Dallas — I am a Republican presidential elector, one of the 538 people asked to choose officially the president of the United States. Since the election people have asked me to change my vote based on policy disagreements with Donald J. Trump. In some cases, they cite the popular vote difference. I do not think president-elects should be disqualified for policy disagreements. I do not think they should be disqualified because they won the Electoral College instead of the popular vote. However, now I am asked to cast a vote on Dec. 19 for someone who shows daily he is not qualified for the office.

Texas does not.
Well, I know for sure now that the NYT censors their comments. My eloquent, insightful, persuasive, rock-solid comment has not been included.
Thanks. Dallas is the somewhat new home for Glenn Beck. A man who has voiced some support for Hillary.
I (almost) always take a look when I run across stuff like this.
George Soros Presidential pick (Kasich) bump for later...
Replace his faithless ass...
To me, the whim/discernment of the elector comes in to play on *subsequent* ballots, if the first (committed) vote does not produce a majority. But to be faithless on the first ballot is, to me, not acceptable.
As I understand it, if the Michigan recount is not finished, the original, certified vote is the official one, and Trump gets the votes. That’s why Stein was granted an early start to the recount.
Sounds like the only way to replace him is if he is absent and they vote to replace him. Someone needs to convince him to be absent if he can’t do what he promised.
According to the Constitution the qualifications for president are
Natural Born Citizen
35 years old
Be a resident for 14 years.
Trump meets the requirements.
He is a disgrace. Siding with the people who would befriend those who flew the planes into the buildings.
He may be a Republican, but he is no conservative. A conservative would respect the Constitution and vote as he should.
No wonder this turd likes Kasich.
A man who took an otherwise honorable career and trashed it with a traitorous stunt.
Benedict Arnold served his country honorably until he didn’t.
When he turned his back on his country, any good service he performed was rendered irrelevant.
Same with this turd.
He’d toss the sign into the burning home and walk away?
A drama queen thinks of nobody but himself.
Nope, that was another one. Something in the water in Texas.
Love it.
