The delay or suspension of the 2020 election would be significant and fundamentally destructive to our republic.

It would be shortsighted to think that trump or Republicans actually care about those implications. Their only concern is power and wealth.
Let there be no doubt, Republicans would, without hesitation, destroy America forever if it put a single penny in their pocket.
