What if they did? How would you react?

You mean if we entered the Twilight Zone,
what would be my reaction? Forget me, the
country would go apeshit bananas, it's never
gonna happen. The AP has contacted almost
all of the electors and found just one that
claims he'll change his vote.

You see these electors on cable news every
day. One guy got 250 snail mail letters just
yesterday, begging him to vote for Hillary.
This is why the Dems are in such a bad place.
They say it's the least amount of power
they've had since the 1920's nationwide.
I saw a prof yesterday who made a good case
that it hasn't been this bad since the 1870's,
during Reconstruction after the Civil War.

People have had enough of Liberalism. It's
not working, it's bullcrap. You can't regulate
the country to an economic standstill as
Obama has tried to do for 8 years. You can't
PC everything to death. Like Michael Moore
said, when Trump wins it will be the loudest
F-You to the gov't that this country has ever
seen.

Here's one of the electors, one of many I've
seen this week. They aren't changing their
vote, why would they.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I think there might be more than one, but none of them will vote for Hillary instead.

I think the most faithless electors in a single election was 32, except for when a candidate died between the election and the electoral college vote.

It would of course take more than that to send the election to Washington DC.

There's talk that some Hillary electors
will switch to Trump. That would be
a riot if Trump got more than 306.

I was reading today that the EC was
put in for just the situation we have
today. The majority of voters from
now on will be from the Dems.
We would always have a Dem
president if winner takes all. Look
for a constant big push for a vote
to change the constitution.

The Democrats could not beat Donald Trump. And were so blind as to what is going on in America, they actually had the champagne chilled.
Crooked Hillary, Bernie Sanders, and Pocahontas. How did the Democratic party get that lost ?

Yes, we have successfully replaced the tyranny of the majority with the tyranny of the minority.

How do you figure. The majority of states
voted for Trump, that's the whole point.
51 separate elections. Trump won 30,
Hillary 21. The entire 2mil+ votes that
gave her the popular vote all came
from Calif. Is that what you want, one
state electing the president every 4 years?

It's Official: Clinton's Popular Vote Win Came Entirely From California

'California is the exception that proves the true genius of the Electoral College, which was designed to prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections... If you take California out of the popular vote equation, then Trump wins the rest of the country by 1.4 million votes...'

Someone prove that a vote for Trump does anything but prove a voter acted dumber than a rock?

Trump shipped jobs overseas.

He employed illegal aliens

He lost lots of money in bankruptcy, and no evidence he looked out for the little guy who suffered for it.

He's used imminent domain to force people out of their homes to build essential things like a golf course.

Middle America must love lawyers and lawsuits, because Trump is King in that area.

What exactly did middle America vote for based on his record? His high rate of truth telling? You lose there as well.

If he does good, it doesn't make you smart. Not at all. It will be dumb luck. It's like jumping off a building and landing on mattresses you didn't know were there. That's not smart. It just proves you're an idiot who is lucky to be alive.

Hope we get lucky, because the idiot vote won.

Somebody prove that a vote against Hillary
was anything but brilliant. To save us from
4 more years of do nothing politics, 4
more years of the Obummer debacle.

After looking at this for 6 weeks, I'm
convinced the Left defeated themselves
at the polls. Looking at dozens of
Youtube videos of talking heads in
the week before the election, they
told voters again and again that Trump
had no path to the WH. What this did
was energize the Right and make the
Left stay home in droves. If it's such
a Hillary shoe-in, why bother voting.

It was the boomerang effect. The
Leftwing media wanted to depress Trump
voters and keep them home, and it
had the opposite effect. Watching the
videos, Trump had maybe a 20% chance
of winning. Paddy Power pays all Hillary
bets 3 weeks early. Five Thirty Eight
says Trump has a 30% chance and the
media jump down his throat. The Left
were their own worst enemy in the race.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
