If Donald Trump were a true American patriot, he would immediately stop his unsubstantiated attacks on the integrity of our election process and system. Nothing he has said or done so far in his campaign has been more dangerous and more disingenuous that his claim that "this election is rigged."
He would also make it clear to the American people, including his followers, that he is prepared to accept the results of the election as the expression of the will of the people unless and until there is verifiable reason to believe otherwise. He would urge everyone to do the same.
Finally, he would let the public know that he understands that we are a nation governed by laws, and that violence, personal threats, and intimidation have no place in the American political process.
It would be great if he did all of these things in his opening statement at tonight's debate. It would be better if he did it in the next five minutes. He owes it to each of us and to us as a people.
