Sweet irony! Trump just needs 11 more to clinch it, and Montana, Iowa and Texas would all have to go faithless to give Hillary an upset.

Their purpose was to oppose the Electoral College - by proving it doesn’t work with idiots.

Actually SIX turned on Hillary. One in Maine was forced to recant, one in Colorado was replaced.

No votes for Jill Stein, for making all this post-election mayhem possible?

The funny thing is that they were supposed to vote for Hillary and chose otherwise.

“The only way to stop Trump is to find more idiots in the Electoral College. Are you with me, fellow snowflakes!”

“YESSSSS!”

Even though I do find it funny that they are not voting for Hillary, I don’t like this.

I don’t like electors playing games with people’s vote at all, even though I don’t agree with who these people voted for.

It could just as easily be me that they are playing games with, and I would be pissed beyond responding rationally were that the case.

I suspect that the faithless electors are still fuming at the treachery used to dump Bernie. These folks are getting in digs at Trump AND Hillary with one act of defiance. They see it as a twofer.

So if only the one in Texas doesn’t vote for Trump. That would be a net +3 for Trump.

So the phony recount helped Trump. Now the phony EC coup attempt could backfire too.
LOL!

——I don’t like electors playing games-—

Because of these illegalities, there will be a lawsuit seeking to trash all electoral votes cast for all parties

Anyone who can be proven to have been a faithless elector should be tried with crimes against the American People.

How do these never Trump scumbags sleep at night ?

My sources show Trump at 306 (was a little while ago). He’s won.

Same here. They are babies having tantrums, who are not taking their jobs seriously.

I don’t know what many liberals have to act like children, or can’t face reality, but what I do know is that they need to grow up.

>>>”I don’t like electors playing games with people’s vote at all”

That’s their purpose: to cause that reaction - to get rid of the Electoral College and go to popular vote.
