To be fair, there were a bunch of people on the left wringing their hands, and expecting Bush to suspend the elections in 2008 as well.  That particular bit of stupid seems to cross all political boundaries.  Hell, I remember hearing folks on the right expecting that Clinton would do it  in 2000, folks on the left in 2008 and folks on the right in 2016.  The only real difference now, is that there are some on the right who seem to feel that it would be a good idea.
