What Happens If Trump Tries To Cancel The Election Because Of The Coronavirus? [barf alert]
BuzzFeed ^ | March 13, 2020 | Dominic Holden [get a job, loser!]

Thousands of Americans [NF: even if true, about as many as think the earth is flat] think President Donald Trump may try to cancel the 2020 election by citing the coronavirus pandemic. On the left and right, they envision him declaring a national emergency, using those newly invoked powers to suspend the November vote and extend his first term in the White House.

It’s not purely paranoia. The pandemic has already canceled campaign rallies, postponed the primary election in Louisiana, and raised ideas to nix the parties’ nominating conventions. Trump, for his part, has often lied about his last election to justify his political power, and most specifically, he retweeted a suggestion last year from Jerry Falwell Jr. that his first term should be extended by two years.

I don't know if BuzzedDweeb requires excerpting - I'm posting as much as is required to establish the idiocy of this piece.

Yeah, anyone who thinks this President would cancel his own blowout landslide asskicking he’s about to administer must live in a galaxy far, far away.

The elections should not be cancelled, but the Democrats, if they had any decency, respect for the nation’s health and honor for our Constitution, must stand down for the 2020 Election.

We have turned the corner on coronavirus. Watch how quickly it will become not a problem once Trump starts looking good over it. He will be accused of using a fake manufactured crisis over a bogus virus that is not even as bad as the flu to advance his political agenda. It is delicious. And all you people who have been coming on here for the last several weeks with your scary stuff, you will need to own it if you ever want to be respected again. One thing about the internet is that everyone has a voice but another thing is that the internet has a good memory. We already know who you are.

I'm old enough to remember the election of 1944. If World War II wasn't enough to cancel an election, then corona virus isn't either.

Stupid people haven’t read the constitution. The authority to set election dates and manner resides with Congress and the states

Not only is he gonna cancel the election, he is going to adjourn congress. Then suspend habeas corpus and throw the GD media in jail.

SRC..

Oh please.

What is MORE likely to happen is that when the Democrat candidate LOSES, the libs will be screaming for an election do-over because so many of their base was sick or self-quarantined over fear of the "Trump" virus and couldn't drag their sorry asses to the polls.

Holy smokes! Hat tip to you! We got a lot to learn from you.

Like what do you remember of the day the war in Europe ended? The day it ended in the Pacific?

My sister, who was 8 or nine at the time, doesnt remember much at all.

I’ll support DJT completely if he cancels the elections. I’d like to see such an effort coupled with a anti-leftist, military junta.
