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.

  My view is that both Bush and Clinton lied. The key difference is that Clinton's lies were felony crimes because he lied under oath while Bush's lies to the public and to the world are quite legal.

  No, the key difference is that Bush's lies got the USA into an unnecessary war, which has cost the USA trillions of dollars, the lives of thousands of US soldiers and the enmity of millions of people, not to mention the lives of millions of people in the middle east. But heck, his friends made lots of money from the war, so, who cares, right?

  If Clinton lied, then his lies had no consequences for the country. The fact that you are so concerned about them says volumes about you.
