Republican Elector Cites ‘SNL,’ ‘Rogue One’ as Reasons He Won’t Vote for Trump
The Wrap ^ | 12/05/16 | Debbie Emery

Republican presidential elector Christopher Suprun explained in an eye-opening op-ed to the New York Times on Monday why he intends to reject Donald Trump when it comes to voting as part of the electoral college.

In a column aptly titled “Why I Will Not Cast My Electoral Vote for Donald Trump,” the Texas paramedic revealed how he will break ranks will Republicans in an attempt to halt the president-elect’s road to the White House.

“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,”

Suprun went on to make a number of references to Hollywood, from Trump’s Twitter tirades accusing the “Saturday Night Live” cast of bias, to Darth Vader and the Dark Side of the Force.

“‘Rogue One,’ the latest ‘Star Wars’ installment, arrives later this month. I am not taking my children to see it to celebrate evil, but to show them that light can overcome it,” he wrote.

Liberalism = Mental Disorder

The State of Texas needs to fire him and replace him.

This one clown is going against the Will of the voters. All because Hitlery did not win.

I read his lame diatribe. The man is an idiot, I don’t care if he does really work for a living.

Further, he should find out the difference between “president-elects” and “presidents-elect.”

So this “elector” believes that a few population centers should elect the president for the whole country.

Trump carried the vast preponderance of the nation’s counties.

Hellary got just a handful.

According to this elector’s logic, we should let these few counties determine the president for thousands of other counties.

Can he be replaced? Seems, even the Electoral College is a secret vote, but voting (EC) the will of the electorate of that state. Replace him now, if possible!

Pretty much expresses the aggregate intellectual vacuity of the liberal mind. But let it be known that he FEELS better about himself for doing this.

IIRC, the “pu$$y” is a firefighter.

He might be ignorant and deluded, but he doesn’t seem to be weak.
He’s probably from Austin.
