Ever since the third debate, when Donald Trump refused to say whether he'd accept the results of the election if he loses ("I will keep you in suspense, OK?"), Trump and his various surrogates have tried mightily to clarify his post-loss playbook.

Rudy Giuliani, October 19, after the debate : "If the election is too close, of course he wouldn't accept it. Al Gore didn't accept it, did he? He went to court?"

: "If the election is too close, of course he wouldn't accept it. Al Gore didn't accept it, did he? He went to court?" Donald Trump, October 20 : "I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election—if I win."

: "I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election—if I win." Kellyanne Conway, October 20 : "He's saying that until the results are actually known, certified and verified, he's not going to concede an election."

: "He's saying that until the results are actually known, certified and verified, he's not going to concede an election." Eric Trump, October 23 : "My father will accept it 100 percent if it's fair—if it's fair."

: "My father will accept it 100 percent if it's fair—if it's fair." Reince Priebus, October 23: "He is not willing to not concede if he loses and there's no fraud."

It sounds confusing (the rarely executed triple negative: well played, Reince!), but it's really all very simple. Below is the official Trump campaign decision flow chart for how to react to the election.
