In reply to the discussion: A member of Congress has gone there! Called for Electoral College to STOP TRUMP [View all]politicaljunkie41910
(3,335 posts)in not voting for Trump but for another Republican of their choosing. And according to them they are now recruiting Dems to join them, but they would have to be willing to cast their vote for another Repug as the Hamilton Faithless are not willing to vote for Hillary even though she has garnered more than 2.6M legitimate votes than Trump. I say no way should they agree to such terms.
Should they be able to pull it off, they'd just pick another repugnant member of the GOP who wants to lower corporate tax rates to 15%, allow corporations to repatriate profits sitting off shore somewhere which they will use to create jobs here in America (ha ha), and eliminate the inheritance tax, and allow Wall St bankers and Hedgefund managers to keep treating their earned income as Carried Interest which allows them to pay federal taxes at the Capital Gains rate of 10% and 20% while paying no Social Security and Medicare Taxes. The Repugs will lower taxes while allowing Trump to go on an Infrastructure Spending spree and Defense Spending spree which will blow a hole in the National Debt which will leave Paul Ryan with no choice but to gut Social Security and Medicare benefits for the masses because we can longer pay our debt at the current levels because Wall St. bankers are calling for the Fed to hike the federal interest rates at the same time.
