Hillary loses 4, Trump loses only 2. Trump wins Again and the Mainstream Press Fails. Texas puts it over the top. Trump's Total is 304!

Well okay but I don’t like the way the left has went after the electors and the fact one ..the fraud in TX, did an entire oped piece in the NYT. This could get uglier and uglier if not stopped right now. States need to strengthen their rules and election laws on faithless electors. And the feds need to make sure the prosecute anyone who threatens aor harasses electors.

Shocking

[smileyface]

you mean 4??

George Washington?

[Az Joe]

Ronald Reagan.

He got 1 faithless elector in 1976 and then, of course, his own in 1980 and ‘84.

[CincyRichieRich]

And Clinton lost 4? That’s what I heard.

Sadly it’s not over til it’s over...The Democruds are not done yet...They won’t give up...

[PBRCat]

Hillary had a plurality of votes, not a majority. But the Constitution made the presidency about winning more states and gaining electors, not the popular vote nationwide.

Almost all of Hillary’s lead can be attributed to California where Trump never bothered to campaign.

"I would say rather than a whoo hoo, perhaps ‘we won that battle’, now let’s win the war."

Agreed.

President Trump is going to need our continued support, especially in regard to combatting the MSM narrative which will surely become more shrill and anti-Trump as Inauguration Day approaches.

So if I understand correctly 5 times as many Hillary electors (10 to 2) attempted to be faithless—and 3 times as many (6 to 2) succeeded.

It's a good rejoinder for the H-> got millions of more votes argument.

Most voters didn't vote for her.

>> 304 electron volts? <<

Watt’s new in current events?

The peasants are revolting!

They’ve discharged their constitutional duty.

I’m kinda neutral on this issue; it’s not my concern... I’ve been unionized.

The base is excited

The resistance has won one for the ohm front, but will the Ampere Strike Back?

His base met the acid test: they were the salt of the earth.

[TigerClaws]

We know about the cheating bankrupt loser from Texas who was a faithless human being/elector.

Who is the other that didn’t vote Trump?

[Phillyred]

I agree. There should never be a realistic threat of faithless electors on either side.

[Republican Wildcat]

Trump won by a larger margin over Hillary because more of her electors abandoned her...and oddly most of those voted for other Republicans whereas none of Trump’s voted for Democrats.

This blows up in their faces again. Now the next move is to get Congress to “object” to the Electors and force another yet another vote by Congress in a joint session which Hillary will lose again.

[CptnObvious]

There were two Hillary Electors who voted for Bernie Sanders. One in Maine who was overruled and the other in Hawaii who was not. So even some Democrats are protesting against Hillary.

LMAOOTF!

They have ONE JOB. To vote the will of the people who elected them. They were NOT elected as god. They were elected as party functionaries to transmit the WILL OF THE MAJORITY VOTERS on through the process.

If they can’t do that, they should be charged with treason, given a fair trial, then hung by the neck until dead.
