Then it will represent the worst Constitutional crisis since the Civil War.
This would of course require 270 electors to vote for Clinton. That means that about 40 Trump electors would have to vote for her and none of Hillary's could defect. Not likely to happen. If a Republican elector refuses to vote for Trump, he'll vote for Romney or Kasich or somebody like that.
In the very unlikely event that there is a coup staged by the presidential electors, they deny Trump the presidency, I don't even want to think about what would happen....but it would absolutely be catastrophic for this country.

And if neither achieves a majority, the House (controlled by the GOP) elects the POTUS.
1) they tried it in the GOP primaries to deny him the delegate numbers.....tried to make the delegates Trump won to change their minds at the convention....Cruz's people were pushing for it......FAILED!
2) they tried with the recount in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin......FAILED!!!
3) Now they want the 306 Republicans electors that Trump won on election day to change their vote for somebody else........I'm not a betting man but if I was I would bet my house and my savings this will fail badly also.
Your response is not very fair. I have admitted many times that I accept the election result. In my OP, I admitted that it would take a miracle for Clinton to win now.
My question is purely theoretical. Would Trump and Trump supporters concede if by a miracle the EC elects Clinton?
If you "accept the election result", then why are you starting a thread like this? It seems to me that you still are holding out hope that Hillary will somehow manage to weasel her way back into the WH.
I know you didn't ask this but...did it ever occur to you that if Hillary got in, she planned to increase the number of H1-Bs? Such a move would put your job at risk. Food for thought

Civil War
I simply wonder who would be on the side of Hillary and dems, as most of the members of the military and police would "stand down" and not support such tyranny.
If such an event happened (which it will not), the republic is finished and we are in the midst of a Civil War, in which the "combatants" both have nuclear weapons.
Is the destruction of the US worth the desires and cravings of an aging, corrupt old bag?
