If they don’t get their way the next tactic will be to crash the markets just as they did in 2008. Sounds to me as if a crash is sort of baked in, either way. Hope I’m wrong. A lot more people teetering on the brink now, than there were then. It’s been a long eight years.
And Hillary’s got a double digit lead over Trump nationwide...
Boy, I sure missed out on buying those popcorn futures.
Liberals have a conscience? HAHAHAHA. “faithless electors”? From the party that denied GOD three times?
Now it's a daycare and baby sitting center.
Yup, they would be ground zero in a new civil war and our side has been silent for a long long time... We play for keeps.
“Faithless” = “Threatened”
It’s not going to happen. But if it did, if the election is given to Hillary in this way, the Constitutional system would have ceased to function. The next day is uncharted territory.
Trump has that covered with his Goldman Sachs guys. Yes, we always need to be prepared for financial war, trade war and the old fashioned military war
Nope. Had it figured a long time ago. Been waiting for people like you to catch up.
If this were true, I’d be very careful ordering a burrito from Taco Bell in any state capital Taco Bell where missing faithless electors cast their vote. The meat in those burritos might have a peculiar taste.
If I was an elector and these idiots contacted me:
I'd tell them whatever they wanted to hear. I'd still vote for Trump like I should, but I'd lie to the people contacting me.
I can easily imagine 20 electors out there getting a kick out of jerking this guy's chain.
An interesting little read
This whole corruption of elector movement is despicable. The elections were carried out based on the assumptions that electors are supposed to vote a certain way. After the election, to change the rules is an attempt to nullify the whole electoral process after the fact, and it is completely irresponsible and deplorable.
Liberals are still stuck on denial. If they overturn the results of the ballot box (after suppressing freedom of speech from the soap box and usurping the proper role of the jury box), that would be unfortunate. The next stage of denial is anger, and I don't think America's totalitarian domestic enemies want to see righteous anger.
Hillary voters: we laugh at them when they're angry..
Trump voters: they wouldn't like us when we're angry.
The Hill is a good site.
I KNEW there was something up with this.
I read the article and politico reported this.
They’re just reporting news that’s out there already.
politico = fake news.
The Hill, not so much :)
Amen brother Lee, Amen.
Mr. Lessig had better hope there is no disruption of the proper electoral process, otherwise we are coming up on “Shoot a Transformer for Trump Day”. It gets cold in Cambridge.
Will this guy resign in disgrace when he is wrong?
The degree of “progressive” cheating during this election is disturbing.
Lock him up for attempting to foment a coup to overthrow the constitutionally elected president.
Joseph Campbell said that every civilization had the same stories over and over again.
This is the part where the hero has fought their way through an impossible Republican primary, won an impossible general election, battled through legal challenges and recounts and now....
(we catch our breath for a few days)......
Then he has to survive faithless electors and a cold January Washington DC inauguration....
and five impeachment attempts and another five assassination attempts.....
and a re-election campaign....
and America is great again....
and at the end of the play he turns to the audience and says
“Now you—yes you—go out there and schlong them!”
