Most fucking definitely.

Of course Chiselin’ Trump won’t commit to accepting the results of the election. He’s deathly afraid that, should he lose, Clinton will throw him in jail, as he previously threatened to do to Clinton should she lose.

No, little Donnie-boy just can’t take the emotional disruption of ever losing at anything. Look for him to be institutionalized by his family once he loses. There, a psychiatrist will help him to finally accept the fact that Daddy didn’t love him.

He’s been saying that for a week now.

Are we all that surprised?

One other thing that Steve Schmidt said in the same interview that was significant coming from a Republican, and you could tell he was feeling some pretty strong emotion when he said it: Now is the time for Ryan and the Republican leaders to put the country ahead of politics, have some courage, and denounce Trump’s position.

I have absolutely no confidence that Ryan, much less McConnell, will get past their cynicism to do that. They don’t have any history as profiles in courage.

Delegitimizing a President seems to be the Republicans position, they’ve been do that to Obama for u years.
So this is a clear sign, that it’ll be business as usual under Hillary.

I’ve got to say that IF TRUMP were to be become President, at the end of his term, we can safely say he may NEVER leave…HE may rule that he will be President for life and after he’s dead pass it forward to one of his STUPID SONS,

We’re going FIRE EVERY REPUBLICAN IN OFFICE…Mark my words.

Trump to Bannon: ā€œTransfer of Power? Is that a thing? I didn’t know that was a thing.ā€

So neither can Trump make up his mind if he is running against president Obama or Bill Clinton, he also seems to think he is running for a 3rd world country dictatorship.

Not really, but it has always been walked back by his surrogates. No walking away from it this time around.

Thanks for that –

Correct … Trump will be a mere pebble in the road toward progress —

They won’t. McConnell in particular is just as much an insurrectionist as Trump.

It is pretty clear that McConnell is obstructionist through and through. He hates the presidency because he can never have it. Everything he has done is to undermine the executive. The man is below the line.

It is also part of the sociopath bullying personality that he, Bannon and Bossie share. Their whole tactic has been, since they are not winning, to make what is left of the campaign as unpleasant as possible to the entire country and the media who refuse to sing his praises every day. This is what he does to the contractors who thought they had lucked out by having a $100,000 contract with Donald J. Trump and his organization, He withholds his approval of their work, and payment, and slowly they realize he is not going to pay them but will chisel them out of their payment. He thinks he can pull some analogue of this bullying operation here, and show his narcissistic disapproval for the media and the people who didnt vote for him. The entire GOP opposition to Obama has been consistent with this bullying sociopathic pattern, so they really should not be shocked, as you say.

"…Brit Hume characterized Trump’s refusal to commit to conceding as ā€œthe headline out of this debate. That doesn’t happen usually in America,ā€ Hume said. ā€œIt’s a big deal.ā€

As Hillary pointed out it happens all the time when Donald loses, which is quite often.

What people don’t seem to understand, is that this means Trump won.

To him, I mean.

Whoever they’re talking about after the debate, is the winner. In his lard-filled, decaying brain.

Well, you see, even should he lose, he’s likely to get 50-60 MILLION votes.

And nobody knows (not even Donnie) what those votes can be cashed in for.

We won’t know until he cashes them in.

If he goes ā€œfull Baldwinā€ he may call on them to grab their shotguns, and meet him in D.C. where they attempt a coup.

He’s already (RIGHT NOW) talking about ā€œdraining the swamp called Washington D.C.ā€

Now, how would a president do that? He couldn’t. It’s up to the voters. Unless…

Time to call Trump what he is… Banana Republican.

One thing about this that didn’t occur to me until this morning: it would have been so easy for Trump to have his cake and eat it too on this. He could of said something along the lines of ā€œonce the election has been verified and we know it’s fair, candidates should of course concede.ā€ That would have gone down just fine, I suspect. But he didn’t want to do that, because he wants to say that he gets to decide everything, including maintaining ā€œsuspenseā€ over how the election will be decided. I think that, rather than the pure substance of what he said, is what’s most troubling. Trump could have embraced a ā€˜we’ here, but his ego got in the way, and identified him for the rule-breaking, power-loving narcissist that he is. When Joe Scarborough asks what Trump said that was wrong, zeroing in on the idea that it is of course reasonable to wait to say if he’s going to challenge the results, that’s what Morning Joe is missing. It’s the refusal to grant that what anyone else thinks about the election matters, and the insistence that until the last moment he reserves the right to burn the house down.
