Their idea is that if they dont vote for HRC, then they can entice Republican electors to not vote for Trump, but for some globalist elitist “compromise” candidate instead.
It was pointed out yesterday, that all of the Democrat electors pledging to do this have been from western states, so if some sufficient number of Republican electors are naive and foolish enough to be browbeat and threatened into voting for Kasich or McCain or Romney or McMullen or Graham or Ryan or Jeb Bush or any of the sort of Republicans who would go along with this treasonous scheme, doesn’t matter who, just get Trump below 270, then these western Democrat electors would benefit from the time zone difference and would still vote for Clinton as required. It’s Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown. Whoops.
