What's up with liberal Signer quoting Hamilton approvingly . . . the Electors were supposed to be “men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice.”

Today it is unheard of for a liberal to quote a founding father without rebuking their sexism, their racism, their having servants without paying minimum wage. . .

Here's what is at play: Signer is desperate for a strategy to prevent the electoral college from doing its duty, so . . . Signer is using the words of founding fathers to appeal to Trump's electors in the college hoping they will, somehow, believe Hamilton and others would really like to see Clinton elected because she best would preserve the ideas of the founding fathers. Signer does not believe this; he hopes electors might.

That is a long shot - over 70 percent chance it will not work.

“That is a long shot - over 70 percent chance it will not work.”

I’d say it’s over a 99.9% chance it will not work. Remember Trump’s electors are all Republicans, and he has a very large lead. There is no way 37 electors are going to flip against the will of the voters.
