The Night Donald Trump Undermined Democracy: Where’s All This Going, After the Election?
He refused to say whether he would follow the U.S. tradition of peaceful transfer of power, telling Wallace that he wanted to leave the American people “in suspense.”
This seemed to shock just about everyone, despite the fact that Trump has been saying this at every recent appearance. Apparently people thought that in the formal setting of a nationally televised debate he wouldn’t dare defy the norms of our electoral system, which is silly. That is what he does.
This is the man who challenged the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s U.S. birth for many years and only a few weeks ago conceded that he was an American citizen and therefore entitled to run for president. If you look at his comment above, you will see where he’s heading with Clinton.
Just as he questioned whether Obama should have been “allowed to run” because he had not adequately proven his citizenship, he is saying that Clinton shouldn’t have been “allowed to run” “based on what she did with emails and so many other things.” That’s what will make her victory illegitimate, not the vote count. As Rebecca Traister of New York magazine described it on Twitter, “this is false criminalization as birtherism.”
