Clinton says Trump stance on vote results threatens US democracy

CLEVELAND, Oct 22 (APP/AFP): Democratic White House hopeful Hillary Clinton on Friday accused her opponent Donald Trump of “threatening” American democracy by refusing to pledge to accept the outcome of the presidential election. “We know the difference between leadership and dictatorship, and the peaceful transition of power is one of the things that sets us apart,” Clinton told a rally in Cleveland, Ohio — one of the key swing states up for grabs on November 8. “Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election. By doing that, he’s threatening our democracy.”
