    The "pledged" count is currently 306 for Trump, 232 for Hillary.
    With so much talk about "faithless electors" potentially changing their votes and throwing the election into question, what is your prediction?
    How many people will change their pledged votes?

    Trump overcame the pundits, the media and 15 other candidates during the Primary
    Trump overcame the Clinton machine, the media and the Never Trump'ers to win the election.
    Do we really think one or two idiot electors are going to stop him?

    My prediction: One faithless elector.

    No change. Surely the electors wouldn't be that retarded.

    yep, that lying scumbag Chris Suprun who lied about being a 9/11 responder will be the only defection.

    In all honesty the whole thing was much ado about nothing from the get go, the media hyped it up to have the stupid gullible libs glued to their TVs for a few more weeks and milk it for all they could. There was absolutely no f*cking possible way they could flip a handful (let alone 37) electors.

    Clinton: 65,756,948 votes … 232 electoral votes

    Trump: 62,913,088 votes … 306 electoral votes

    2012

    Obama: 65,915,795 votes … 332 electoral votes

    Romney: 60,933,504 votes … 206 electoral votes


    2008

    Obama: 69,498,516 votes … 365 electoral votes

    McCain: 59,948,323 votes … 173 electoral votes


    Chris Suprun has gotten some Trumpies hysterical, but his refusal to kowtow is just a technicality and not without precedent.

    In 2004, Bush was awarded 286 electoral votes, and Kerry 251, 1 Minnesota elector voting for John Edwards for both president and vice president.

    It was last claimed that the no Trump movement has 23 of the 37 EC defectors needed.

    I think a better question is to ask who here thinks Hillary will win the electoral college? Please step forward so we can have it on record before the vote.

    I give it as much of a chance as Trump winning in the first place. One black swan deserves another!

    And Hillary wouldn't necessarily win even if they reject Trump. Even the Hollywood celebrity commercial calling on electors to change, is asking them to call for another Republican option. This isn't really a pro Hillary movement, just stop Trump.

    Those actors are literally the most pathetic human beings on planet earth. They actually haven't quite yet grasped how they just became Americas laughing stock. I mean look at crazy hands sheen.....gasp.....did anyone watch that before they put it before the public. And lets talk about that. Actors using the media as a tool to beg electors to change their vote is no different than what the same people claim Russia did which is to interfere with out elections.
    Trump won, fair and square. Its time people enter adulthood and accept that they aren't always going to get their way.

    You are entitled to your opinion. They are begging electors to change their votes. Its as pathetic and scumbag as you can get especially since the left are the very same people making a stink about election interference as they interfere with the election. It literally doesn't get more pathetic. These actors are imbeciles. Case in point, they don't even realize how laughable they are as they stomp their spoiled brat feet in front of the nation because they didn't get their way. How pathetic does it get to be a guy sheens age and not accept the results of a Presidential uncontested election.

    Its like when dicaprio whines and lectures us about global warming as he heats the halls of his mansion that he doesn't need. They are complete morons and they literally don't even see it. They don't see their hypocrisy at all.

    AO -- If I may correct your perspective a bit. It is the leftist 5th column media that is using the actors not the other way around. They use these tool actors because they have built in acceptance with the low educated but highly propagandized public. AKA Mike Farrell. He is accepted in the TV Public subconscious as the beloved character "B J Hunnicutt" , the wise Military Surgeon on MASH. Not the moron he really is. Hollywood is run mostly by leftists and most actors are leftists. All one big family. You saw their big sing-along at the DNC.

    That ad was a direct attack on the Constitution of the United States as well as the President-Elect.

    I believe that you have the historic opportunity, once in a lifetime, to reclaim your own country from utterly corrupted and faceless elites.

    However there isn't going to be easy. I posted this on another thread. They all colluded in order to stop DJT becoming the president. The very same people who are supposed to protect the U.S constitution are plotting the silent coup. No doubts about it. Are they going to succeed?

