The Electoral College formalized Donald Trump's election victory on Monday despite protests around the country to encourage GOP electors to abandon the Republican.

The president-elect easily racked up the 270 electoral votes needed to send him to the White House. Interest in the normally mundane voting process spiked this year as opposition to Trump continues to fester, fueled by Clinton's success in capturing over 2.6 million more votes than her Republican opponent.

I believe the Electoral College breakdown is as follows:

Trump - 304

Clinton - 228

Powell - 3

Paul - 1

Kasich - 1

Faith Spotted Eagle - 1

One elector didn’t vote for a bird. Faith is an Native American activist against the dakota pipeline

I notice Mark Levin took the night off.

He’s probably down in the bunker rolling his face in Cheetos, and crying his eyes out.

“Can’t We All Just Get Along?”

The dimwitts are showing up on FoxNews now whining that Trump should be willing to compromise with them and work together.

Typical ‘progressives’ give them an inch and they’ll settle for a mile. Or for 3/4 quarters of the loaf instead of the whole loaf. Actually they were so cooperative with Trump and tolerant maybe he should. After all Obama has been very “gracious”.

Perhaps even before he takes office?
We’re dealing with spoiled brats who never grew up and will kill to get their way after all.

The time is fast-approaching for President Trump to run roughshod over the Progs! Any compromise is a watering down of what must be done.

Or to put it another way ... Trump loses two electors, but Clinton loses FOUR!

“...despite protests around the country.”

Get used to seeing this in every MSM article concerning Trump.

The recount scam failed.

The electoral intimidation scam failed.

Now I’m REALLY worried about Mr. Trump’s safety.
