Trump Seals Electoral College Victory
The Hill ^ | 12/19/16 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 12/19/2016 2:33:32 PM PST by conservativepoet

Electoral College members across the nation voted to affirm President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on Monday, as liberal attempts to sway Republican electors to abandon Trump fizzled.

Republican electors stayed loyal to their candidate, keeping Trump well above the 270 electoral vote threshold needed to secure the nomination.

Texas' 36 electoral votes for Trump pushed him over the edge at around 4:30 Central Time, even though two rogue electors' defections deprived Trump of one of those votes. That gave Trump 304 total electoral votes.

And with the faithless electors, Trump won by a larger margin. Ironic.

"California deserves to be left out of the vast majority of equations."

In California every factor begins with an 'i' for imaginary.

After doing all the calculations, if you take just the real part of the solution then the contribution from California is negligible.

Trump lied to us. He said we’d get tired of winning. I’m not tired, but I do sleep like a baby. First time in a decade.

I love winning.

That gave Trump 304 total electoral votes.

Who was the other Republican Elector who didn't vote for Trump?

Any elector who refused to live up to their responsibility to vote for the candidate of their party should be banned from any further political activity FOREVER.

Is there still time for them to just cast votes for whomever?

************

When each state does their thing then it’s over for that state. They cast their ballots sign
all the paperwork and it’s done. Copies are distributed to various gov’t entities and in
Jan. 2017 the congress will make it official.

Now after weeks of anguishing about how the recounts will go and how the electors will vote what is there left to worry about?

Should we speculate about Trump being indicted or even impeached before he reaches office?

Should we concern ourselves with Trump potentially quitting because he didn't really want to be president anyway?

Shall we nitpick each and everyone of his appointments as being too neocon or GOPE or have too much of the Goldman-Sachs stench about them?

Maybe instead we should just relax and savor the first victory for the little guy in decades.
