Politics In last-shot bid, thousands urge electoral college to block Trump...

Pressure on members of the country’s electoral college to select someone other than Donald Trump has grown dramatically — and noisily — in recent weeks, causing some to waver, but yielding little evidence Trump will fall short when electors convene in most state capitals Monday to cast their votes.

Carole Joyce of Arizona expected her role as a GOP elector to be pretty simple: She would meet the others in Phoenix and carry out a vote for Trump, who won the most votes in her state and whom she personally supported.

But then came the mail and the emails and the phone calls — first hundreds, then thousands of voters worrying Trump’s impulsive nature would lead the country into another war.

“Honestly, it had an impact,” said Joyce, a 72-year-old Republican state committeewoman. “I’ve seen enough funerals. I’m tired of hearing bagpipes. . . . But I signed a loyalty pledge. And that matters.”

... thousands urge electoral college to block Trump...

Yeah, and hundreds of thousands have died protecting the Constitution. To all you whining Snowflakes: You lost, get over it. We didn't run sniveling around when the worst President in the History of this Republic got reelected. It's your turn to live with it.

So, all of you who are harassing electors, what are you going to do next when the electors elect Trump President like they are constitutionally mandated to do? What next? Just curious...

He will have 305 on Monday and then they can organize their riots for the inauguration.

I guess fanning the flames to incite riots in a major US cities ( Baltimore , St Louis, etc.. ) over a completely fake narrative wasn’t enough carnage for the leftist MSM .. The fake narratives are completely out of control , it’s gotten to the point that the left ,to have any relevance at all , has to exhaustively work to create their own fake version of reality .

I can’t wait to see the crushing disappointment in the whiners on Monday when President Trump becomes the 45th president of the United States of America! Trump wins again!

The American Left continues its attempt to subvert and destroy the American way of life.

They don’t get it and they don’t understand that millions will be after them and likely will kill them.
