Critics of President Trump have repeatedly warned of his potential to undermine American democracy. Among the concerns are his repeated assertions that he would have won the popular vote had 3 to 5 million “illegals” not voted in the 2016 election, a claim echoed by the head of a White House advisory committee on voter fraud.

Claims of large-scale voter fraud are not true, but that has not stopped a substantial number of Republicans from believing them. But how far would Republicans be willing to follow the president to stop what they perceive as rampant fraud? Our recent survey suggests that the answer is quite far: About half of Republicans say they would support postponing the 2020 presidential election until the country can fix this problem.

I would hope even the hardest Trump supporter here at the BR would say, "that aint happening".

We hear this same crap with every POTUS, either Republican or Democrat, some yahoo starts saying they are going to declare an Emergency and Cancel the Elections.

Shall we change our flag, too?



And give Trump the rank of Generalissimo?
