OHH BOY: More Electors Left Clinton Than Those Who Left Trump

Yep, it’s all over. 

For all the haters out there, your time is up, Donald J. Trump has officially won the 2016 election, nabbing 304 electoral votes. 

Today, Democratic and Republican electors ventured to their respective state capitals and cast their ballots to make the 2016 election official.

The Republican House will verify the results in January, but it’s done. Trump will become the 45th president of the United States on January 20. 

While there were rumors of defections or maneuvers among electors to lobby enough Republican electors to break from Trump - it never happened.

Even as attorney and brief 2016 Democratic candidate Lawrence Lessig said that 20 Trump electors could flip - it really was a pipe dream and in the end, to no ones suprise, more Clinton electors bolted from her than Republican ones abandoning Trump

 (via The Hill):

Four Democratic electors in Washington state cast votes for candidates other than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who carried the state.

Democratic electors in Maine, Minnesota and Colorado have separately tried to cast votes for different candidates, but saw their ballots barred. Clinton carried all three states.

Ahead of the Electoral College vote, the focus was on whether any voters would defect from casting ballots for Republican Donald Trump.

That didn’t happen. But two Republican electors in Texas chose alternatives to Trump. One, who had said weeks earlier he would switch is vote, chose Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich. The other chose former Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul.

Trump sealed his victory Monday evening when Texas’ 36 electoral votes pushed him over the edge of 270 with 304 votes.

[…]

One Maine elector expressed interest in going rogue by voting for Bernie Sanders instead, but was told he could not and voted for Clinton.

One Democratic elector in Washington State even voted for “faith spotted eagle” instead of Clinton - Ouch...

This pie-in-the-sky effort to block Trump was loaded with problems from the get go, and to make matters even more even more desperate Hollywood liberal elites - yeah you know, the people whose unbridled snobbery and elitism contributed to Clinton’s defeat - cut a video pleading with Republican electors to vote their conscience and block Trump. 

Talk about bringing an arsonist to put out a fire. The Right already can’t stand the Hollywood Left—and rightfully so. 

So let me ask you thins: did they really think a video with them pleading with GOP electors, saying they stand with them, is going to change their minds? 

Fat Chance...

But then again these same people wonder why they lost in 2016. 

But in truth, the answer is rather simple. Middle America doesn’t connect with them and they really does not like them. For goodness sake, Hillary called Trump supporters "deplorable."

So where do we go from here? Well, unless the GOP helps them out of it by royally screwing up after January 20 - the Democratic Party is going to have a long stay in the wilderness for a long time
