Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan: Hamilton electors are a final hope
Santa Cruz Sentinel ^ | Friday, Dec. 16, 2016 | Amy Goodman and Denis By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan

Donald Trump continues to shock the world as he endlessly fires off derogatory, lie-laden tweets and nominates generals and fossil-fuel zealots to his Cabinet posts. Hillary Clinton's lead in the popular vote has climbed to 2.8 million votes, yet Trump retains his lead in electoral votes with 306 to Clinton's 232. The disparity has many questioning the existence of the Electoral College, just as Trump did on election night in 2012, when he mistakenly thought Mitt Romney was winning the popular vote but losing to Barack Obama in the electoral vote count. Trump tweeted, "The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy." Oddly, now, many among those who reject Trump's victory see the Electoral College as the last salvation to block Donald Trump from taking office.

Alexander Hamilton, the inspiration for Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway hit musical, has also inspired a group of electors. They call themselves Hamilton Electors


Hello Hamilton Electrors I formed a group called the Aaron Burr Electors. Care to meet up?

The electoral college is man’s last best hope of a semblance of federalism.

>>Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote has climbed to 2.8 million votes,<<

Every time this meme shows up someone should correct it to:

Hillary Clinton’s lead in CALIFORNIA has climbed to 2.8 million votes,

Fake electors want to vote for a fake presidential candidate.

Any one who in their minds, can stop Trump.

These clowns live in CA. CA is completely controlled by Rats. Why do they care if Trump gets in office or not?

They got the government they want in CA.

When Obama was first elected the media had refused to explore his past, or his marxist and racist mentors. Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw lamented that they knew nothing about him or what he might think about things like the economy or foreign policy. Yet they all supported and stood behind him.

Now, they are all vociferously against Trump without him even getting in office or going to work.

The people are learning what deceitful people the media hacks really are and they are beginning to shun them in larger numbers every day. I am going to thoroughly enjoy watching them burn in the fire they have created.

Final hope for what?

Civil War II?

When all the people who will have caused the mess will have their names on the public record and be easy enough to locate for tens of millions of angry and heavily armed Americans?

The ones who want to be faithless are Hillary electors, with the exception of one flake in Texas.

Let them, Trump wins by more.

Trump won the popular vote...in more states than did the shrill one. Morons need to keep being reminded that there is not one election, but 51 separate elections that all win by popular vote.

I saw a commercial this morning on this from the left. They are sinking hundreds of millions of dollars into this effort to corrupt the electors. There will be massive riots on Monday at every state capital.

You know, California is a serious problem.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway hit musical, has also inspired a group of electors

Ah, yes. "Hamilton".

The author himself declared that he wanted a cast that "looked like America does now", which meant, "no whites".

If you haven't personally contemplated what that means to ourselves and to our posterity, give it a little thought.

Gosh, I really hope Amy Goodman does not commit Seppuku when she finds out that at best only 1 or 2 electors follow her advice on Monday.
