Left’s hijacking of Electoral College fails
Canada Free Press ^ | 12/20/16 | Matthew Vadum

Only 2 Trump electors defect, compared to 5 Clinton electors

Not too many intelligent, well-informed people actually thought the Left’s attempt to get 37 of Donald Trump’s 306 presidential electors to vote for somebody other than Trump on Dec. 19 would work.

It didn’t.

“In the end, seven electors voted for a person other than the candidate who won their states—the largest number of electoral college desertions in a presidential contest in U.S. history, eclipsing a record set in 1808,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

They are already turning their attention to “impeachment”.

Impeachment? For what? And if they did go after it, they are outnumbered in the house and senate.

All that happened was to make President-Elect Donald J. Trump’s margin of victory even GREATER than it was before.

Way to go, MoveOn.com. It must irk just a little, that no amount of expenditures seems to affect the meter in any positive way.

May this string of “successes” continue apace.

Not that I am gloating or anything.

Freeper Lazamataz said it best:

Hillary Clinton has managed to lose the 2016 Presidential Election FOUR times.

Once, on the night of the election.

Twice, in the attempt to recount her way to victory (via her proxy, Jill Stein).

Third, in the effort to create faithless Trump Electors.

And now a fourth way she has discovered to lose the election: SHE GOT MORE FAITHLESS ELECTORS THAN TRUMP by a two-to-one ratio!
