Yes if they're going to defect then they should vote for the popular vote winner -- that would be a very solid reason to change votes -- but at the end of the day they're Republicans and they won't vote for HRC.

The best we can hope for is that they vote for someone (relatively) less batshit who would be a palatable option for the House to vote for (since the House chooses from among the top three EV getters).
