Trump refuses to say he'll accept election results He says he'll 'look at it at the time.'

Donald Trump refused to commit Wednesday night to accepting the results of the presidential election, saying he will "look at it at the time" — a position Hillary Clinton called "horrifying."

In one of the final presidential debate's most bitter and extraordinary exchanges, the Republican nominee reiterated allegations that the race is being "rigged," especially by the "dishonest" media.


"Millions of people that are registered to vote that shouldn't be registered to vote," insisted Trump, adding that Clinton "should never have been allowed to run for the presidency" because of her decision to maintain a private email server at her home while secretary of state.

Debate moderator Chris Wallace pointed out that the peaceful transition of power is a proud U.S. tradition, and that the loser concedes for the good of the country.

"Are you saying you're not prepared now to commit to that principle?" Wallace asked.

"I'll keep you in suspense, okay?" Trump replied.

Clinton pounced hard, describing Trump as a whiner who always claims he's being cheated on whenever "things aren't going in his direction."

"This is how Donald thinks, and it's funny, but it's also really troubling. That is not the way our democracy works," Clinton said. "He's denigrating and talking down our democracy. I, for one, am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position."
