I sure do.

Nobody is going to convince the electors to vote for Clinton when they are Republican. But this is just a scenario that the EC was created for--to save the masses from themselves. I'd be happy if they voted for Romney instead of Trump.

I'm sure you'll alert on this, too, but that seems silly. All Republicans aren't exactly the same.
