McCain: loser has 'duty to concede' | |
Arizona senator John McCain delivers a mini-lecture on losing elections, after Trump refused to say he’d honor the outcome this year. “It is an act of respect for the will of the American people, a respect that is every American leader’s first responsibility” to concede upon loss, McCain says in a statement: | |

That’s five Republican senators to have rebutted Trump on the point, by our count. | |
Update: Plus Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson: | |
As a former Governor, who was elected and served as a Republican in an overwhelmingly Democratic state, I have to say that Donald Trump’s refusal to say he will accept the outcome of an election is just one more straw too many. It’s offensive to the thousands of election officials across the nation, and it’s offensive to a nation for which the integrity of elections is what sets us apart from much of the world. | |
