To the Editor:

Donald Trump says he will wait until the election is over before deciding if he agrees with the results. Why shouldn’t he?

Given the negative onslaught by the media, the outlandish disparagement of his character by Hillary Clinton’s vicious campaign of lies, the resistance to him from establishment Republicans and his allegations of rigged elections—why shouldn’t he withhold judgment?

Note from KBJ: Many leftists never accepted the legitimacy of George W. Bush's victory in 2000. And now they insist that Donald Trump declare, in advance of the election, that he will accept the result. Can you say "hypocrisy"?
