re: #42 thecommodore

Here’s to at least 38 Trump electors defecting to Clinton. And you might as well go out and buy a Megamillions ticket.

They don’t even have to defect to Clinton. If they vote for a variety of other names, or their mother-in-law or their dog, that’s enough to deny Trump his 270 and it will go to the House.

The House would absolutely pick a Republican, I don’t doubt that. But they’ll pick a sane Republican; someone I’d certainly have major differences with on many policies, but they’ll be someone who has some government experience and knows How a Bill Becomes a Law. Someone who understands that foreign policy needs more careful consideration than a momentary whim. Someone who doesn’t have massive conflict-of-interest projects in a dozen countries we have Issues with. Someone who doesn’t need his children in the room for every important meeting to explain things to him. Someone who Putin doesn’t have compromising video of.
