"The nation’s 538 presidential electors have been thrust into the political foreground like never before in American history. In the aftermath of a uniquely polarizing presidential contest, the once-anonymous electors are squarely in the spotlight, targeted by death threats, harassing phone calls and reams of hate mail. One Texas Republican elector said he’s been bombarded with more than 200,000 emails."

“I never can imagine harassing people like this. It’s just f----- up,” said Jim Rhoades, a Republican elector from Michigan who runs a home inspection service. “I’ve lost a bunch of business.”

To bad the protesters, malcontents and harassers didn't direct their efforts toward the DNC superdelegates not voting the will of their states electorate. There might well have been an entirely different outcome in the Nov. 8th elections.

Its not going to work, everything ive read trump is in with no problems. Saturday I was alone in the computer shop, sat is the day alot of guys stop around to shoot the breeze and have coffee. Two were democrats one voted for hillary the other said he couldnt bring himself to vote. BOTH said the left is embarassing themselves acting like total jerks and both said they are going independent. We hear that from democrats all the time

Hanger the liberal progressive scourge that think they are entitle to everything they want and who cater to ever little special interest at the expense of the rest of the country is about 25% of the democrat party.
Like the link I posted from a NY sen theres many Dems coming out AGAINST the liberal far left. I hope they continue they are categorically making fools out of themselves and turning other democrats against them.

Yep they have threaten to kill the one Michigan Elector, even threatened his wife and kids. Plus they have been sending thousands of emails to them.


Even had their Hollywood Elite make a video to the Electors. (well that's what the MS media calls them, I did think it was funny that they would call their actors.....Elites.) More than half of them.....don't even know who they are let alone be out talking about what they think they know about Trump or the Electoral College)

Oh well, today is the day that Hillary loses for the third time with just one election. Someone let that POS of know she is going down in the History Books as a 3 time loser. :laugh:

Its like I said.....real liberals are calling the illiberals unhinged. BO the peep was even out crying and whining that Hillary wasn't treated fairly. He knows whats up, and knows his legacy is now headed for the shitter.

Someone should have asked him if he needed a tissue for that issue. Then told him STFU with that stupid shit.

The left sure gives the rest of us lessons in the virtues of tolerance when they don't get their way.

Liberals always claim to want unity. They claim to repect dissent and debate. When they have the chance to prove they mean that, they fail every time.

If the Democrats continue on the course they are on right now, their party will implode. Maybe a complete reconstruction from the ground up is their best course of action.

Question is.....why are we letting Hollywood Liberals walk around talking shit and no one is giving them any flak for it? Its not like they are going to start anything other than trembling. They know the streets aren't a Hollywood set. They do know that much, Right?

And as one can see, the hard partisan Democrats are firmly stuck defending the course they are on right now. This is what they demanded and they are too stubborn and prideful to admit that they have misjudged the situation.

It is possible that this could lead to more alternatives than the current two party system. It looks like the Democrats may splinter into several special interest fringe groups.

They can say whatever they want. People can decide for themselves whether to simply dismiss them or not.

Personally, I like seeing these hacks expose themselves. Their actions show that they are exactly the type of people they claim to oppose.

Will Rogers said, a long time ago, "I don't belong to any organized political party. I'm a democrat" That disorganization is a constant, and has been for nearly a century.

These "elite" actors are the worst kind of hypocrites. They are anti gun but they surround themselves with armed bodyguards. They live in mansions with swimming pools and spas and elaborate home theaters. They are chauffeured around or drive sports cars. Many have their own jet planes. They use way way way more than their fair share of energy and they add way way way more "greenhouse" gasses to our atmosphere. When they work they earn anywhere from $3000 to $10000 per hour. They can't honestly speak for "working" people.

Not this Democrat.....she will lose another Electoral vote from Maine. As this guy is now voting for Bernie Sanders. Talk about more humiliation for Hill Dog. She should go crawl back under that rock from whence she came.



Rogue Elector: One Of Maine's Electoral College Votes Is Going To...Bernie Sanders.....


In the 2016 election, Maine had a historic first: it split its Electoral College votes. Donald Trump had an 11-point victory in Maine's 2nd congressional district but lost the state and the 1st congressional district, meaning that he won one electoral vote to Hillary Clinton's three.

Now, it appears as though Clinton will only walk away with two Electoral College votes from the Pine Tree State. One Democrat Elector, David Bright, has said that he will not vote (http://www.pressherald.com/2016/12/19/maine-electoral-college-elector-says-he-will-cast-his-ballot-for-sanders/) for Clinton in today's vote. Instead, he'll be voting for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who handily won (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/christinerousselle/2016/03/06/bernie-sanders-wins-maine-caucuses-n2129576) Maine's Democratic caucus in March.


Bright explained that he is casting his vote for Sanders to send a message to his multitude of young supporters in the state. He also elaborated that he's doing this because doing so would not change the overall outcome of the election.....snip~

Maine elector has vote for Sanders ruled improper, switches vote to Clinton



Source: Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Maine — A Democratic Maine elector’s vote for US Sen. Bernie Sanders was ruled improper Monday and he switched his vote to Hillary Clinton.

Earlier in the day, it appeared that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is going to get at least one of Maine’s four electoral votes.

Democratic elector David Bright originally said he’d vote for Sanders only under the unlikely scenario in which Republican President-elect Donald Trump failed to get the necessary 270 votes.

But he said Monday he intends to vote for Sanders anyway to acknowledge the efforts of the young supporters of Sanders, who beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in Maine’s presidential caucuses.

It's actually four. And I bet it's all because of the Russians. I'll have proof eventually, I'm sure.
