Cspan wj is our transit twithle handle. Post a comment at facebook. Com cspan. This story continues to make front page news just about everywhere were looking this morning. Heres the Washington Post piece by Phillip Rucker and robert kosta. The headline says trumps fusal o honor the outcome as well as g. O. P. Angst. A wave of anguish september the Republican Party with many g. O. P. Leaders alarmed by Donald Trumps refusal to accept the outcome of the election and concluding its too late to salvage his flailing campaign. As the republican nominee reeled from the performance in the debate on tuesday, senator and house members scrambled to protect their seats and preserve the g. O. P. s congressional majorities against what republicans privately acknowledge could be a landslide victory for Hillary Clinton. With 19 days now until the election, the party is in a state of historic turmoil, writes the post, encapsulated by trumps extraordinarily extraordinary debate declaration he would leave the nation in suspense about whether he would recognize the results from an election he claimed would be rigged or stolen. The post goes on to say the immediate responses from republican officials were divergent and vague with no Clear Strategy on how to handle trumps threat. The candidate was defiant and would not back away from his position telling that roaring crowd yesterday in ohio that he would accept the results, as we just heard, if i win. And reserving his right to legally challenge the results should he fall short. We should point out elsewhere in his speech mr. Trump elaborated a little further on what he actually means by what hes been saying. Heres a look. Americas a Constitutional Republic with a system of laws. These laws are triggered in the case of fraud or in the event of a recount where its 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. Cheers and applause] and always i will follow and abide by all of the rules and traditions of all of the many candidates who have come before me. Always. Bottom line, were going to win. Were going to win. Were going to win so big. Were going to win so big. Host before we get to your calls, one more point in this post piece this season. For seasoned republicans who have watched trump warily, they write, the aftermath of wednesdays debate brought a feeling finality. The campaign is over, said steve the dt, a trump calling refusal to accept the Election Results disqualifying, he added the question is how close will clinton get to 400 electoral votes. Shell be north of 350 and trending towards 400 antitrend line is taking place in red states likes georgia, texas, and arizona. We have dolores on the line from portland, oregon. Clinton supporter, thanks for getting up so early today. Caller thank you for taking my call. I would just like to say that, you know, i have a lot of conflict, but the truth of it all is that i will accept, you know, whatever the outcome of the vote is, whether hillary wins or lose even though, you know, i just see no merit in a donald trump presidency. And one other thought that comes to my mind is that, you know, everybody talks about, well, if donald lose about what all of his supporters who are not going to accept the nomination . Well, these people have always, always been there. And they have always been who they are. This is nothing new. The media tries to say they are left out and feel neglected. No, the truth of it all is that the nation is changing and that they can no longer will the weeled the kind of power and suppress the people the way they have been doing. But whether he wins or lose, or however, i will accept the nomination. Host hear from eric in white plains, maryland. Trump supporter, good morning. Caller good morning, cspan. And thank you for allowing me to speak. I will accept the results. I will accept it because i dont have any choice. What choice do i have . What choice does the American People have when the establishment place Hillary Clinton in power. Remember, Hillary Clinton, the selection in the Democratic Party was never fair because they have already elected Hillary Clinton. Thats why trump is saying its rigged. But the voting is not rigged because i still think that American People can vote. And also i have a message, this one for my Black Brothers and my hispanic brothers. Remember, Hillary Clinton, the democrat, every election promise you everything, but what has really changed in the lives of my Black Brothers on this our first black president . For hispanic, what has already changed in your life . Actually owe bama more hispanic than any other president. Have a good day. Host undecided voter, from laurel, maryland, it is emerson. Emerson is calling this morning. Laurel, maryland. Go ahead. Caller thank you for the opportunity. What i want to say is that i will definitely accept the election no matter who wins. Saying right is now, just give me the causing fact to think about hillary a little bit because i was having a trust issue as well with hillary, but the way trump is saying this thing that he wont accept the election, and im thinking about this, im a foreigner. I came from africa, west africa. What other nation like africa, like theyll be looking when they do their election, how will they learn from the United States if trump is saying everything is rigged . You are condemning the United States that have the best system i can think of in the world. It makes me just be afraid of him. Host thank you for the perspective. From your time in africa to hear. Let me ask you, not much time left, within three weeks. Undecided. How are you going to get there in terms of a position of who oure going to