In reply to the discussion: A member of Congress has gone there! Called for Electoral College to STOP TRUMP [View all]AlexSFCA
(6,314 posts)There is a push to cast a vote for John Kasich - I'll take it. I am pretty sure any push for electors to cast a vote for Clinton will be viewed as partisan and it's simply not productive for us to think otherwise. We are fighting to protect democracy by asking electors to fulfill their constitutional duty by blocking a demagogue influenced by foreign power. When it comes to Trump, impeachement won't work cause the house is demoralized and senate alone is not sufficient.
I understand there is a possibility that the house will vote for Trump anyway but it's not a given. Paul Ryan is at odds with Trump in regards to many issues including free trade. I think most republicans will be comfortable with Kasich.
CIA is throwing us a bone and moral ground for electors to become 'faithless'.
