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.

    No, perjury remains a felony. There is no legal exemption for people who have enemies.

    Unless you consider being found not-guilty an exemption...

    I do not. Just because Clinton's allies in Congress were sufficiently numerous to prevent Clinton's conviction of the crime by Congress doesn't mean that he didn't commit the crime. As it turns, he had to pay a $90,000 fine and lost his Arkansas law license for five years for committing perjury in court (but agreeing to a lesser civil penalty).

      So you'll 100% support Trump's impeachment whether he's found guilty or not? I mean he's got all his allies in Congress ready to keep this crazy train rolling.

      What's good for the goose amirite?

          High Crimes and Misdemeanors? That is what the Constitution says. Why do you hate the Constitution, khallow?
