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.

    By pure numbers, no, but he's got a cadre of hardcore supporters who would, indeed, let him get away with shooting a man on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight.

    *A* man?

    Someone doesn't need to be widely popular to succeed, just deeply popular, if that makes sense.

    Makes perfect sense, when you consider it as a cult.
