Not sure about a new election but Electoral College should not vote Trump in now

I think that is pretty clear. While I would like to see a new election and perhaps it is possible, I think the focus should be on pressuring the Electoral College not to trust Trump as he may be either working in conjunction with or compromised by Putin.

and if a few Republicans do as well or some don't vote for Trump, then we could end up with whoever that is. Hopefully not Pence. If there is a chance at a new election that would be awesome though. Not holding my breath.

I could stomach a Mitt Romney, or similar Rethug vs the traitor Dump.

he was on the same tainted ticket. they ran as a ticket. they need to go down as a ticket.
talking about the impeachment route is one thing, but no damn way should the electors seat him. and srsly, i cure would never go that far only to install someone just as tainted. that just makes no sense.

and to overlook the popular vote, which clearly shows the will of the people, would just be hackery of the highest order.
ps- the polls were right. the votes are wrong.
