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.

    Not even close. Prisoner's dilemma presupposes rational actors, if rather ignorant ones. No, what we have here is Republicans cutting of their nose to spite their face, or if allegory is too difficult for you (you do, as many conservatives are, seem to be a literal minded person), electing Trump even though they know he is not one of them and will bring fire and furry to the Republican party for generations. Especially the furry, grabbing them by the furry parts, if you know what I mean. My Gawd, the man is a perv.

    Speaking of rational actors, raise your hands if you didn't see it coming for Trump and Kim Dong to be having a Nuclear "tiny hands" measuring contest.
