In which case the electricians would save our asses from making a stupid mistake with a pompous impulsive manchild.

They're needed to rewire the voting machines.

The handful of elitists at the top who wear suits and ties decided who to endorse.

You can bet the majority of the rank and file will pull the lever for Trump.

The electricians are working stiffs.

Most of them will be voting for Trump.

Same goes for the plumbers and the carpenters, truck drivers, brick masons, mechanics, etc etc. Everybody that does the real work that keeps our society going.

The Hillary voters on the other hand are the ones with the non-jobs where they sit in an office behind a computer screen and fire off emails and shuffle papers that nobody gives a shit about.

If electricians is a typo for electors then you are assuming that Trump would get the popular vote.

Actually, and if I understand correctly, this is would not happen. If it falls to the house, each state representatives will gather and amongst themselves decide how that state should cast a vote. Each state gets only one vote. So if you look at the number of states that are held by the GOP, not the number of seats held, it will likely fall on the party lines. I think that is currently republican, approximately 20 states are dem, 30 are GOP.

To further elaborate on my first post, if Trump gets in, he is likely to be charged and then removed from office. This leaves Pence in charge. Of course, this is if the election falls to the house.

If this were to play out as you have suggested, Trump can only be removed by impeachment and he cannot be impeached for crimes he committed before assuming the Presidency. I am not even sure this is how it works and probably why sane people do not want Trump in the WH.

Question remains that if the electoral college vote is ties, does the house have to select between Trump and Hillary? I cannot find a definite answer for this.
