DALLAS I am a Republican presidential elector, one of the 538 people asked to choose officially the president. People have asked me to change my vote based on policy disagreements. In some cases, they cite the popular vote difference. I do not think presidents-elect 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.
Mr. Trump lacks the foreign policy experience and demeanor needed to be commander in chief. During the campaign more than 50 Republican former national security officials and foreign policy experts co-signed a letter opposing him. In their words, he would be a dangerous president. During the campaign Mr. Trump even said Russia should hack Hillary Clintons emails. This encouragement of an illegal act has troubled many members of Congress and troubles me.
Hamilton also reminded us that a president cannot be a demagogue. Mr. Trump urged violence against protesters at his rallies during the campaign. He speaks of retribution against his critics.
Finally, Mr. Trump does not understand that the Constitution expressly forbids a president to receive payments or gifts from foreign governments. We have reports that Mr. Trumps organization has business dealings in Argentina, Bahrain, Taiwan and elsewhere. Mr. Trump could be impeached in his first year given his dismissive responses to financial conflicts of interest. He has played fast and loose with the law for years. He may have violated the Cuban embargo, and there are reports of improprieties involving his foundation and actions he took against minority tenants in New York. Mr. Trump still seems to think that pattern of behavior can continue.

I read that exact same stuff during the election. It was from radical leftists.
i.e. this doesn’t pass the smell test.
I wonder if this can be posted anymore times in the past 2 days?
No it doesn’t hysteria monger. This guy said this back in August. No election is going to get stolen.
Where the hell do you people get this stuff?
Replace him.
Not gonna happen...Trump will be sworn in in January...
He’s an attention whore.
Clarification: A video that ran on 9NEWS included misinformation.
"Baca is required under Colorado law to cast his vote for Clinton, who received the most votes in Colorado."
FAKE News from 9News.
And stuff like this is exactly why Trump got elected.
Rush read this “I won’t vote Trump” press release and it sounds so ridiculous, I think that if it’s from the real elector, it could be a ploy to protect his own life (if he has gotten death threats). He may be hoping that only liberals won’t notice how silly it sounds. Would any sane person believe that a man who has been a staunch conservative for years would not vote for Trump because he “attacked” SNL? I pray those who threaten him will be convinced. He may have to allow TX to replace him for safety reasons. Hope they keep any replacement quiet.
This clown's name is Chris Suprun and he said his decision was influenced by a Saturday Night Live skit among other weird things. He has all the earmarks of an attention whore.
CHRISTOPHER SUPRUN - It appears your fellow EMS Union Member might opine that you're a Useful Idiot - and he'd probably be right.
>>Where the hell do you people get this stuff?
Isn't that what FAKE News like this from 9News is for?
"Clarification: A video that ran on 9NEWS included misinformation.
Baca is required under Colorado law to cast his vote for Clinton, who received the most votes in Colorado."
If he’d have kept his stupid mouth shut, he could tell his grandchildren he was part of history, voting for one of America’s greatest presidents. Now, he will be replaced and for the rest of his life, he can think about what he traded for his 15 min. of attention.
This reads like any NY Times “article”.
I just don’t put anything past the opposition. Trump’s not president until he’s president, as far as I’m concerned.
Sigh. this whole GOP EV revolt meme by the fake main stream news media is the exact same fake news the fake main stream media genned up during the GOP convention: for weeks they pounded the “delegates are revolting against Trump”. Naturally, nothing came of it and the GOP convention came off with a hitch. Same will be the case on 12/19 with the EV vote.
BUSTED! Texas Rogue Electoral Delegate Chris Suprun Is Linked to Van Jones, Think Progress
Can someone please re-post and re-post this? It just hasn’t been posted and re-posted often enough < /sarcasm >
Agreed, just stop posting these idiotic Fake News elector rebellion stories please, they mean nothing, you’re giving the liberals great satification by posting these.
uh yeah, TGWP is pretty close to a fake news site itself.
