... about the incipient breakup of the GOP. It now looks as though that party is alive and well, while the Democrats are ready to splinter even further. I thought it an interesting commentary that the GOP had only two "faithless" Electors, while the Washington Democrats found it necessary to "make a point" by refusing their vote to Mrs Clinton.
