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.

“Since the election people have asked me to change my vote...”
Election people?
The Electoral College vote isn’t held until December 19th. Why don’t they just replace this guy?
heh...
“Why you will NOT retain your position as an elector!”
What’s in the water in Texas?
One of the first reasons he gives is that Trump ridicules SNL in his tweets.
SERIOUSLY?!!!
He also claims to be not able to support Trump because he “encouraged illegal acts” (of Russia hacking Hillary’s emails). Yet...
He says NOTHING about Obama encouraging a WORSE illegal act - that is, illegals voting in our election.
What the HELL is our country coming to?
The funny thing is his “reasons” are part false, part things that have been “known” about trump since the start of the campaign, and part things that are meaningless.
Like this “Mr. Trump does not understand that the Constitution expressly forbids a president to receive payments or gifts from foreign governments. “
Of course, it doesn’t. And of course, Trump hasn’t either because he isn’t even president yet. And this would have been an issue with ANY elected person who had any business dealings outside of the states.
Or this: “and actions he took against minority tenants in New York.”
Or this: “Gen. Michael T. Flynn (...) installed a secret internet connection in his Pentagon office despite rules to the contrary.”
Or this: “During the campaign Mr. Trump even said Russia should hack Hillary Clintons emails. “
It is like reading some uninformed teenager’s facebook rant.
How did this guy ever get picked by the republican party of Texas to be an elector? Don’t they have any standards down there?
Yes.
In either case: YUCK! We're not even talking about "sloppy seconds", here ... more like sloppy 250,000ths ...
I think the sentence needs a comma.
He is a Special Snowflake suffering from Special Snowflake Syndrome.
The Special Snowflake (Also referred to as one with the “Special Snowflake Syndrome” or “SSS”) is a person who believes they are different and unique from everyone else because of something they are or do. Special Snowflakes almost always have a superiority complex.
Can this elector tie his or her shoes and work a crossword puzzle? The elector appears to be not qualified for his job! What evidence does the elector possess to support his assertions that our President elect is not qualified?
You cannot think straight when your hair is on fire.
He was actually saying back in August that he wouldn’t vote for Trump, and at that time said he’d vote for Hillary Clinton.....
Typical liberal. Yes, even in Texas.
Probably listens to Glenn Beck, too.
And I'm not even a Republican.
Hook her up to power Elon Musk’s Hyperloop demo, LOL.
You got it!!!!
If one is a “faithless” Elector, one should stop down and be replaced by a faithful Elector! The idea that Donald Trump is “unfit” to be President is a ridiculous liberal meme, which is being disproven every day.
So just let the lying press keep harping on that meme, while the Electors do the will of the voters who elected them!!!!
No, this is a new attention whore.
Zero critical thinking. Too much drivel to even be concerned about.
At best, he has been threatened by Clinton campaign surrogates.
He must be replaced, Texas.
” I am asked to cast a vote on Dec. 19 for someone who shows daily he is not qualified for the office.”
No you just showed you are not qualified to be an elector.
During the campaign Mr. Trump even said Russia should hack Hillary Clintons emails.
Someone should tell this idiot that Clinton’s email server has been shut down for years so the Russians could not have hacked it if they wanted to, although they hacked it when it was in operation. Trump merely jokingly told them to release them from their files.
Either he knows this or is truly a stupid person.
Actually, Madonna said she WILL force him to get a Monica from her if he votes for Trump.
