Fox News: "political suicide" " a totally wrong answer" & "not the way we play politics."
remarks from the conservatives at Fox:
"The number one most discussed issue on social media tonight was Donald Trump's unwillingness to accept the legitimacy of the results of the election," Megyn Kelly said, "That had the online equivalent of a jaw drop among many Republicans even, as trouble that he didn't need to stir up for himself..."
"When you say that you’ll consider it, you’ll think about it. To me, that’s a showstopper. I don’t know how you get past that," Juan Williams. "That’s not in our American tradition. That’s not the way we play politics."
"I think he stepped on it by refusing to say he would accept the results," Hume said.
Chris Stirewalt: "Unfortunately for him, he said the thing about the elections and that is going to blow up everything else."
"I know they went over this in debate prep. And obviously Kellyanne Conway and others have out there publicly saying, 'No no no. We’re not challenging. We’re just talking about the unfair media and Trump gave the answer he wanted to give,'" Howard Kurtz.
"But with that one answer — sometimes it takes one minute out of the 90 — Trump reset it. That’s going to be the big story," Kurtz.
"He blew it up by a totally wrong answer on accepting the results," Charles Krauthammer said, calling it "a terrible mistake."
"This was not a gaffe where you say something off the cuff and it's what you think, but it's wrong. You know that he had been coached on this. You know that his vice president had said, 'Of course, we'll accept the result,' and his campaign manager and his daughter," Krauthammer said. "You know he's convinced this is something you wants to take a stand on. The calculation — this is political suicide."
"this is political suicide"
