Well, that was prescient. What sparked it? This:
Trump, in Ohio: "I would like to promise and pledge ….that I will totally accept the results of this presidential election – if I win"
— Rebecca Sinderbrand (@sinderbrand) October 20, 2016
Journos immediately clutched their pearls and frantically began tweeting about it:
US presidential hopeful Donald Trump says he will accept the results of the presidential election "if I win" https://t.co/koEopjnD9J

BREAKING news, guys! Judge it for yourself by watching it here:
JUST IN: Trump: “I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election… if I win" https://t.co/4z453rVzqK

Not much, right? Still, alleged journos continue to flip out:
"Trump: will totally accept results 'if I win'" says strap on CNN. If. I. Win. How do @nbcsnl and @AlecBaldwin parody what's beyond parody?

Watched Trump's "if I win" thing. He's just telling a bad joke. He is happy to get a reaction. It's stupid and he's done.

Pitiful media embarrasses itself once again. Look, even if you are someone who would rather have Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump, you have to admit the constant and breathless pearl-clutching over nonsense by alleged journos is outrageous. The GOP is supposed to fight media bias. Not embrace it.
