Report: Trump threatening electors who don’t vote for him with ‘political reprisal’

Posted by | December 14, 2016 12:43 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

Donald Trump is diving right into the role of authoritarian leader and he hasn’t even been certified by the Electoral College. How, do you ask? Well, he is levying threats against the GOP electors, which sounds an awful lot like something the mob would do…. “If you don’t do as I say, I’ll break your kneecaps.”…

    I sure wish people would quit looking at Kasich. It sure seems to me that someone like Huntsman would do a lot better job at bringing the country back together.

      They shouldn’t be voting for anyone other than the two who were running, the one who actually received the majority of votes should get it.

        Well, that ain’t going to happen. A compromise is the best we can hope for. If it is going to go down to Hillary or tRump, it’s going to tRump.

          Dump it in the lap of the house of representatives.
          They should bare both the responsibility and burden of the blame.

            That’s what I’m thinking. I would just like for them to have choice between two republicans. One known to be awful and one kinda moderate. I bet they would go for the moderate one. I doubt anyone wants to tie their career to the orange one if they can help it. No way would the house choose Hillary, that is just reality.

        i’m with you on this. nearly 68 million people, a majority, doesn’t want it to go to anyone else except the winner chosen by the people. some 3rd person not on the ballot is not acceptable.

          Emotionally I am with you, but the backlash would destroy the U.S.

            we’ll get through it.

      Huntsman would be Okay.

    It would be so much fun to watch the republicans react if enough electors would vote in Hillary…Trump made this the most hateful, ugly and violent election in history, what better way to end it than with an unprecedented ‘coup’ of the Electoral College!!
    It would be interesting to see what the Supreme Court would say or do, (all eight of them)…
