cross you fingers the sleazy and corrupt Dems don't pull something to block Trump. They'd sacrifice America itself to retain power and would do anything they could to keep it's citizens beholden to the status quo.

Could not agree more; "Moral Democratic politician" is an oxymoron.

Fortunately for all of us, a election left to the House of Representatives would still leave those obsessed with raw power, and rule by executive order and regulatory fiat on the outside, looking in, which is exactly where they belong.

It will be so anti-climatic that I might just fall asleep.

The entire reason we have an electoral college is to prevent someone like Trump from taking office.

IF we are not going let the electors do their job - then let's just do away with the EC.

I'm on board.

You couldn't be more wrong. If you want to argue this point with FACTS and specific's, rather than your own opinion - please do.......... crickets .........

It's not like Clinton could win. Faithless electors have several choices, and many may favor neither.

There is nothing Dems can do. The only people who could pull something are the electors, and they are Republican.
