Republican Elector Says He Won’t Be ‘Intimidated’ by Pressure to Go Against Trump (video)
Mediaite ^ | December 15th, 2016 | Josh Feldman

A Michigan GOP elector on Fox News today said a lot of people have been attempting to email and contact him ahead of the electoral college vote in just a few days.

Jim Rhoades told Neil Cavuto that he’s getting lots of emails and letters from people who want him to change his vote, and there are even people going to some extreme lengths to get his phone number (i.e. people claiming to know him from way back).

He dismissed the arguments for going against Trump as “pure crap” and praised Donald Trump. As far as Rhoades is concerned, all this talk of stopping Trump is “a waste of time.”

He also told Cavuto that Hillary Clinton can’t blame fake news or leaked emails or Russia on the fact that she “had no message, nothing positive to say.”

Rhoades defiantly concluded that he will not be intimidated.

Shouldn’t these people putting the pressure on him be identified and prosecuted? Why let them get away with it?

This is a egregious as electioneering it seems to me.

how come they are not investigating the people who are threatening the electors? Instead they focus on the baseless Russian accusations.

My mind is spinning. Russians might or might not have been among the many to hack the insecure DNC and hillary private servers. Weren't we assured by the dems that everything was secure, in spite of the sloppy security precautions? And that's a crime, elevated to political terrorism by some?

Meanwhile, we have Trump electors intimidated and badgered to defy the will of the voters they represent, and not vote for Trump. It's not a real serious crime to intimidate those electors in attempt to overturn the results of an election?

Supposedly...supposedly...a DUmmie sent this particular elector a form letter with all the usual left-wing talking points about changing his vote, etc.

Again, supposedly here is the reply the DUmmie received from "Jim":

"It amazes me that there is nobody on the Clinton team who is smart enough to come up with another email. I have gotten over 300 copies of this one. No wonder she lost. Clinton is a criminal, and all of her views are diametrically opposed to mine. I was elected to cast my vote for the Republican candidate. That is Trump. I will vote for him with no reservations, and no amount of pleading or threats will dissuade me. Pass the news along. All the best to you, Jim"

Don't know if it is true and I cannot verify it, but it makes for some great reading over at the DUmp...'cause, heaven forbid someone actually tell a self-righteous DUmmie that knows EVERYTHING, to essentially perform a sexual act upon them selves.

I won't link to it, but rest assured, the thread exists and it is one of the funniest I've read since Wee Willie and his "24 business hours" crap.
