MSNBC’s Katy Tur: Trump’s ‘Making It Very Clear’ He Won’t Accept Any Outcome Showing Him Losing

With GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump ramming home the message that November’s election will be rigged against him by both the media and political establishments, cable news reporters and pundits have been discussing how dangerous this level of rhetoric is.

During a discussion with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell and Kristin Welker earlier today, Katy Tur said that regardless of what running mate Mike Pence is saying about the electoral process being fair and the Trump campaign accepting the results, Trump himself is sending a very different message.

“Governor Pence may say that the campaign will absolutely accept the outcome of the election,” Tur told Mitchell. “But that’s a lot different than saying every day on Twitter that the election is rigged, and saying it at campaign rallies which is what Donald Trump is doing.”

“He’s making it very clear that nothing — no outcome other than him winning is going to be acceptable to him,” Tur added.

Meanwhile, Trump changed his tune a little bit when a favorable round of polls in Ohio showed him up in the Buckeye State today.

Wow, new polls just came out from @CNN Great numbers, especially after total media hit job. Leading Ohio 48 – 44.
