According to a poll conducted by two academic authors and published by The Washington Post, 52 percent of Republicans said they would back a postponement of the next election if Trump called for it.
If Trump and congressional Republicans proposed postponing the election to ensure only eligible citizens could vote, support from Republicans rises to 56 percent.
Pollsters found 47 percent of Republicans think Trump won the popular vote.

There are two kinds of Trump voters/fans:
Billionaires, and idiots.
Trump voters, just check your bank balance to determine which category you fall into.

If you genuinely believe that, plan on losing the next election as well.

Not GP, but for what it's worth, the Democrats do seem to be on a path to lose the next election. I hoped that losing to a candidate like trump would be a wake up call that many Americans are deeply unhappy with the status quo. But judging from the choices that the party leaders have made since the election, they seem to be sticking pretty hard to the status quo. I wouldn't be surprised by another uncharismatic, pro-wealthy, candidate for the next election. Plutocracy über alles!

Precisely. The Democrats have been Republicans-lite since Clinton, (mis)guided by some unholy misbegotten idea of false compromise. We have not had an ally of the people in office since before Reagan, and we have had nothing but enemies of the people, especially poor ones, in office since Clinton's second term. The one-two punch of NAFTA and so-called "welfare reform" threw the lower quintile of the US under the bus for good.
