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.

    That's an interesting state of mind you have there where "acquittal" means "didn't do it". There are plenty of examples where one can be acquitted of something and yet still have done the crime (for example, insufficient evidence, or based on evidence that was obtained illegally)

    It's called being innocent until proven guilty...

    He was proven guilty to the point of paying a fine and losing his law license. He just didn't get convicted by the Senate.