vote for . Caller im also waiting to hear more from hillary and trump. It ally if Donald TrumpsSay Something like changing his mind on this election and just come out plain and said, you know what, im going to accept the election no matter how if hillary wins or i win, thats going to make me think twice. You know what . Hes get into his right mind. Without him saying all those things i guess im leaning more toward hillary. Host thank you for calling, emerson. To that last caller and anybody looking to hear more from the candidates, well have two more live events today. First at 4 00 today right here on cspan. Donald trump. Hell hold a rally in johnstown, pennsylvania. And just about at the same time, the same hour, 4 30 p. M. , Hillary Clinton will be in cleveland, ohio. That will be live, 4 30 p. M. On cspan2. You can watch both those events tonight in prime time on cspan as well. Heres a little bit about what president obama had to say about donald trump and his approach to the results of the election. The president was in south florida yesterday. When last night at the debate trump becomes the First Major Party nominee in American History to suggest that he will losing the espite vote, and then says today that he will accept the results if he ns, that is not a joking matter. No, no. I want everybody to Pay Attention here. That is dangerous. Because when you try to sew the seeds of sow the seeds of doubt in peoples minds about the legitimacy of elections, that undermines our democratcy. Then youre doing the work of our adversaries for them. Because our democracy depends on people knowing that their vote matters. That those who occupy the seats of power were chosen by the people. Even when your preferred candidate loses, even when you are the one who is running and you lose, youve got to see the Bigger Picture and say, that here in america we believe in democracy and we accept the will of the people. Host heres a little bit from the rnc chairman also in this post piece. He intended the trump and party would stand by the results unless the margin is small enough to warrant a recount or legal challenges. He said trump is merely preserving flexibility in the event of a contested result. All hes saying is, look, im not going to for go my right in a recount. We accept the results as long as were not talking about a few votes where it matters. I know him. I know where his heads at. I promise you thats all this is. Bob calling from clifton heights, pa, a trump supporter. Good morning. Caller good morning. Host what do you think about all this, sir . Caller i love the way cspan is throwing the articles about hillary how shes going to win. Thats great. Good move there, guys. Listen, the debate the other night when hillary said to very smugly looked at trump and said the night she was monitoring the attack and killing of bin laden and where were you . You were doing your apprentice show. And he should have said to her, well, where were you the night of benghazi . And where was president clinton . Those questions have never been answered. Im wondering why hasnt the Trump Campaign picked up on that . Host why do you think . Ller i have no idea because ill leave it to you guys. You guys seem to be doing a good job for hillary. Host bob, you still there . Bob, you still there . Bobs gone. Wanted to get a sense why he thinks were doing a good job for Hillary Clinton. Linda from oklahoma. You are a clinton supporter. Tell us about the results of the election. Are you one thats going to accept them. No matter what . Caller yes, will i accept them. Will i ack then. I want to encourage people to vote. If you think hillary will lynn wynn by a landslide, still vote. If people stay home from the polls we could get a surprise. Host what do you make about this whole part of the discussion about accepting the results from wednesdays debate to yesterdays remarks . Put it in perspective for the broader campaign, linda. Caller well, i believe in the United States of america. And i believe that for the greatest part that we are honest people. And we need to cast our votes and take us where we think that it will do the best good for all the people. I will accept them. Host maryland marilyn in engelwood,town tfpblet youre a trump supporter. You ready to accept the results . Caller ill accept the results because theres nothing can i do. Heres two things i wanted to bring up. Umber one, al gore in 2000 challenged bush vote. And it went all the way to the court. So trump is not the first person to do this. Its been going on back and forth all through history. Number two, is that i heard the speech yesterday, i heard him say that i thought oh, boy, here we go. One sentence, one word. Thats it. Because he then proceeded to go on and started to laugh and said seriously, folks, then he explained his position. But they dont want to post they dont want to talk about that. Three words, and i knew this is what was going to be on tv from here to california. And i was right. But we need to look deeper sometimes and not just pick and choose a word here and a sentence here and say actually what these people are saying underneath. Host marilyn, thank you for your points this morning. In the post a little bit more to the point that our last caller just made. Other Trump Supporters took a different interpretation of whats going on. Keith kellogg, a retired Army Lieutenant general accused the media of splitting hairs and insisting the trump was not threatening democratic norms. Giuliani argue the any republican would be stupid to accept the integrity of the results before they are known. Suppose she wins pennsylvania by 50 votes, speck lated