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.

    People on both sides were suggesting Dubya would/could/should do the same thing, in 2004 and 2008.
    People on both sides were suggesting Clinton would/could/should do the same thing, in 1996 and 2000.
    I wasn't paying attention to politics before that, but I'm sure it didn't start then.

    There's always a plentiful fringe of blackguards and paranoids, respectively cheering for their own man to seize more power or wailing that the despicable enemy is about to do so; this is the natural result of treating politics as a team sport.
