Sounds like a reasonable position to take. He's really saying if the election is on the up & up
with no leftwing shenanigans going on he'll accept the outcome.

'Which is really a hard thing to do! But it's easy if fraud is involved.'

'One was a Republican,' he said, 'and after death became a Democrat. It's true.'

Trump also cited numbers showing that '2.8 million people are registered in more than one state' and '14 per cent of noncitizens are registered to vote.'


'You understand where I'm coming from, right?' he asked.

Donald Trump threw a head-fake at the nation on Thursday, stopping short of saying he will concede the November election to Hillary Clinton if he doesn't emerge victorious.
'I want to make a major announcement today,' he began his speech at a campaign rally in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.
'I would like to promise and pledge to all my voters and supporters, and to all the people of the United States, that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election – if I win.'

I won't back down: On Thursday Trump claimed fraud could run rampant and insisted he would decide later whether to put up a fight if the election





Applause rang out as Trump fans let out a sigh of relief at the sound of their hero sticking to his guns.
Trump generated countless headlines, and condemnation from Democrats, for saying in Wednesday's final presidential debate that he would take a wait-and-see approach to accepting the election result doesn't go his way.
On Thursday he claimed fraud could run rampant and insisted he would decide later whether to put up a fight if the election .
'Of course I would accept a clear election result,' Trump said, 'but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result.'
'We want fairness in the election,' he boomed, citing Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta saying in a hacked and leaked email that illegal immigrants can vote as long as they have drivers licenses.'
'What I'm saying,' Trump added, thinking out loud in a suddenly hushed voice, 'is, "Don't be naive, folks. Don't be naive".'




Trump cited statistics from the Pew Research Center showing 24 million voter registrations in the United States that are questionable, including those of deceased Americans whose names haven't been removed from the voter rolls.
'1.8 million people are dead but they're registered to vote,' Trump told about 1,200 Ohioans, 'some of whom vote even though they're dead.'
'Which is really a hard thing to do! But it's easy if fraud is involved.'
'One was a Republican,' he said, 'and after death became a Democrat. It's true.'
Trump also cited numbers showing that '2.8 million people are registered in more than one state' and '14 per cent of noncitizens are registered to vote.'
'You understand where I'm coming from, right?' he asked.
Challenging a presidential election would be a difficult feat unless one or two states' vote tallies were split evenly enough to be contested with recounts and court cases.
That's what happened in 2000 when Democrat Al Gore refused to accept a loss in Florida, the state that ultimately put Republican George W. Bush in the White House.
After an automatic recount, triggered by a near-50-50 result, Gore appealed to the state Supreme Court, which sided with him and declared that additional recounting should continue.
The Bush camp filed an emergency request with the U.S. Supreme Court, which ultimately sided with the Republican and overruled Florida's high court.
On election night, Gore famously called Bush to congratulate him before making a second call to take it back.

Debate moment: Chris Wallace, the debate moderator on Wednesday night, asked Trump to promise to accept the outcome of the election. But he declined saying: 'I will look at it at the time.'

'Horrifying': Hillary Clinton pounced on the Republican's position on the election results as he dropped the bombshell at the debate

And he never conceded that he lost Florida – only that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision was final
This time around, Trump could stall the appointment of presidential electors – the people who actually cast the final votes reflecting the way their state elections ended up – until state-level elections are certified by election officials.
If enough states' results are in question after polls close, the process could drag out for days or weeks. And lawyers from both parties would descend on the affected states like locusts, poring through ballots to search for advantages.
However, if Trump or Clinton has an Electoral College lead large enough that swinging razor-thin margins in one or two states wouldn't change who wins the White House, there would be no point in fighting the inevitable.
In 2000 the voting margin in New Mexico was even narrower than in Florida. Gore won the state's five electoral votes, but they wouldn't have been enough to give either candidate the magic number of 270. So the nation's attention focused on the Sunshine State instead.
But even if Trump lost by a sizable number of electoral votes, his campaign could still pull the trigger on an unusual long-shot approach: arguing that some state laws governing elections are flawed or unconstitutional.
Issues on the table might include the lack of voter ID laws in some states, although it would be a tough hill to climb. In August the Supreme Court struck down a North Carolina law that required IDs to vote, agreeing with the U.S. Justice Department's claim that it put minorities at a disadvantage.
Voters must show IDs to vote in more than 30 states. Their laws weren't affected by the August ruling. But results in even some of those states could be questioned if it can be shown that non-citizens with driver's licenses slipped through the cracks and cast ballots.

