Trump's answer pissed me off, but I will also say, I didn't like Wallace's question. It was like attorneys trying to put words in your mouth on cross examination. You gotta watch out for blanket generalities and universal unequivocal promises. If Trump had modified his answer by saying "Barring unforeseen problems, of course," he would have done better than his pissy answer.Republicans despondent that Trump threw away final debateTrump lost the debate because his performance won't move the polls enough to overtake Clinton's 7 point lead,

Donald Trump’s rocky performance on the final debate stage did little to allay his party’s concerns that the GOP is headed for an electoral catastrophe up and down the ticket.
In interviews with over a dozen senior Republican strategists, not one said Trump did anything to change the trajectory of a contest that is growing further out of reach. And many said they were deeply distressed by Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the Nov. 8 election, an eyebrow-raising moment already dominating headlines.
With Trump’s prospects for securing 270 electoral votes growing dimmer by the day, many Republicans have turned their focus to the gritty, unpleasant task of protecting the party’s congressional majorities. Trump, they said, did little to buttress the GOP ticket — and may have worsened its position by repeating his claim that the election is rigged, something congressional Republicans are sure to be pressed on in the days to come.
Immediately after Trump’s remark, several party higher-ups, including South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, took to Twitter to distance themselves from it.

One cannot accept the results of something that has not yet occurred.
I find it interesting the Democrats get so giddy over what Graham or Flake or McCain may say, when so many Republican voters have written them off as nothing more than placeholders.
I wonder if refusing to accept the results of the election is illegal. Obama got his DOJ thumbing through the law to see if they can take this guy away on November 9 if he declares his own caliphate?
