Donald Trump digs a deeper hole

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/20/politics/presidential-debate-affect-on-campaign/index.html

Excerpt:

"I will look at it at the time," Trump said when asked whether he would concede if he loses on November 8. "I will keep you in suspense."

To emphasize the extraordinary nature of Trump's statement, Clinton responded: "That's horrifying."

The comments -- combined with a knock on Clinton as a "nasty woman" and a quip about "bad hombres" -- is certain to dominate the political conversation in the remaining 19 days of the race. Though Clinton enjoys a commanding lead in the polls, the overwhelming narrative is likely to be about Trump's potential refusal to accept defeat might trigger a historic confrontation in the days following the election.

Exasperated Republicans have no choice but to once again weather the fallout. It's an especially tough task for Senate Republicans facing voters next month, as those who have not already disowned their party's nominee could come under renewed pressure to do so.


...Ultimately, the debate was one more missed opportunity for Trump to tackle his biggest handicap -- the widespread perception that he lacks the temperament to be president. That could very well prove to be fatal...


Trump and his campaign are in LaLa land right now...... Will he incite his followers to take up their guns on election night when he loses?

Trump's comment about keeping us in suspense was complete reality show crapola. This person is missing the big piece called "adult."

The VoteMaster over at www.electoralvote.com has a very EXCELLENT analogy of last night's debate:

Third Debate is Dangerously...Presidential
http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2016/Pres/Maps/Oct20.html#item-1

Excerpts:

....But once they took their positions, and Fox News' Chris Wallace got started, the two candidates discussed the Supreme Court, the Second Amendment, Roe v. Wade, and immigration reform. If one simply read the transcript, and had no visual or auditory information, it might almost have passed for a Romney-Obama debate.

Unfortunately for Trump, substance is something that Clinton does better than he does, so the advantage was hers throughout most of the evening. In fact, this was overall her strongest performance among her three meetings with Trump. She explained a number of her policy positions in detail. She also got off some good bon mots, such as when she was discussing the value of her lengthy experience in politics, and she said, "And on the day when I was in the Situation Room, monitoring the raid that brought Osama bin Laden to justice, he was hosting the 'Celebrity Apprentice.'" Or when she brought up the six-foot self-portrait of himself that The Donald purchased with Trump Foundation money, and said, "Who does that?" Clinton also had a novel response ready for addressing Trump's claims that the election will be rigged:

You know, every time Donald thinks things are not going in his direction, he claims whatever it is, is rigged against him.

The FBI conducted a year-long investigation into my e-mails. They concluded there was no case; he said the FBI was rigged. He lost the Iowa caucus. He lost the Wisconsin primary. He said the Republican primary was rigged against him. Then Trump University gets sued for fraud and racketeering; he claims the court system and the federal judge is rigged against him. There was even a time when he didn't get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged against him.

This was already a pretty good line of attack, making clear that Trump cannot handle defeat in large matters or in trivial ones. But The Donald, who apparently just can't help himself, actually helped her sell the point by interrupting the Emmy line and declaring "Should have gotten it."

Clinton's performance was not flawless, of course. She fumbled a handful of questions, particularly on the Wikileaks emails. And now that all the debates are over, we can say for certain that she's never going to come up with a decent answer to questions about her shifting positions on the TPP. Still, she had to be very pleased with how the night went.....



....Trump's real problem is that there are only three moments that anyone's really going to remember from the debate, and all three of them work against him. In third place is the moment during Clinton's closing statement, when he saw fit to cut in and hiss, "Such a nasty woman." For someone trying to convince voters that he's not a bully and an abuser of the other sex, this probably doesn't help.

In second place is this exchange:

Clinton: Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger. He goes after their dignity, their self-worth, and I don't think there is a woman anywhere who doesn't know what that feels like. So we now know what Donald thinks and what he says and how he acts toward women. That's who Donald is. Trump: Nobody has more respect for women than I do. Nobody.

This one was a double whammy for The Donald. First, because most commentators agreed that it was Clinton's best line of the entire evening. And second, because after Trump issued forth with his response, the audience—which had been warned over and over to remain silent—could not help themselves, and broke out into laughter. Ouch.

Finally, the most significant moment of the evening, and the one that is going to get the lion's share of the coverage, is this one:

Wallace: Your running mate, Governor Pence, pledged on Sunday that he and you -- his words—"will absolutely accept the result of this election." Today your daughter, Ivanka, said the same thing. I want to ask you here on the stage tonight: Do you make the same commitment that you will absolutely -- sir, that you will absolutely accept the result of this election?

Trump: I will look at it at the time. I'm not looking at anything now. I'll look at it at the time.

Take it to the bank, the headlines are all going to be: "Trump refuses to commit to accepting election results." It also did not help that Kellyanne Conway, appearing in the spin room after the debate, insisted that fraud would not be a problem because Trump is going to win. If the Trump campaign had actual proof of fraud—say, that electronic voting machines had been compromised—it should theoretically throw any result, even a Trump victory, into question. What Conway's declaration reveals is that the only "proof" they will have is a Clinton victory....

Anyone remember Al Gore?  Did he concede the 2000 election the night of the election?  How many times did Al Gore contest and file suit?

8 Times Liberals Claimed An Election Was Stolen Or Rigged
Everyone has taken to dismissing Donald Trump's claims that the election is rigged. Here are eight times liberals claimed an election had been or would be stolen.

By Bre Payton
OCTOBER 19, 2016

Over the past couple of weeks, Donald Trump has ramped up complaints that the election process is rigged in favor of Hillary Clinton. Many have been quick to dismiss his claims and have been acting like he’s crazy for saying as much.

On Tuesday, President Obama lashed out at the GOP nominee during a press conference at the White House, saying that Trump’s gripes are historically unprecedented and that he should stop “whining.”

“I have never seen in my lifetime or in modern political history any presidential candidate trying to discredit the election process before votes have even taken place,” he said.

Obama’s memory must be pretty short, so I’ve compiled this list to remind him — and everyone else — of eight times liberals claimed an election was or would be stolen.

Sorry to defy your bullshit, but Trump is the only current candidate claiming that if he loses the election the contest was rigged, as you very well know ...

Your opinion piece cites one person making such a statement.

Which party has been creating violence?  The Democrats by infiltrating the Trump rallies have created numerous disturbances.  Have you not been watching the news?

The country is vastly more divided today, due to Lame Duck President Barack Hussein Obama.

What has been done by the Black Lives Matter gang?