Throwback Thursday: Trump's decision to only accept a victory as valid has led to his aides citing Al Gore's example. He conceded the presidency on December 13 - after losing at the Supreme Court

Twelve states and the District of Columbia currently allow illegal immigrants to get licenses if they can show a foreign birth certificate or passport. They include Nevada and Colorado, two key battleground states where close voting margins could lead to a new kind of constitutional fight.
With Utah in play for the first time in decades, the Beehive State's loose driver's licensing standards could also be challenged.
Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta wrote in 2015 that illegal immigrants who come to polling places in 'voter ID' states and lie about their citizenship could easily vote.
'If you show up on Election Day with a driver’s license with a picture, attest that you are a citizen, you have a right to vote in Federal elections,' he wrote to campaign adviser Joel Benenson in an email published this week by WikiLeaks.
Thousands of emails were hacked from Podesta's account in a coordinated action the Clinton campaign says was orchestrated by Russian intelligence operators.
Fighting illegal immigration has been one of Trump's consistent campaign themes. Clinton has sided with so-called 'dreamers' and other unlawful border-crossers, hinting at a path to citizenship if she becomes president.
Trump's lawyers could challenge vote totals in touch-screen machines if they had evidence that they were unreliable.
In Pennsylvania, the machines are aging relics. A race in the Keystone State that's declared too close to call could remain that way for weeks as every one of them is examined, data-dumped and given a clean – or dirty – bill of health.

At least sports betting is voluntary. If you think the game is fixed, don't bet. Simple.

The stakes are much higher with the prospect of being forced to live under this wicked witch.

Trump is a brawler and won't accept defeat so naturally the left is whining.

Progressives are whining?!?! As Hillary pointed out, Rump has whined about Republican caucus results, court cases, even Emmy results, and WE'RE the ones whining? You are truly a Mega Moron...

 

[Dave007inVegas]

Trump will be forced to accept the results, win or lose.

Just like us.

:lolBIG:

I can see why an emasculated male like you would believe fighting a "rigged" system is whining. If only everyone meekly bent over like Raiderhater taking it up the ass we'd have Utopia On Earth!

How about instead of "whining", Trump inspires his millions of freedom-loving Patriots to start shooting the morning after? Would that satisfy you, fat blubber-bellied moose cock-sucking POS??

Trump Delaware County

"One of the big issues that came up last night was the fact that the Clinton Campaign has paid people to disrupt our rallies and incite violence. This is criminal behavior that violates centuries of tradition on peaceful, Democratic elections.

A campaign like Clinton’s that will incite violence is truly a campaign that will do anything.

And a candidate, like Hillary Clinton, who will lie to the Congress and the FBI, destroy 33,000 emails, put her office up for sale, and put our confidential information in reach of our enemies – is a candidate who is truly capable of anything.

In addition, it was just learned, Hillary was given the exact debate questions, word for word, by Donna Brazile – who is now under tremendous pressure to resign. But I ask you, why shouldn’t Hillary Clinton resign from the race – she was given the questions, used the questions, and never said that she did something that was totally inappropriate?

Years ago there was a show called the $64,000 question – he got the questions in advance, his life was ruined. This is even bigger, because we are playing for the presidency of the United States.

Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt person ever to seek the office of the Presidency.

So it’s in that context I was asked a question about whether I would agree, in advance, to concede the results on election night. This is an unprecedented question. If Al Gore or George Bush had agreed 3 weeks before the election to concede the results and waive their right to a legal challenge or a recount, then there would be no Supreme Court case and no Bush V. Gore.

In effect, I’m being asked to waive centuries of legal precedent designed to protect the franchise of voters.

According to Pew, there are 24 million voter registrations in the United States that are either invalid or significantly inaccurate.

1.8 million dead people are registered to vote (some of whom vote even though they are dead – which is a hard thing to do, but easy if fraud is involved).
2.8 million people are registered in more than one state.
And 14% of non-citizens are registered to vote.


So what I'm saying is, we have to be vigilant and we have to be careful.

America is a Constitutional Republic with a system of laws. These laws are triggered in the case of fraud, or in the event a recount is needed.


Of course I would accept a clear election result, but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result. I will follow and abide by all of the rules and traditions of all the candidates who came before me.


But, none of this will matter, since we are going to win big on November 8th."
