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.

    He's right, there *is* pervasive fraud. It is called "gerrymandering."

    But that's been going on since the days of Mr Elbridge Gerry, after which it was named back in 1810. It sounds like there's a different assertion on the table right now, with no evidence whatsoever.

        It is hilarious seeing uzzie proclaim his genius and then let a simple joke like that go wooshing over his head.

          In fairness, when your head's 2/3 beak and spends most of its time up a decomposing zebra's asshole, I imagine a *lot* would go over it.