democrats would steal a lot more than 50 votes in philadelphia. I guarantee you of that. Ill tell you how theyll do t theyll bust people in who will vote for dead people. Names, four, five, six times or have people in philadelphia paid to vote three, four, five times. That from Rudy Giuliani in the post today. We have selena on the line from lake city, florida, clinton supporter. Hi. Caller how are you . Host doing fine. How are you . Caller good. As an immigrant m from brazil 26 years ago and. I have a daughter in medical school. I have a son is doing great things for american. We all pay taxes. We all contribute for the contributions. And been paying taxes for the last 26 years theyll put me in jail. How come he get away with this . And look, in the debate the her day, everyones talking, how can we trust somebody like him . Look at his temper. Its bad. We dont need that. Americans are better than this. Please, please, look at them. Imagine if he have the power to, you know, go to the middle east or other countries, hell go and kill people. Host thank you. Donna calling from new york. Third party caller. Whats your perspective on this . Will you accept the results of the election, what do you make of this whole part of the debate right now . Caller you have to put it into historical context. One real quick primus of people would be the movie, american blackout. That looked at what happened in florida and other various techniques that were used to manipulate the vote. You have an unusual alignment of Political Forces in this election with clinton. Both republican and democratic elites are there. You have two or multipolicity, but two main trends of vote manipulation, one followed by the democrats, another by the republicans. For example the republicans tend to try to suppress the vote in urban areas among black voters and minority voters, ethnic voters, the democrats have other methods that they use to manipulate the vote, and all of those now are available to the Clinton Campaign against trump. For him to raise the question for people to dismiss it out of hand is absurd. Its historical. Thats my context for that. Host anything else, don . Caller yeah. I think what has to happen remember john kerry back in 2004, telling supporters that were not going to allow bush to steal the election again. I have 98 lawyers ready to go fight and all that. Then he conceded before sun rise the next day when it was clear later that ohio had probably been stolen. Its really hard to find a democratic politician who has been in office or in practice since the 2000 election that didnt take a strong public position on the assert the fact that this does happen in our politics and it happened to them. Its really hypocritical for them to act this way. Host before we let you go. Third party, who are you looking at this year . Caller jill stein without a doubt. Host how come . Caller i probably would prefer ideologically the party for socialism and liberation candidate because shes a community organizer. And monica moya for the same reason. Jill stein has been at this for a good while. A good command of the facts. A Green Party Platform for the economy to help working people. Called the green new deal. I think thats whats needed. To give voice to that with my vote im very happy to do. Host thanks for calling. More of your calls in a moment. Dave writes at facebook, yes, hell accept the results. If their shenanigans hopefully the perpetrators will be dealt with severely. I would feel better if there were voter i. D. Blair writes, not like we have much of a choice. The media has already appointed clinton anyways. Angela says, if trump wins, of course, hell accept the results. With all that talk about voter fraud thank to wiki leaks im not trusting it. And tracy writes, yes, like everyone who accept the Supreme Court decision in 2000, just like in 2000 there will be those who will not accept the Election Results, jump up and down and be angry, just like 2000 the rest of the country will move on without them anyway. Linda from dallas, texas, donald trump supporter. Good morning. Caller hi. Host go ahead. Caller i would like all the voters to check out vare its. Com because its varitas. Com because its videotape of thugged hired by the d. N. C. Thats gone all the way up to hillary to the protesters were paid 1,500 a piece to hit people and create all of the turmoil at the republican rallies. And they also talked about voter fraud. They talked about how they were going to bus people in and it was easy to commit voter fraud as long as they were on buses. It was a lot harder to commit voter fraud if they drove up in cars. The only place in america the public can get the true news is cspan, fox, and the religious networks. All the other networks are in the tank for the one world globalists, the progressive liberals. And a vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for this nation. Host gloria, in texas, go ahead. Caller yes. Trump is im for clinton. For many obvious reasons, but all through his Campaign Something that doesnt go his way, he highs says rigged. I dont know of anyone else, but a little inds me of kid, the rich kid on the block, has the ball, goes to play with his friends, and if something doesnt go his way he takes the ball and leaves. Thats his options. Host gloria, let me ask you some of the pushback that donald trump gave and Rudy Giuliani gave later they are not negligencely saying they wont accept the result period, but not right away if its especially close. That make a difference to you . Caller i would hope so because. Think that we would show is almost like a dictator, he has that mentality. Plus, i
