3rd Debate: Danger Ahead

Wednesday night ended up being the return of the primary theme of this year's election: Hillary cares, Donald scares. We saw this dichotomy during the respective conventions, and we saw it play out in this final debate.

But last night, there was a major twist in the debate, and then today he doubled down on it: He'll only accept the results of the election if he wins.

Last night, when asked whether he would accept the results of the election, he stated, "What I'm saying is that I will tell you at the time. I'll keep you in suspense. OK?"

Today, he clarified, "I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election -- if I win."

Forget everything else that happened last night, Donald preemptively declared himself the next President, no matter what. That's dangerous rhetoric, and he's the most dangerous candidate in the history of the US.

His candidacy was always humorous in itself, but now he's fully walked past the red line and become a very dangerous man. He just openly posed an existential threat to the Democratic Republic, and we need to take this threat seriously.
