Dear God, I have a Electoral College Eve Request
Dear God,
Please make the Electoral College earn their keep tomorrow (or today for you East Coast readers) and actually pick somebody different than Donald Trump.
The Electoral College has not done anything exciting since John Quincy Adams.

Thanks

2016 is a year full of surprises heartaches shock sorrow losses upsets, could there be one more?
Not from the Electoral Collage, would be a safe bet. Just thinking of the outrage from the Donald and his followers will scary them into casting the votes like expected. Then hope he can be tempered by his counselors.

Democrats: Stop Squirming, Take Your Loss, Learn Your Lesson, And Stop Acting Crazy

And what are you doing now, Democrats? Oh that’s right, you’re trying to start a civil war at home with an electoral coup and start a world war with a nuclear superpower abroad. Jesus Christ you guys are such drama queens. Just take your damn medicine already. You lost. It’s okay. Everyone loses sometimes. Now it’s time to learn from your mistakes, admit where you went wrong, and start fixing the damage you did with your betrayal of your progressive base this year.

Possible Trump is working on a merger of the two super powers, imagine the savings from economies of scale.

Someone will see themselves as junior partner, sooner or later, and then China will have a new BFF.

First faithless elector casts surprise vote
http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/201...e_results.html

Quote:
President-elect Donald Trump has received 179 of the Electoral College votes cast so far this day compared to 93 for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the latest tallies.

As of noon, one "faithless elector" - the name given to electors who vote contrary to the candidate that won their state - has emerged. While much of the attention on electors abandoning their candidate centered on Trump, the first faithless elector switched from Clinton to her primary challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
