So where is Paul Ryan’s reaction? Mitch McConnell’s? Reince Priebus’? and all the other patriotic and “principled” Repuglicans?

Can you even imagine Trump making a concession speech or making a congratulatory phone call to Hillary? I really can’t.

This is a man who can’t apologize or accept a loss gracefully.

But where are the voices of the Republican office holders? Paul Ryan is the highest ranking Republican elected office holder in the USA. Where is his comment on Trump’s Un-American refusal to agree to accept the results of the election? Where is Mitch McConnell? What about Republican Governors and state legislators? If the race at the top of the ballot, the Presidential race is not legitimate are the results of the elections for down ballot races legitimate?

Trump should be treated like an untouchable. He should loose every state and every prescient after calling our democratic process illegitimate.

Rachel Maddow noted that this statement finally gives Republican weasels up for reelection an excuse for distancing themselves from the train that’s about to go off the cliff. Even if they’re not outraged by the statement, they can do a bit of performance art on respecting the will of the people and finally slip out of the Trump death grip. Of course, they might not be able to win without his voters, either.

On the other hand, how perfectly did the Clinton team predict his statement and prepare her perfectly delivered response! And “nasty woman?” Thanks so much for giving the Romney moms that final push they needed to vote for the Democratic ticket.

Trump can’t win this election …

So he’ll just try to seize power instead —

( sounds like an old playbook… from somewhere ) –

Is it possible that what he really meant is that he may not accept the result if he wins?

After all, he continues to maintain that he will win, so what else could he mean?

I remember Ed Muskee getting tossed at the mere hint of years prior “Depression”.
This is Narcissism on a scale where it’s going to rewrite Psychology texts for decades to come.

That’s close to how Kellyanne Conway explained it: Trump will accept the results because he’s going to win.

Love means never having to say you’re sorry.

While nice guys may finish last, last guys don’t finish nice.

And Trump is the last guy you’d want to be President.

What if this is just laying the groundwork for the big Russian hack of all things Diebold on 11/8?
Not that tough.
“Thats the Results!!!”! See the polls were wrong! Live with it
Dark, with motive, and with some very talented state sponsored Russian hackers.
Yes, He is that big of an asshole.

That would assume Trump understands what “strategy” means. When he has demonstrated every step of the way that he wouldn’t recognize strategy if it bit him in his fat ass.
