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.

  Let's not forget that there's a deep, deep well of nasty in those people, descended as they are from their forefathers who had no problem with slaughtering native Americans and enslaving millions of Africans and subjugating millions of Latin- and South Americans by proxy.

  Everyone has a deep well of nasty. That's part of being human. And I wager most people of the Americas who've been here more than a few generations descend in part from your categories of black hats. Judging people by their ancestors is a pretty racist thing to do, wouldn't you think?
