1. What they propose is not enough since they say that what happened...

.... "cut to the heart of our free society". It's not enough to just try to prevent it in the future. What future?

[sarcasmo]

2. Exactly. The electors are the last line of defense to do what's right.

We should have a re-vote and we all know that would never happen, all up to the electors.

[mopinko]

5. a thorough audit would do.

i have no doubt that a thorough examination will show just where results were or could have been affected. imho, could have been is good enough.
the 80k votes that are the margin now could be pretty easily knocked down, imho.

if we dont stop him before he takes office, a report does us squat good.

6. Write the electors here:

9. Hillary Clinton needs to go and sit down with each individual elector

I'm pretty sure she could red pill them. Obama would do better but too many people would scream partisan hack.

[Gore1FL]

14. I am not too sure that Clinton or Obama are the best choice to convince party-loyal GOP electors.

You might have a better chance with a Republican.

[Jean-Jacques Roussea]

16. Nah because their aversion to democrats is irrational

You need to shatter their delusions by showing the Hill and Obams aren't evil Sith lords. They'd probably just think a republican is being bribed.

10. Dec. 19th is technically "the future." nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. The diminutive Russian president must be laughing his ass off at the tumult he created.

[AgadorSparticus]

4. This is how it is done. Bipartisan effort. Everyone should be alarmed.

Every elected official should be up in arms.

[Aimee in OKC]

7. McCain said something about the Balkans

On 'Face the Nation'. Just caught bits of that & missed most. Was he talking about supporting the Balkans or actually going to visit?

Aggh, sure hope he's not planning on flying anywhere. I put nothing past the Russians.

[mnhtnbb]

8. McConnell, of course, is glaringly absent from signing the statement

[MADem]

11. He has made his bed, and his wife got a Cabinet job in exchange.

We know what he is, the only question is, how much was he paid?

[33taw]

12. Where are statements from the other 47 democratic senators?

Republicans had 9 investigations into Benghazi, this should certainly warrant one? Our representatives need to be screaming bloody hell.

[ananda]

13. I think they are saying that ..

.. they are worried about cyberattacks and national security.

But what about the election itself?

[ffr]

15. Reports of Russian interference in our election should alarm every American

Don't worry. I'm alarmed, because I'm aware of that fact and was suspicious to it being true based on what Hillary Clinton was addressing during the campaign. But what alarms me more than anything is that 62 odd million of my fellow Americans were hoodwinked, hook-line-and-sinker into eating up that daily dish of Russian propaganda and THEY WILLINGLY ACCEPTED IT. Still do.

That's what alarms me more. I expect adversarial foreign governments to act adversarially. I don't expect my neighbors to support actions of our adversaries.

[George II]

17. Don't forget, Graham too.

[ailsagirl]

18. KICK

[ailsagirl]

19. kick again

20. The U.S. got played for fools and the world is watching...

The U.S. got played for fools and the world is watching...

U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to be a defender of the international — "rules of the road'" to help shepherd the world through a period of deep uncertainty.

I hope Prime Minister Justin Trudeau takes what he said to heart.. It is going to be a rough road ahead for the world and the I am sure the majority of the free world is scared..
