    Pat Caddell told Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Thursday, “Selective memory is exactly the point” when it comes to the mainstream media’s reaction to Republican nominee Donald Trump suggesting he would wait and see before accepting the election results on November 8.
    “All he said was, ‘I’ll wait and see what the results are,’ which is a reasonable position, I suppose,” said Caddell, also pointing out that Democrats challenged the results of the presidential elections in 2000 and 2004.

    NEW YORK, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- At a private fund-raiser in Los Angeles
    for Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
    told the crowd that President Bush merely had been "selected" president, not
    elected, Newsweek reports in the current issue. "You know, I'm a fan of
    Clintonomics," she told the crowd while standing from a perch on the staircase
    of movie producer Alan Horn's art-filled Bel Air home, "and this
    administration is destroying in months our eight years of economic progress."

    Though she and her husband had raised more money than any other Democratic
    political team this year, Clinton said, Bush's machine has raised far more "to
    try to ruin the reputations of our candidates or, if they can't, to depress
    the turnout" by making campaigns unpalatably nasty. "But, you know, you have
    got to hand it to them," Clinton said with what sounded like a rueful
    appreciation. "These people are ruthless and they are relentless."

    , And as many times as He has growled " lawwww and or-derrrrrr", it's obvious he doesn't respect law or order.

    None of that describes DT.

    So I'm guessing that you are a proponent of what prompted my third question in the original post (did anyone actually read it?), which hypothesizes that Trump interpreted the question as whether or not he would concede as soon as the media outlets and experts "called" the election.

    That's a reasonable position that could have been brought forward without all kinds of alt-right talking points.

    Would you like to actually discuss that?

    Ok if you are going to try to to me or anything I say to the mythical "alt right" then we have no discussion. You are the one acting as if Trump's claims about things being rigged is some new tactic. Its not.

    Yes. That was a recurring theme for a while after the election. I even witnessed Jimmy Carter say something similar on a late night talk show. It was shameful.

    So why are Trump's advocates condemning trying to excuse his response based on the shameful actions of others?

    You are quoting Brietbart in your response. That is not mainstream right wing, but an alternative right-wing website. I don't assume anything negative by the term. It is simply an expression of its position in alternative media.

    For a mainstream candidate to do so months before an election is a new tactic. If I am wrong, please correct me.

    I heard of it the first time a few years ago in one of your posts where you referenced it. I didn't know what you were talking about and you accusing me of speaking falsely.

    I don't follow alternative media very closely, so I may have spoken in error. However, I did read Brietbart "news" when they did a couple of stories on someone I know personally - close to me - that were hatchet jobs. Knowing how they operated in covering that story, combined with their inability to write an honest and balanced piece, makes me doubt anything I read from there.

    Setting aside your adhominem can you refute the information posted there?

    The question rarely has to be asked of both parties.
