Unless Donald Trump drops out in the very near future - like, say, the next 72 hours - he will carry some states, thereby earning some Electoral College votes. Of course, only those chugging the orange-flavored Kool-Aid straight from the pitcher realize that he will lose, and lose badly. But given that it's pretty clear that he isn't dropping out, he'll win some electors.
And some will refuse to vote for him.
Only a small percentage of electors break ranks and do not support the candidate to which they are pledged.
2004 - A John Kerry elector instead cast their Presidential vote for John Edwards.
2000 - An Al Gore elector turned in a blank ballot, voting for no one.
1988 - A Michael Dukakis elector instead cast their Presidential vote for Lloyd Bentsen.
1976 - A Gerald Ford elector instead cast their Presidential vote for Ronald Reagan.
1972 - A Richard Nixon elector instead cast their Presidential vote for the Libertarian Party candidate.
So this happens once or twice a decade, out of more than 1000 Electoral College votes cast every ten years.
Back to my prediction:
This year, there were be multiple Trump electors who vote for someone else. Pence. Cruz. Johnson. McMullin. Others.

LOL
A faithful electorate would have given Trump a 1.32 advantage over Clinton.
Well, it looks like The Democrat Thug Party and its threats improved Trump’s win with a 1.34 advantage.
Eight faithless electors -- two of them Dems who were slapped back into line and forced to vote for Hillary. That's certainly the biggest faithless elector run in over 100 years!
