Donald Trump heavily criticised for possibly not wanting to accept election results - Read more
Donald Trump's stunning refusal to say whether he will accept the outcome of the election has created chasms in an already fractured Republican Party — drawing criticism from congressmen, including prior presidential candidates.
"I didn't like the outcome of the 2008 election," Arizona Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee that year, said in a statement Thursday. "But I had a duty to concede, and I did so without reluctance. A concession isn't just an exercise in graciousness. It is an act of respect for the will of the American people, a respect that is every American leader's first responsibility."
"During this debate Mr. Trump is doing the party and country a great disservice by continuing to suggest the outcome of this election is out of his hands and 'rigged' against him. If he loses, it will not be because the system is 'rigged' but because he failed as a candidate." Graham said.
