Bill Clinton derides Trump's view of election results

Former President Bill Clinton mocked Donald Trump's refusal to commit to accepting the election results unless he won.

"We'd all like that if life were like that, wouldn't we? If we won every moment of every day," Clinton said Thursday while campaigning for Democrats in Nevada.

"The truth is, we don't win every moment of every day, and what we want to do is have a free and open country where there's equal opportunity for people to get a handout if they fall down and where we can all win together."

During the third and final presidential debate Wednesday, Trump twice refused to commit to accepting the election results. While campaigning in Ohio on Thursday, Trump said he would accept the results, if he won.

Clinton also noted that he was a white male Southerner as he weighed in on Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America great again."

"Fifty years ago wasn't so great for African-Americans," Clinton said.
