Americans hate poor sports and sore losers

Trump's refusal to say that he would accept the election outcome will be the only thing remembered about this debate. For years and years to come, it will be compared to Al Gore's gracious concession speech and to Bush41's good luck letter to Bill Clinton.

He kept attacking the shit out of Cruz after he got the nomination, just to twist the knife. He gets off on this.
