5. Pitiful. We should not be held hostage by misinformed, uninformed masses...

If the electoral college voters needed any more evidence that they need to protect our country from a huge mistake made by millions of misinformed and uninformed people, then they can add this to their pile.

Misinformed voters were lied to by leaders, media and outside influences, including enemies of the state. They were given the wrong book and failed the test.

Uninformed voters were unable or too uninterested to learn enough to make an informed decision. They didn't study and failed the test.

Either way, they failed the test.

67% of Trump voters say that unemployment increased during the Obama administration, to only 20% who say it decreased.

Only 41% of Trump voters say that the stock market went up during the Obama administration. 39% say it went down, and another 19% say they're not sure.

A lot of these people voted for T because they were convinced the economy was a mess.

The informed citizens are not supposed to just sit back and accept a huge mistake by manipulated people and let an ignorant, racist, fascist narcissist take control of our country. And these are not just personal insults, they are a truthful description of Trump based on evidence, facts and actions.

One look at the admin T's putting together and it's almost as if he's trying to convince the electors to vote for Hillary. Or dare them. Either way, they should just do it. And not just 37 of them. Way more than that because they have the obligation to do it after all we've learned since election day.

Who will he appoint next? Rush Limbaugh for FCC Chairman?

Electors from every close state should vote for Hillary just to cover the spread.

if Obama makes some calls to the electors I'm pretty sure he could tell them to vote Clinton!

even if the electors switch to Clinton, the votes still need to be ratified by a Republican run congress.

The sooner you face that the better. Obama is not going to interfere with a peaceful transition, nor should he.

The thought of the orange shitweasel with a mangy merkin on his dome sitting in the Oval Office alternately nauseates and terrifies me.

But lacking indisputable evidence of wrongdoing, the peaceful transfer of power following an election, even a contested election, is a hallmark of our democracy.

They proved to be completely useless and may have encouraged complacency among potential Democrartic voters.

14. What Trump voters really believe

Absolute and easy to check falsehoods, like the stock market went DOWN during Obama's 8 years... (it went way up)
and like joblessness went way UP during those same 8 years... (it went down).

Was there ever such a bunch of suckers all at the same time in America before?
