1. It would probably go better for the R's if they chose Mittsie

but I suspect most of their Electors will stay with the Donald.

3. I can't believe I'm about to say this

but at this point I would love for the next president to be Mitt Romney. It won't happen, but it would be so much better than what we are facing now.

[Squinch]

13. Right? I'd actually be ecstatic.

[BigDemVoter]

16. Same here..

I don't even think Dick Cheney would be as bad as these people.

[Nay]

17. BB -- I know. Who woulda thunk it? After the spectre of Trump as president, I'd go and

cheer at Mitt's inauguration, figuring we'd just dodged a really big bullet.

2. It's not going to happen, people.

We are stuck with Trump. No one is going to take a stand against this. No one. Not the CIA. Not the Democratic or Republican Parties. Not the DOJ. Not We the People. We are stuck in this nightmare & they will jerry rig the system so we never get out. I honestly believe we passed a tipping point with this election. Our republic as we knew it, is over.

4. I wish I could disagree

This election, or whatever you want to call it, signals the end of America as a world leader and a great democracy.

8. I don't think anyone is prepared for how BAD this is going to get

11. I agree and I believe you are correct.

what we should probably understand is the fact that in that 2014 elections were rigged also because too many questionable circumstances took place but no one questioned the results...(it was too damn easy). Just like 2000 and 2004 Democrats will give us a hell of a lot of lip service bullshit but nothing will be done because many Democrats in Congress are eating from the same trough as the Republicans...DWS the DNC chair at the time ran from any thing that would have challenged the results.

This 2016 Election raid and theft did not just happen in 2016..This no doubt was in the planning stages for years..The voter suppression laws passed by the Republican States and many approved by the SCOTUS,was all part of the big picture..Its like after Bill Clinton won two terms Republicans vowed that they would win in 2000 one way or another.2008,and 2012 elections were won by the best campaign organization in history and the reason Republicans could not touch Obama
.

WTF..they have not scheduled any hearing about interference by Russia until Congress returns in January..This is a matter of National Security and .. and we are suppose believe Democrats are really going to do any thing about the Hijacking of our Democracy?

5. Some federal judge

just ordered electors they have to vote for Trump, even though Hillary won the state.

[DesertRat]

6. Yes, that was in Colorado

9. F him

The penalty to electors for voting their conscience is far less than the penalty for having a Russian occupation. Plus, aren't all these Repug electors millionaires anyway? A little fine won't bother them.

[INdemo]

12. No that dont sound right at all

Hillary won a state she has those electors...This is not like a primary

[BainsBane]

15. That's not what he ruled.

He said they have to vote for the statewide winner, according to Co. law. That winner in Co. s Clinton. Read the link the other poster provided.

[impeachtrumpquick]

7. Of course they should vote for the winner of the popular vote, not Romney but Clinton

[lagomorph777]

10. Holy shit this is gaining traction.

I don't think most post-McCarthy Repugs can face the idea of a Putin takeover of America, even if they hate all the brown, female, LGBT, or non-wealthy people in it.

[Squinch]

14. You should link to the "source" because you saying it doesn't cut it. My cat said the same, but...

well, I don't have a cat. Hate them, actually.
