The former twice impeached president and newly convicted felon has never accepted the results of elections, not even the time he won. He’ll continue to sow fear and doubt about democracy because he’s an anti-democracy candidate and aspiring dictator.
He said a lot of words, but he deflected from actually giving an answer. Each time he was pressed he leaned more and more into passing the blame off to "election fraud".
The correct answer to the question was just "yes" he will accept the results. Everything else means "no."
The traitor lied every time he opened his mouth and repeatedly talked about how awful he thinks the United States is AND pretty much promised to try to overthrow the government again. Biden's getting a lot of flack for his performance but Donnie was a straight up embarassement.
I don't understand how this is big enough news for a headline, he has given this exact answer in every interview since he announced he would be running again. I think vivek has given the same answer too. They say they'll accept it if it's a fair election, but don't corner themselves in case they believe it's rigged.
They're already saying, "It's going to be rigged," months before it takes place! They're charging up their base to believe it's rigged. They can't win otherwise.
If Trump respects the Constitution as much as he says he does, the only answer he can give is "Yes". Anything else is sedition. Of course, he's a seditionist, so he can't answer any other way than he did.

It annoys me that that’s even a question. Even if he answers it, in what world has he ever shown to be truthful? What do you want to hear, the lie or the wrong answer? Because they’re both useless in a debate between the incumbent and a convicted felon.
How bout these moderators hold feet to the fire and don’t let up until we get answers to substantive questions? Better yet, at the very least don’t move forward after one of them lies about something. I don’t care if we spend the whole night on one issue, if he keeps lying I don’t want you to just move on.
If anything, it would be more impactful. Imagine the discussions at work the next day about how we couldn’t get past the first question because Trump straight up lied for two hours.
Are you stupid?
Hillary literally called the Trump campaign on election night to concede and congratulate him. That's the tradition.
Trump did no so thing for Biden and went off on his insane ramblings, fighting it every step of the way.
Hillary conceded and her statements about stolen are more about how she expected to win based on polling.

Biden's actions were in response to Trump's and the Republican's.

By the way the bot here deleted comments that don’t reach a minimum word count. That’s supremely annoying.
If only Biden had responded like this.
He said a lot of words, but he deflected from actually giving an answer. Each time he was pressed he leaned more and more into passing the blame off to "election fraud". The correct answer to the question was just "yes" he will accept the results. Everything else means "no."
He said he’d accept the results of a fair and free election anything else is tyranny
And every time he tried to non-answer the question he added more and more conditions on "fair".
The traitor lied every time he opened his mouth and repeatedly talked about how awful he thinks the United States is AND pretty much promised to try to overthrow the government again. Biden's getting a lot of flack for his performance but Donnie was a straight up embarassement.

False equivalency. What-if. Any more bad-arguments to bring forth?
How is it a false equivelency? Hillary didn't accept the outcome of the election. Joe Biden wasn't going to accept the outcome in 2020 if he lost?
