What is behind GOPPERS supporting election suspension? Are they nuts or what?
Does the GOP have the power to suspend elections because of voter fraud?. And would they try. Have control of Congress and the Supreme Court could end up radical right with 5 or 6 extreme justices.

Hey, tRumputin probably wants to start a war so he can be a war-time SCROTUS so he can have all ultimate power which would mean that we WON'T have any need for elections in 2018 & 2020.
ALL of the things I see happening are PAST troubling to our democracy and to us all as a society.
We should be afraid, be very afraid.

(10,602 posts)The idea of a suspended election is really unspeakable. And the idea of 3 million illegal voters is so nuts that even anyone believing it is not believable. So I am just stunned that it has any life at all.

The "nonsense content" is identical.

(1,714 posts)thinking GWB was going to suspend elections in 2002, then again in 2004, then again in 2006, then again in 2008. Didn't happen.
Then the righties started freaking out because PBO was going to suspend elections in 2010, then again in 2012, then again in 2014, then again in 2016. Didn't happen.
I think I'm beginning to detect a pattern here. A really, really stupid pattern.

This is just the next and final step which will be helped along by a nuclear war with NK no doubt.

(10,602 posts)The fact that a complete lie about the election can get this kind of life says about the demented nature of too many of our populace. It looks like we are becoming more delusional or something.
