Celebrities urge electors not to vote for Trump
The Hill ^ | December 14, 2016 | By Jennifer Calfas

Posted on 12/15/2016 1:17:46 AM PST by Brad from Tennessee

A group of celebrities created a video to urge Electoral College members to cast their votes for someone other than President-elect Donald Trump on Monday.

“You have the position, the authority, and the opportunity to go down in the books as an American hero who changed the course of history,” several celebrities say in turn.

Unite for America, a group formed to try to prevent Trump from becoming president, created the video published Wednesday, which features actors Martin Sheen, Debra Messing and Bob Odenkrik, among others. . .

. . .Despite media coverage, chatter and protests from a handful of electors, only one GOP elector has publicly vowed not to vote for Trump. Virtually every other Republican elector The Hill has contacted has said they will vote enthusiastically for the president-elect.

I thought they were all moving to Venezuela or Cuba. Why the hell are they still here.

?????? qualified??

Someone or something that is eminent is of high rank, noteworthy, distinguished, or prominent. An accomplished world leader and a respected intellectual, for instance, are eminent.

Something that is imminent is (1) very near or (2) impending. For example, when the weather forecast calls for a 100% chance of thunderstorms, we might say that storms are imminent. 
 
 
WHAT were they babbling about again??

So electors are you going to follow the direction if vastly wealthier than you celebrities who live life in a fantasy bubble unaffected by the actions of Obama who care nothing about the U.S. and who have already lied and said they would leave the U.S. if Trump won and are for a socialist government run by Muslims who want to import even more terrorists or are you going to do the will of the vast majority of hard-working Americans who live in the true reality of Obama’s actions with traitors in their midst who sell state secrets and assets or favor and profit, a crippled economy with more businesses closing than any other time in history, with a healthcare system that isn’t working, a crippled military that’s unable to defend our nation against serious threats, a divisive spirit in the WH where unity is not oossible, and a reduced status as a nation in the eyes of the world. Because Trump has stepped up to the plate and wants to make America great again. Hillary wants to continue the policies of Obama. And remember those death threats and emails came from her people and her supporters. Go against the will of the vast majority of the will of the true patriotism of America and you will be considered traitors for life. Go against the will of the left and you will be hated for a moment, then they will forget it as they turn to destroy someone else.

Just like the assassin who started WW1.

Entertainers were considered low-lifes in the middle ages. Now they are revered because they have money?

The only reason they have money is because they are able to get paid more because the technology of modern media allows more people to be reached.

Am I missing something here? Haven’t the electors already cast their votes?

Trump’s electors are GOP operatives who were selected by and loyal to the party.

There is no chance they will switch their vote.

The whiney, self important A-holes have been supporting the BS that the Russians might have contaminated our electoral process. Well, they themselves are far worse than the Russians due to their excess lack of grey matter and common sense.

I do wonder what the Russians think of all the pro-Hillary people accusing them falsely of hacking the American election?

They must think the Hillarites are lunatics and breathing a sigh of relieve that someone with reason and competence is actually taking charge.

Probably reminds the Russians of North Korean leadership.

In each state and the District of Columbia, electors are chosen every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and then meet to cast ballots on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December.

Yesterday was the second Wednesday.

They do the actual voting on the 19th.
