[quote]“Ladies and gentlemen, I want to make a major announcement today,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in Ohio. “I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election if I win.”
The comment came less than 24 hours after Mr. Trump, in the third and final debate showdown with Mrs. Clinton, declined to say whether he will respect the outcome of their race on Nov. 8.
“What I’m saying is that I will tell you at the time,” Mr. Trump said. “I’ll keep you in suspense. OK?”[/quote]

This sums it up quite nicely:

Weird how he's not really running a campaign anymore, he's just fucking around for 3 more weeks now. There's no ground operation and there's no effort to reach out to any new voters, Clinton is essentially unopposed as Trump just takes the time to feud with his enemies and jack off his supporters
It's fortunate that a lot of them are too young to vote, because Trump has the "if you killed me it's because you're hacking" sore-loser gamer crowd.

It's scary how many people still religiously support him despite how many insanely large red flags have surfaced over the course of the past month compared to the entire year which was already full of reg flags surrounding him
Could you find a print source for this, please? Videos are great, but SH is for written articles, or at least videos supplemented with a written article.
Also, I can't watch videos at the office!
i feel like trump would have a better chance of winning if he was like 5% less retarded

Trump will totally accept the election if it's rigged in his favour.
That a piece of shit.

Updated it with an article, the original article I found this on had literally nothing but a video but added both now.
This is par for the course for Trump. He's a fucking child. Of course, whether or not he pledges to accept a Clinton victory is completely irrelevant. He could promise to personally shake her hand and congratulate her on a great campaign if she won today, but if you reminded him of his own words tomorrow he'd just shout, "WRONG," and argue that reality is rigged.

I like this Donald Trump guy, I hope he wins
MAGA
Well I'm glad he cleared this up. I was wondering if he'd accept the results if he won.

Got any opinion on the fact he can't accept that it's possible for him to lose with out someone cheating?

I swear to god, if there's large scale on the night of the results because this fuck won't accept himself losing...
What an asswipe.
The elections are rigged, in the sense there's a politically, economically, and culturally predetermined outcome that, if it isn't reached, simply destroys the system by challenging the dominant ideology developed from practice. It's not like trump's nationalism or Bernie's socialism is exactly compatible with liberal democracy and capitalism as we have it. That's why brexit is an awkward position more than a triumph and sweeping systemic change, and millenials are in a unique position as the political future, being past America's golden age and into worsening inequality and social mobility, politically polarizing as a result, yet saturated with information and a global worldview thanks to the Internet.
The future is interesting if kinda bleak
This shouldn't be news. Is this how bad this election has gotten?

trump refusing to accept the outcome of the election in advance solely because he thinks he won't win is pretty big fucking news
Who cares whether he accepts the result or not? He still lost.

because a significant percentage of the population refusing to accept the result of the election as legitimate at his behest is terrifyingly dangerous?

Not going to lie, I saw this tweet before watching the video or reading the OP and thought this was just another parody of his words... [i]but then he actually said that[/i]
Trump would have won by a lot if 1) he shut the fuck up and 2) the election was held 4 months ago

the best he has ever done was tie with clinton, and that was just after his party convention and just before hers
he has never done anything more than barely tie for the entire campaign

Worst case scenario would be armed rebellion. While any loss of life is terrible, a bunch of uneducated rednecks shooting at the government is going to be crushed long before they have a chance of overthrowing it.
Somehow I doubt Trump's going to call election fraud after he loses. When people are so exhausted by this election, the vast majority of the country is going to tell him to fuck off. That, and Trump's all talk. When push comes to shove, he loses his balls, every time.
Like a toddler promising not to throw a tantrum if they get what they want

he had too much to answer for from his primary race to be able to win
