    How did it ever become relevant whether the loser accepts the result?
    The result should obviously be decided by a non corrupt competent body, oh… never mind.

      It is relevant in that the loser is the elected nominee for his party and has many people who look up to him and follow his lead. If the loser accepts his defeat gracefully, the people who look up to him are more likely to accept the results and less likely to cause trouble. It doesn’t matter who decides the results and how non-corrupt they are if a corrupt loser sows doubt in the results and makes his followers think they have been cheated, particularly when the majority of his party joins in instead of ostracizing him for being a liar.

        Exactly, Republicans are all in on the violence, or they wouldn’t nominate him. They know what he is, and they like it.

        Has there ever been a democrat presidential candidate who ever said he/she wouldn’t accept not winning?

        This insanity is exclusively something the Republicans say.

            Yeah that “real America” rhetoric is getting pretty tiresome. Apparently you have to be a moron to be a real American.

              It’s a common thing the clueless like to say about small towns, believing everyone thinks like they do.
