Today is the BIG day…the electoral college will have its say in the 2016 election…..
How many have read the rantings of the lunatic Right and their constant bitching about the “attempts” to de-legitamizing the election of Donald Trump?
They whine about the protests….they condemn anyone that will not bow down and kiss the joint of our newly “elected” emperor…..
So in the spirit of cooperation I have read something about the possibility of some electors that may NOT sign on to the presidency of Trump…..
This is from the site “The Hill”……
Harvard University law professor Larry Lessig said Tuesday that 20 Republican Electoral College voters are considering flipping to vote against Donald Trump, more than half the number of anti-Trump votes needed to stall the president-elect from being sworn into office.
“Obviously, whether an elector ultimately votes his or her conscience will depend in part upon whether there are enough doing the same. We now believe there are more than half the number needed to change the result seriously considering making that vote,” Lessig told Politico.
Lessig has been offering free legal counsel to “faithless electors” who are considering casting a ballot for an alternative candidate as opposed to Trump, who earned 306 votes on Election Day, well above the necessary 270.
According to Politico’s report, 20 Republican electors have contacted Lessig’s group about voting against Trump.
Electors will cast their ballots on Dec. 19.
If anti-Trump electors manage to whip up enough votes against him, the decision would then go to the GOP-controlled House.
Here’s the problem…even if these 30 electors decide to go against the election and vote for someone other than Trump…he will still have enough votes to be the president…..if it does somehow go to the Congress then Trump will still be the winner….why? GOP are cowards and will NOT vote against their party.
So please stop your constant whining…..Trump was elected and he will be president…..move on to something that deserves attention. That is assuming that you can actually think beyond what those idiots in the fringe media tells you.
In Saner Thought 
A most comforting and consoling non-partisan entry. Thank you.
What can I say….I try to give all sides to the story….

I totalloy agree….we need to pick our fights carefully…..chuq
Good to see you Mr. Chuq.
What the EC does today is most likely going to be a terrific news story that has a boring ending.
Thinking is not the mainstream media’s strong suit, lol
So true…..I will post on something I read yesterday that still have not seen in the MSM…..will go up shortly. chuq
*smile* w1nt31 has it right…. boring. But, as he also noted, that’s never stopped the MSM before…
My take? It won’t matter; there are still 32 day until he’s sworn in. That’s more than enough time to set up any number of scenarios to keep him from ascending the throne, not the least of which is assassination, (an ‘accidental’ death would work quite nicely; say if he “choked” on some meat at dinner….), the one I’ve predicted for him all along. I still say the oligarchy don’t like him, and won’t allow him to derail their own plans…
It’s kind of like the old one about the glass half full, or half empty. To some of us, the glass is irrelevant; the only thing that matters is what’s in it…
Of course, I’ll express my surprise when it happens, but I won’t really be surprised…
gigoid, the dubious
Sounds like what my daughter said of me yesterday…LOL chuq
