The conservative pundit tweeted that Trump would be president if only Americans whose grandparents were born in the U.S. could vote. USA TODAY NETWORK
In a perfect world, the presidency would be decided by Americans with all-American grandparents, and they would elect Donald Trump. At least, that seems to be conservative pundit Ann Coulter's vision of a perfect world.
If only people with at least 4 grandparents born in America were voting, Trump would win in a 50-state landslide.

Coulter caught flack on Twitter by critics who called her racist and xenophobic. Or at least joking about it.
I’m pretty damn proud to say not all four of my grandparents were born here. Shows how far we’ve come.

Shout out to Ann Coulter for getting in that last minute coded white supremacist rhetoric, right before the election https://t.co/BbLMvLbJiR

Guys I think Ann Coulter might be a racist.

Taking Ann Coulter's suggestion to its logical conclusion would mean today's election would be straight Navajo v Cherokee face off #USA2016

Some pointed out that Coulter’s tweet sounds similar to what Nazi Germany envisioned when the Nuremberg race laws were enacted in the Third Reich. In 1935, Nazis announced the new laws stripping citizenship from Jews, or anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum website. The law also banned Jews from marrying or having sexual relations from those identified as German.
Others noted that in such a case, even Trump wouldn't be allowed to vote. His mother is Scottish. Trump's children wouldn't be allowed to vote either as his ex-wife, Ivana, and his wife, Melania, are immigrants.
Note: Trump's mother was an immigrant. So even he wouldn't qualify to be one of your Volksamerikaner. @AnnCoulterhttps://t.co/hW4DbFayXT

Last month, the hashtag #Repealthe19th started trending after FiveThirtyEight’s editor-in-chief, Nate Silver, tweeted a map based on a poll showing Trump would win if only men voted in the 2016 election. The 19th, of course, referred to the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
The good __news is Election Day is here, which means the election fatigue will soon end. In the meantime, indulge in some puppy therapy.
