So Donald Trump Said This
By 
It’s extraordinary that Chris Wallace had to ask this question of Donald Trump during a presidential debate: If he loses, will he accept the result of the election?
But what is even more stunning was Trump’s response: You’ll just have to wait and see.
“I will look at it at the time,” Trump said. He listed off his litany of complaints about the election. The media is biased. There are “millions of people registered to vote that shouldn’t be registered to vote,” he said, distorting a Pew Research Center report that was about voter registration systems rather than fraud. Clinton, he said, shouldn’t even be running in the first place.
Wallace pressed him again: “There is a tradition in this country, in fact one of the prides of this country is the peaceful transition of power, and that no matter how hard-fought a campaign is, that at the end of the campaign that the loser concedes to the winner. Not saying that you’re necessarily going to be the loser or the winner. But that the loser concedes to the winner, and that the country comes together in part for the good of the country. Are you saying you’re not prepared now to commit to that principle?”
And again, Trump wouldn’t say that he would. “I’ll tell you at the time,” he repeated. “I’ll keep you in suspense, okay?”
But Al Gore refused to concede an election whose outcome had not been determined, so really Both Sides Do It.
…at least the media seems to be avoiding “is democracy good? Views differ” for now:
