DALLAS — I am a Republican presidential elector, one of the 538 people asked to choose officially the president of the United States. Since the election, people have asked me to change my vote based on policy disagreements with Donald J. Trump. In some cases, they cite the popular vote difference. I do not think president-elects should be disqualified for policy disagreements. I do not think they should be disqualified because they won the Electoral College instead of the popular vote. However, now I am asked to cast a vote on Dec. 19 for someone who shows daily he is not qualified for the office.
Fifteen years ago, as a firefighter, I was part of the response to the Sept. 11 attacks against our nation. That attack and this year’s election may seem unrelated, but for me the relationship becomes clearer every day.
George W. Bush is an imperfect man, but he led us through the tragic days following the attacks. His leadership showed that America was a great nation. That was also the last time I remember the nation united. I watch Mr. Trump fail to unite America and drive a wedge between us.

Don’t really want to know why a traitor is a traitor.
Resign then.
Supplanting personal whims rather than fulfilling his duty to the millions of people who voted for Trump = traitor.
Maple or aluminum bat for this ass?
Somebody wanted some attention. The New York Times was delighted to give it to him.
What is you damned name?
What are the odds of Trump losing the electoral vote on the 19th?
And you did nothing under obama. And you would have done nothing under Hillary.
Fifteen years ago, I swore an oath to defend my country and Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. On Dec. 19, I will do it again.
They’ll just be replaced lol
