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.

  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.
