I sort of disagree. The EC not voting Trump in would be unprecedented. It would show what a total mess it was having Trump involved and people looking out for America’s true interest had to save our butts on a technicality.

Sure it might put Pence in, but he would still be a Trump person and have to stand up to the fact he only got in because everyone screwed up and the Republicans allowed it.

In other words, the Republicans would have to own the EC doing something that has never been done. Trump mess would cover all the people involved for getting him int office. All the voters, the media, all the Republican pols would all be part of doing something seen as a real screw-up that it came to the EC voiding it.

If there is anyone controlling the purse strings for the GOP that’s privately scared to death of the consequences of Trump (especially with this past weekend’s foreign policy disasters alone) they are welcome to show up and influence the electors.

I’m not holding my breath on that, but it would be nice to see.
