On Monday the 538 Presidential electors will meet in their home states to cast their vote for President. Trump has 306 of those votes but some Democrats are still hoping to persuade 37 Republican electors to resign, not vote, or vote for Hillary, denying Trump the 270 votes he needs to be elected President. They are hoping to throw the election to Congress to choose the next President. In the history of our elections there have only been 157 of these ‘faithless electors’. The chance of getting 37 this year are nil but that hasn’t stopped a group of ill informed Hollywood Actors from trying hard to make it happen. Bless their clueless hearts.
A list of all electors from each of the 50 states can be found here.

The $%^ing Washington Post is fanning these flames today, if you follow Drudge– the banner headline. I don’t know how serious this is, but that POS paper is on it. ironic that liberals who want the electoral college eliminated are now trying to use it to nullify the election. Do these simpletons really think that should this happen and Hillary win, there won’t be a violent reaction? In the article they cite the Russian hacking that they seem to have invented as a major reason for Trump’s win, thus justifying the electoral college reversal of the results. Yet they can only cite unnamed sources at the CIA. If you allege that the election was stolen and you work at the CIA, you had better put your damn name on the report. And undoubtedly George Soros is funding this nullification effort. If you look at the groups proposing, this I would bet you can trace their income back to that vile scum.
Sometimes actors act in a farce.
According th Merriam-Webster’s Thesaurus, a related word to actor is scene-stealer.
They are called actors because they are always acting up 🙂
So they want to create a Constitutional crisis do these B lists actors? They speak of respect for the Constitution? That is laughable coming from liberals. I would like these dung heads to show me in the Constitution where I will find the right to abortion. Where the federal government can expand itself ad naseum via the Commerce Clause. For Hollywood to attempt this attack on the election… well it i sickening. More reason why I won’t give them a dime of my money to support their bull.
The attacks on the Electoral College and Donald Trump continue unabated. These leftist want to change the Electoral College into a mini-House of Representatives rather than a body whose purpose is to finalize the election of a President. On the 19th, good people will do what they are supposed to do and represent the interests of their state rather than following the whims of Californians.
I get a kick out of these lefties calling Trump a demagogue. Did they not just witness 8 years of a President who paid virtually no attention to the Constitution with its the Bill of Rights and the rule of law. If there has ever been a demagogue, it is Obama. My goodness, he had a stage built with Greek columns from which to speak as if an emperor. Trump went to the people.
The ridiculous behavior of these actors and actresses is one of the reasons I don’t go to movies or care to watch the various broadcast TV networks. They want me to appreciate their acting while they insult me at every turn. Even the cable networks are starting to become insipid because they can’t find actors and actresses who just keep their mouths shut – They have to dabble in politics and cultural destruction.
Right on
