Meet one of the real 538 electors, Christopher Suprun a Republican from Texas. Suprun has decided to vote for someone other than Donald Trump when he casts his electoral college vote later this month. He believes other electors are right there with him.

"At this point there are people who have reached out to me. Again it wouldn’t be my place to name who they are," he said, though he indicated he was talking about Republican electors.

"I am confident in saying, at this point," he continued,"I don’t think I will be the only one voting for someone other than Donald Trump who is carrying a Republican elector seat."

Suprun told Jonathan Karl and Rick Klein on the Powerhouse Politics Podcast that he is not sure which former candidate will earn the vote since his choice, Ohio Governor John Kasich, has said he is not interested....

They tried this crap in the primaries, and they failed. The establishment wing of the GOP was rejected. Pitiful.

Curious why a GOP voter in TX, does not contact a GOP law firm in TX and sue this fraud for breech of contract. Rather then let this attention whore posture for the cameras, make him put his money where his mouth is.

Why doesn’t he just do the honourable thing and just quit and let someone else take his place?

One “rogue” Elector; fifty gazillion fake news stories about a “revolt”.

This whole GOP EV fake revolt agitprop being genned up by the fake news media is the exact same fake news agitprop the fake news media genned up during the GOP convention: for weeks they pounded the “delegates are revolting against Trump” drum. Naturally, nothing came of it and the GOP convention came off with a hitch. Exactly the same thing will be the case on 12/19/2016 with the EV vote: it will go off without a hitch, despite all of the huffing and puffing and sturming und dranging.

Mr. Suprun’s extended family should try to get him down off the bridge railing.

OK, NOW we need a GOP Lawyer who file the suit.

Anyone know somebody?

Maybe because he's an attention whore?

His attention span consists of now to 12/19/16 and his audience is the LEFTIST MSM who will discard him as soon as they discarded ‘Code Pink’ Sheehan once Obama took office!

He is a liar and a fraud who never intended to vote for the Republican winner. He is a democrat leftist with strong Marxist leanings. If the party in TX had any pri8nciples they would decertify him immediately.

Suprun has been saying this since the GOP convention. There’s been ample time for Texas Republicans to rein him in if they had the means to do so. Presumably, he has some bigtime backers in the Texas GOP.

Almost every election has threats from faithless electors, who are usually regarded as harmless kooks.

I envision Hillary sitting on the couch eating cheesy poofs watching TV as the votes are counted.
