less than 24 hours after all right, so gloria, you refusing to say he would accept hear what he s saying. your reaction. well, this is like comparing the results of the presidential election donald trump is doing a an apple to an elephant. they re two completely different things. first of all, al gore did not reversal perhaps trying to undo the damage his debate comments charge the election was rigged incited. many republicans have been before the election. he actually did call bush and outraged over trump s claims of this rigged election. he s been saying there s widespread concede that night because it looked like florida had gone for bush. when he discovered that and even jeb bush says this, when he discovered that the state was so close that the secretary of state, they couldn t certify the election, he did unconcede because the votes needed to be counted. automatic recount. automatic recount. half of 1%. and when donald trump talks about the legal suits and all the rest, t

look at that sound bite again because i think this is the key sound bite. here it is. moammar gadhafi. okay. he has denied his people freedom. wow. exploited their wealth. wow. murdered opponents at home and abroad. all over the place. and terrorized innocent people around the world, including americans. americans. who were killed by libyan agents. killed by libyan agents. killed by libyan agents. fox, how come you guys aren t leading with that? you mean to tell me that this guy is a nice guy? there should be no debate. we ought to be kicking his ass, right? if bush said those words conservatives would have been cheering the president and they d have been wrapping themselves in the flag but you see those days are over. we got a democrat in the white house and he s calling the shots right now and he s fighting terror just like he said he was going to do when he was on the campaign trail and they just don t like that. a democrat is the commander in
