The will of the people is determined by the results of the election. I think your problem with Democrats may actually be a problem with democracy. You want a coronation, not an election.

MY GOD! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND???????


I am looking forward to the end of all the political advertising in about a month.


Can the people have anything left of sanity if they have to go through many more weeks of that?????

No thanks. Trump can't override the constitution thankfully.

Not the same and that election was only for the northern states. WW2 was intense and the country was busy helping the war effort to be able to have an election so FDR stayed in office. Now it’s a worldwide pandemic and as most of you mask wearing freaks say it’s very dangerous almost national emergency level. Now is no time for an election putting lives at risk and the mail ballots can’t be trusted. ok:

Sorry, but you don't get a postponement just because the election is not going the way you want it to go. Suck it up and take your chances at the polls like a big boy.

There was a presidential election in 1944, at the height of America’s involvement in the war. FDR won it. That’s why he stayed in office. The election was not postponed or cancelled.

It was for the “northern states” because the southern ones had seceded from the Union and were waging war against it. How could they possibly have been part of the election in a country they were fighting to secede from? You know what...maybe don’t answer that.

Two minor problems -

One, voting has already started. Two, there's the matter of that pesky Constitution.

Deal with it. Show up or don't. Your choice.

With the spectre of the election, Trump cannot act as he needs toward BLM and ANTIFA. He also can go ahead with the Biden/Obama criminal investigation for the coup and Biden's payoffs from the Ukraine and China.

Also, we can't have Biden shutting down the economy, stuffing the Supreme Court, raising taxes, approving BS global warming initiatives, and doing "reparations" give aways.

Let's put a nail in the coffin of communism forever and get the job done.



I am very eager to cast my vote for sending Sloppy Joe and the Sleazy Hoe into the dustbin of obscurity in which they belong!

I agree that it's no time for a major election, but I'm not sure what power the President has to postpone it. Plus, we'd have WWIII in our streets with the leftist savages. I guess I should say we'd have a much bigger war than we already have.

Much as I'd love to see it happen, I doubt there's any workable way to make it so.

haha...i have thought that this was a ploy by him to try and delay the election. I don't see why we would have to delay anything. If Biden caught it, do you think Trump would want to delay it? no way. We'll see how he progresses with symptoms but if he is hit hard by it, the of course it hurts him with any undecided people.

on a similar note, if people are serious about wanting to delay the election because he is sick, please make sure to include any and all hearings about the Supreme court pick in that discussion. it only makes sense.
