Crazytown: How even some pundits want Trump electors to go rogue

This is just sad.

The impact of Trump Trauma keeps getting worse. Now journalists who I respect are so desperate to stop the president-elect at all costs that they are putting their prestige behind a fringe movement.

I wasn’t going to write about the cockamamie scheme to get the members of the Electoral College to deny Donald Trump the victory he won at the polls. The vote, which takes place Monday, is nothing but a technicality, with the electors expected to support the candidate who carried their state. Sometimes one or two cast a protest vote, but that’s it.

But now some Democrats are saying that if we can just get 37 GOP electors to flip, we can keep Trump out of the White House and install someone else.

That and the fake news about Russian hacking.

Never though I’d see the day when journalists stopped questioning authority.

Its here.

Why bother even having elections?

Just let the Uniparty choose who goes to DC.

That’s exactly what they have been doing since Reagan.
The GOP has run nothing but amnesty candidates since the last amnesty.

Well, we have to remember that most of the pundits have spouses that work with the whining Democrats or for them.

DC and its chattering class are literally married to each other.

"Just now?"

We've known it for years, but I think the 2016 election made it obvious to even non-political, middle-of-the-road people. And that is important.

"The Liberal Media has dropped any pretext of being objective or rational."

One example: In the months leading up to the election, the MSM routinely described Trump as a "reality TV star," ignoring the widespread business experience that previously made him a public figure and got him the reality show in the first place. But they were trying to link him to people like Kim Kardashian, or someone on "Survivor," whose ONLY claim to fame was as a reality TV star.

Trump is a major businessman, with a presence in many countries, and a record for getting things done, despite some inevitable failures along the way. Compare his experience to that of Barack Obama, who had actually done NOTHING in his life, yet who was paraded as a genius and a savior.

Mass insanity. This will turn to fury on 21 January, but that isn't much of a change, really.

But it's a sort of weird attitude for adults. "This can't be happening, it just CAN'T be!" Well, it is. Deal with it.

From Atlas Shrugged, Part III, Chapter V, "Their Brothers' Keeper."

A woman's bewildered voice rose uncertainly and trailed off: "I thought we were living in an age of brotherhood..."

"I'm scared," a young girl was repeating. "I'm scared...Oh, I don't know...I'm just scared..."

"He couldn't have done it..."He did!"..."But why?"..."I refuse to believe it!"..."It's not human!"..."But why?"..."Just a worthless playboy!"..."But why?"

The muffled scream of a woman across the room and some half-grasped signal on the edge of Dagny's vision, came simultaneously and made her whirl to look at the city.

...

Then, written across the enormous page, stopping time, as a last message to the world and to the world's motor which was New York, she saw the lines of a sharp, intransigent handwriting:

BROTHER, YOU ASKED FOR IT!

Just shows how deeply embedded the Communist Agenda has sunk into the formerly anti-commie America. All of this class warfare, race warfare, attempted destruction of the Constitution and Bill of Rights is part of the plan. They already have control of the schools and a zillion other interior alleys into the heart, soul, and veins of what used to be a patriotic America. The country IS divided and half of the country is on the Commie side although they call it Socialist- Globalism. Fasten your seat belts because it is going to be a hell of a ride to beat down and root out the traitors in this country. Thankfully, God gave us Donald Trump to lead us through the difficult times to come.
