Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.
Bless your heart...
Those Texan politicians who didn’t vote with or side with President-elect Trump can kiss their careers good-bye.
Well, to his credit, he did the honorable thing and resigned in time to be replaced by an elector who will vote as the people have instructed.
Well Bye....
Loser
Just WHERE, in our Constitution, is that qualification for being president listed? I've never seen it. Was it written in secret code or in invisible ink?
He’ll be replaced by an alternate.
If someone can’t vote for some reason, there’s an alternate to serve as an elector.
If your state elected Trump by its popular vote, it’s your responsibility to vote for him as someone who is allegedly representing the people who voted for him.
It’s not YOUR personal choice.
If that were the case, then why even bother with the election? Why not just have the electors decide who’s going to be president and avoid the whole election year mess?
this line in his letter
So it safe to assume the democrats that set in motion the phone/email threat campaign using the released database of electors is who he is referring to ?
It is good he chose to resign instead of caving to the angry messages and voting against his electorate.
At least the PUMAs had the good sense to fade away after the 2008 election.
“He resigned, he said in a blog post, because he couldn’t square his pledge to vote for the winner of Texas’s election with his moral compulsion to vote only for candidates who are “Biblically qualified.””
And there we thought that only Muslims were this kind of stupid! Biblically qualified,” what a crock. We are electing a secular leader. Glad he’s gone, so he can get back to his “snake-handing duties” on Sunday.
Another putz hits the skids.
I have dropped the still BUTT HURT hotair.com from my *favorites*.
Not a single positive or supportive column on anything Trump can be found on this now solidly RINO site, who for so long posed as “conservative”.
Disclaimer: I didn’t read all that text
Just wondering who this asshat voted for in the general? Hillary?
Of course, Redstate (that is ok if they all turned blue) is jumping for joy over this
His girlfriend dumped him too. When asked by the press she replied, I already have one pussy, what would I want another one.
I don’t see how Hillary is anymore Biblically qualified. Or the whole Democratic party, which seems to have slid into Sodom & Gomorah.
This outfit is aptly called ‘hot air’. This article nails down the literal meaning of man caused ‘climate’ change. Tax them.
A delusional jackass.
HotAir & allahpundit...ptooey!!
Faithless elector Sisneros...double ptooey!!
As to the linked article on voting by faith or Christianity, readers should note that every Scripture quoted is Old Testament and under the system of Mosaic Law that was superseded by the Gospel in the New Testament. Rulers and Kings of the OT are not the analogue to the elected leaders we have today so this is basically bad theology being latched onto by a man with a weak mind and a weak faith.
“Tangentially, with lame efforts now afoot in the electoral college and in Jill Stein’s recount of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to undermine the legitimacy of Trump’s victory, why would Trump himself call into question the integrity of the election? His message right now should be to hail the glorious splendor of a free and fair vote. Instead he’s screwing around on Twitter with this, inadvertently undermining the process that just made him president:”
Because illegals matter. Because we need to, as Justice Joseph Story put it:
“cut[] off all chances for ambitious foreigners, who might otherwise be intriguing for the office; and interpose[] a barrier against those corrupt interferences of foreign governments in executive elections.”
That is something Cruz, Rubio and Jeb! didn’t quite understand.