    The "Elite" Coup Of 2016

    1. There is an "elite" coup attempt underway against the U.S. President-elect Trump.

    2. The coup is orchestrated by the camp of Hillary Clinton in association with the CIA and neoconservative powers in Congress.

    3. The plan is to use the CIA's "Russia made Trump the winner" nonsense to swing the electoral college against him. The case would then be bumped up to Congress. Major neocon and warmonger parts of the Republicans could then move the presidency to Clinton or, if that fails, put Trump's vice president-elect Mike Pence onto the throne. The regular bipartisan war business, which a Trump presidency threatens to interrupt, could continue.

    4. Should the coup succeed violent insurrections in the United States are likely to ensue with unpredictable consequences.

    5. The above theses are thus far only a general outlay. No general plan has been published. The scheme though is pretty obvious by now. However, the following contains some speculation.

    The priority aim is to deny Trump the presidency. He is too independent and a danger for several power centers within the ruling U.S. power circles. The selection of Tillerson as new Secretary of State only reinforces this (Prediction: Bolton will not get the Deputy position.) Tillerson is for profitable stability, not for regime change adventures. The institutional Trump enemies are:

    The CIA which has become the Central Assassination Agency under the Bush and Obama administrations. Huge parts of its budgets depend on a continuation of the war on Syria and the drone assassination campaigns in Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere. Trump's more isolationist policies would likely end these campaigns and the related budget troughs.

    The weapons industry which could lose its enormous sales to its major customers in the Persian Gulf should a President Trump reduce U.S. interference in the Middle East and elsewhere.

    The neoconservatives and Likudniks who want the U.S. as Israel's weapon to strong arm the Middle East to the Zionists' benefit.
    The general war hawks, military and "humanitarian interventionists" to whom any reduction of the U.S. role as primary power in the world is anathema to their believes.

    The current CIA director Brennan, a leading figure of the CIA torture program and Obama consigliere, is in the Clinton/anti-Trump camp. The former CIA heads Hayden and Panetta are public Clinton supporters as is torturer king and former CIA deputy director Michael Morell.

    It is thereby no wonder that the CIA is leading the anti-Russian campaign. Its task now is to implant the idea in the U.S. public that Russian intervention skewed the U.S. election towards Trump. The purpose is the delegitimization of the Trump victory in the eyes of the media and public but even more so in the eyes of the electors within the electoral college...

    That is one of the most unhinged things I have ever read, and I've read pretty widely. Worth revisiting over the next few years to see just how absurd it was.

    The EC will vote for Trump in a few days, so the 'coup' part will be dead in the water soon. Drone strikes will continue, 'war hawks' have already been nominated for senior positions and a 'Likudnik' has been nominated for Ambassador to Israel. So, a 'coup' against Trump is hardly going to make a difference there.

    No wonder 'Moon of Alabama' is the go to site for the most intellectually impaired conspiracy theorists & pro-Russian trolls.

    One democratic elector in Washington state said he was definitely not voting for Clinton (not Trump either). A second democratic elector in the same state said he probably wasn't voting for Clinton.
    They're more likely to be telling the truth because they know that she's already so far behind that it doesn't matter if they're faithless.

    One republican elector in Texas says he's not voting for Trump (nor Clinton). He's a never Trump guy.

    Those three are the only ones who've I've read that have spoken out publicly.

    I think both candidates will lose an elector or two, maybe three, but nothing surprising is going to happen.

    Hillary won't win the electoral college. If any Republican electors doesn't vote for Trump, they will most likely vote for another Republican. Not Hillary.

    During the election it was said that there were many people who would vote for Trump, but not say they would or did.
    How many electors are thinking that they can not vote for Trump because of how he behaves, or whatever reason they want to give.
    But are not telling anyone this.
    That on Monday, they will go vote. Just not for Trump.

    I don't know. Maybe zero.

    In many states, the electors must sign a pre arrangement document, that legally binds them to vote the same as the constituents. So the most they can do is not vote. But then no other politician in town wil do business with them in the future, so that will be rare. Trump is president. That's what looting communist's get. Get used to it punks.
