10. If this is directed at the Electoral College, they should save their breath.

The more I think of it, the more I believe the WORST IDEA POSSIBLE is the notion of the "Hamilton Electors." They are arrogant little shits who think they have a duty to invalidate the votes of 130 MILLION voters. They have no right to do this.

The people who started this were anti-Clinton assholes. Forget them.

Actually, it is most beneficial from a Democratic Party perspective for the EC to put Trump in. The inevitable will happen. Trump will disintegrate, the GOP will be torn apart, and this will benefit the Democratic Party in future elections.

That is why, folks, the Democrats are being relatively silent about this. The party regulars know way more than we do about strategy.

ETA: I have let the Hamilton Electors website know EXACTLY how I feel about their bullshit organization and their bullshit scheme but in nicer language.
