Pelosi’s Daughter Leads Effort To Block Trump Through Electoral College

By Valerie Richardson - December 12, 2016 The accusations of Russian interference in the November presidential election have provided a last-minute lifeline for the long-shot effort to head off Donald Trump at the Electoral College.

Ten electors, led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s daughter Christine Pelosi, demanded Monday an intelligence briefing on Russian interference by Monday, when the Electoral College makes the vote official.

Flipping the Electoral College seems to be the only hope left for Trump opponents. Recount efforts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have backfired.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee urged Trump opponents to participate in a protest scheduled for all 50 state capitols Monday aimed at persuading electors to cast their ballots for someone other than the Republican real estate mogul.

“The idea that a foreign government has interfered with our elections to undermine their credibility, much less support one of the candidates, indicates a Rubicon has been crossed for our nation, and we need to consider it carefully,” Chris Suprun, a Texas Republican elector, said at a Sunday press conference. Even before Friday’s news reports, Mr. Suprun had vowed not to cast his ballot for Mr. Trump.

(snip) With the Electoral College vote just days away, however, organizers of the small yet unprecedented drive to upend the results of the Nov. 8 presidential race seized upon the reports, saying they show foreign influence tainted the election.

The group Hamilton Electors, which is urging both Democratic and Republican electors to unite behind a third candidate, preferably a moderate Republican, said this “is the moment Alexander Hamilton warned us about.”

So this is their REAL purpose. A “moderate” Republican who will not build the wall, grant amnesty, another Justice Souter???

A huge champion of the poor, Nancy Pelosi’s $22 million Napa home boasts tennis courts and a Bocci ball court. She is lucky enough to also have a helicopter landing pad.

A political creation of unions, she employs ZERO union people at her vineyard and at her luxurious bed & breakfast, Auberge de Soleil, where a buger and fries will set you back $22 before tax and tip.

Auberge de Soleil, rated in the top 10 of it’s kind in the USA.

Pelosi also played a critical role in exempting American Samoa, where 80% of the island works for Starkist Tuna, from a mandatory minimum wage hike, from $5.35 per hour. Advocate For The Poor Pelosi is a major Starkist shareholder, you see.

In a single year the bar tab for Pelosi’s huge government plane exceeded $100,000 —one time she diverted it over 1,000 miles in order to pick up a single order of chocolate-dipped strawberries.

There is a group called “Hamilton electors”???

Is their knowledge of history drawn from seeing the play about Hamilton???? Or do they have actual historical knowledge????

They want to install a moderate GOPer? WHO?

And they honestly believe that the populace would stand for that?

This isn’t just a long shot effort to stop Trump. It is a long shot effort to start a civil war. The Deplorables have come too far. There will be no going back without a lot of blood in the streets.

They floated Kasich but he said “no.”

They are desperate and clutching at straws.

They know that someone, in the play trashed VEEP-elect Pence; that’s the extent of their knowledge about Alexander Hamilton, who is rolling in his grave, due to this crap.

They want a palace coup to usurp the voters’ intent.

Losing an election with good grace isn’t an option for the Left.
