Some electors flipped after all

[musterion]

Calls for Trump to be voted down by members of the Electoral College were roundly ignored on Monday – with only two 'faithless' Republican electors rejecting the president-elect and FOUR deserting Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Several more electors tried to ditch the Democratic loser, in an effort to pressure Republicans into doing the same and selecting a more moderate GOP president.

So very disappointing. But one must answer to conscience, as we've been told for weeks, and none may question it. Right, leftists?

Ron Paul got a vote. If only he had gotten 269 more.

Three of the four who bailed on Clinton went for Bernie--no, sorry, read that wrong.

Colin Powell.

Republican.

The ultimate lemon juice in the sucking chest wound.

THE CLINTONS ARE DEAD POLITICAL HISTORY.

Which ones? The damage was already done on election night. This was virtually a foregone conclusion a hail mary pass to change some electors. Electors are selected for party loyalty. That said, the electoral college should be done away with in future elections. Faithless electors could someday change the outcome of an election even when the popular vote doesn't go the other way.

Amen, but people don't want things like liberty and freedom for all anymore.

True story.

So not funny enough to laugh out loud and be in paroxysms of laughter then?

"Leftists"?

In your silly little world that could be anyone who you disagree with through to a misplaced traffic sign.

For the second time in my life the electoral college has delivered the presidency to the looser of the election. It was a questionable idea to begin with and it needs to go.

It's not going anywhere. Population centers with more votes than ballots won't rule is all.

Switch Clinton and Trump, leaving everything else identical, and you'd sing praises to the EC.

Switch Clinton for Trump and you would be calling for an armed revolt.
