Let's buy the electors....

Perhaps now we see first hand what we all have in store for us come January, we should think about a unique way for the Electoral College to prevent Trump from becoming President. Since a heartfelt plea for good health care, less war, more workers' rights, etc isn't going to persuade them, perhaps cold hard cash will.

How much do you think it would take to buy a Trump Electoral College vote?

This may seem radical, but this is what they voted for and perhaps a little taste of their own medicine would be in order.
