Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine says Donald Trump's refusal to accept the outcome of the November 8 election is a "huge shocker."
Kaine says Trump's refusal shows he "doesn't take responsibility" for his actions.
The Republican candidate on Wednesday during the final presidential debate would not commit to accepting the outcome of the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election if he loses, challenging a cornerstone of American democracy and sending shockwaves across the political spectrum.
Trump's refusal, which his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton called "horrifying," was the standout remark of their third and final debate and ratcheted up claims he has made for weeks that the election was rigged against him.
