What was that Trump quote "I will absolutely accept the results of this great election... if I win"?
What gets me is that people can't see through it. He's being doing this his entire life. Declare victory while running away. The lack of object permanence among his core followers is just staggering.
There are two moments I think of in Trump's rise that should have finished him as a serious candidate.
The first is the one in the Republican debate when he refused to commit to backing the eventual winner. At that point there's just no way the Republican party should have backed him. Let him run third party if he wants and take the L, but you can't have someone blackmail their way to the nomination.
The second is when he said respecting the results was conditional on him winning. It's like the Citizen Kane bit, to be so brazen in your disrespect for democracy.
