A Democratic lawmaker is desperately lobbying the Electoral College to shun Donald Trump, and vote for Hillary Clinton — even though he conceded Monday that the Republican won the election “fair and square.”
The plea from Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) comes a week before the Dec. 19 vote, which is expected to affirm the results of the Nov. 8 election, in which Trump beat Clinton with 306 Electoral College votes.
“We’re 5 wks from Inauguration & the President Elect is completely unhinged. The electoral college must do what it was designed for,” Himes wrote Sunday night on Twitter in response to Trump’s gripe that NBC “Nightly News” is “biased, inaccurate and bad, point after point.”
In an interview Monday on CNN’s “New Day,” Himes said that Trump’s refusal to say that the Russians hacked Democrats during the election was what prompted his plea to the Electoral College.
“What finally pushed me over the edge was when the president-elect of the United States criticized the CIA and the intelligence community. Can you imagine what the leaders in Beijing and Moscow and Tehran are thinking as they watch the next president of the United States delegitimize and criticize his own intelligence community and stand up for the defense of Russia, one of our prime adversaries,” said Himes....

Let them keep destroying themselves

I hope the Repubs are tracking their electors and have a “whip count”. This is their last stand. This is the last “legal” option they have
Right, it is the dimoKKKRATS not the Russians who are trying to overturn our election.

Congressman begs Electoral College voters to block Trump
All the frightened little girlie men are scared they are going to lose their money train. Wouldn’t be something when politicians are kept from becoming millionaires in office.
District of Corruption is scared.
This himes guy knows that this will never happen. He’s doing it for one reason: to gain support with his fellow democrats. This way he will get recognition and a promotion.
Election deniers
I like it! I like it, a lot!
I don’t blame him for a last ditch effort to stop Trump, I am sure he fears the swamp being drained. Justice being restored to the Department of Justice is a direct threat to the freedom of many a Congress critter.
From Kelly Anne Conway
Great show!!!! Keep it up Democrats.
Sounds to me like this congressman is an enemy to the will of the people
Himes is a real POS.
Okay, we can’t “kill the liberals.” And we can’t eat them. Both acts are illegal. So, then…what to do about their constant, raging, brutal violence and threats?
How do we counter the vicious, never-ending Fake News attacks of their world-wide propaganda machine?”
We laugh at them.
Ridicule them.
Mock them.
Challenge them, call them liars, call them names of shame and blame.
But don’t—EVER—for one thin moment or instance, EVER believe them.
Take them seriously, as you would any lethal threat. Yes.
But laugh in their faces. And ignore them thereafter—ANYthing they say, print, or screen. Minimize and kick to the curb, their feverish, panicky lies, their perverted Fake News, and their false, self-destructive, phony world of an ash-filled, burning Nemesis.
