Celebrities urge electors not to vote for Trump
The Hill ^ | December 14, 2016 | By Jennifer Calfas

Posted on 12/15/2016 1:17:46 AM PST by Brad from Tennessee

A group of celebrities created a video to urge Electoral College members to cast their votes for someone other than President-elect Donald Trump on Monday.

“You have the position, the authority, and the opportunity to go down in the books as an American hero who changed the course of history,” several celebrities say in turn.

Unite for America, a group formed to try to prevent Trump from becoming president, created the video published Wednesday, which features actors Martin Sheen, Debra Messing and Bob Odenkrik, among others. . .

. . .Despite media coverage, chatter and protests from a handful of electors, only one GOP elector has publicly vowed not to vote for Trump. Virtually every other Republican elector The Hill has contacted has said they will vote enthusiastically for the president-elect.

who changed the course of history

That is an incredibly correct statement. Re-channeling the Electoral Vote to another candidate would change the course of history. And it would not be a nice change. In actuality, it could be the bloodiest change in human history.

Excellent. Rich lefties will receive another obvious validation that no one cares what they say. Maybe they will finally get the hint. (they won’t)

Why do they want a war so much? Their side is unarmed for the most part and not spread out

Of course they are.

Let me guess, it’s like forty half-second clips of each of twenty or so of the usual dopes standing in front of a white background saying part of basically one sentence, but every fourth word or so is repeated, repeated, repeated because some ad guy twenty years ago, ago, ago decided that that makes it sound more important, important, important.

Hey Steve Bannon, I see your lunch buddy Mark Cuban is in this video calling for the electors to not cast their vote for DJT.

I’m so confused!!!

I vaguely recognize three or four of those people. Not an ‘A-Lister’ among them.

I think I’ll wait to see what the majority of the Kardashian / Jenner family has to say before I decide. Of course even that will be a difficult choice since Kim’s ‘baby daddy’ seems to be pro Trump now.

Not an ‘A-Lister’ among them.

Instead of becoming “A-listers” this at times entertaining lot are determined to become “s**t-listed”. Perhaps they should read the script for the “Goose that laid the golden egg” and realize it’s an alienated public that pinches off the eggs.
As for Baby Daddy, perhaps he’s not as far gone as appearances more than suggest.

The 5 stages of grief and loss are: 1. Denial and isolation; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance

They are all in Stage 3 in this video......sweet

I thought we were done with these...

It is one thing to urge people to vote for or against a candidate. It is another to urge electors to betray their country. These idiots are advocating for civil war.

I really don’t have the stomach to watch yet another one of these things. Does somebody have a list of these B-listers, so I can make sure not one of them ever sees one thin dime from me?

“actors Martin Sheen, Debra Messing and Bob Odenkrik, among others. . . “

LOL if those are the most famous names! Martin Sheen is now more famous for being the father of Charlie Sheen than in his own right.
