It's pretty astonishing, even for Donald Trump. He's said this in speeches to his supporters. But to tens of millions of Americans watching the third debate, he flatly said he'll have to see what happens in our upcoming election - he'll have to see what happens - before he decides whether to abide by the results of that election.
As many political commentators have been saying, and as Steve Schmidt just said on MSNBC, that statement of non-support for the very essence of our democracy is "disqualifying".
Trump has said many awful and outrageous things. But this is the worst. This brutal, abusive person - who has verbally attacked immigrants, disabled people, women, and has physically attacked women, too - now has doubled down on this contempt for and abuse of our very electoral process.
It will be a real relief not to ever have to see or hear this spiritual ugliness ever again. Trump will lose, but he and his supporters will keep pushing their poison. But it will be a relief not to have to worry that somehow this monstrosity might, against all odds, get into the White House.
We'll have that satisfying moment in just a few weeks, when Hillary Clinton is elected our next President. Tonight, Trump gave yet another reason to fervently look forward to that night next month.
