it’s rigged. She never should have been allowed to
run for the presidency based on what she did with emails and so many other
things."
The Democratic nominee then
listed all the other times Trump has cried about something being
"rigged," painting him as a spoiler whiner.
“When
he lost the Iowa Caucus and the Wisconsin primary, he said the Republican
primary was rigged against him," he outlined.
"There
was even a time when he didn’t get an Emmy for his TV program three years ago
and he started tweeting that the Emmy’s were rigged."

What did Trump have to say in response to these allegations?
