SGM Charlie Fergurson has it right. EC can TRY to elect HRC in, if they want a revolution on their hands.

I am amazed at the strident whining from the left about the Electoral College. What a bunch of hypocrites. Up until 21:00 hours on 8 November 2016 Clinton was secure in her arrogance that the Electoral College would grant her victory because her much vaunted electoral wall would not be breached. She arrogantly and divisively referred to anyone who did not support her as bigots and deplorable human beings with barely concealed disgust for the rednecks and cretins of ‘flyover’ America ; referring to them as racist and misogynistic and homophobic. Now, the liberal political and cultural establishment is surprised and shocked that the the electoral college was used by her opponent to win an improbable victory against them. They are aghast that factory workers, the veterans, the cops, the kitchen help, people who plow the fields, make the trains run, pick up the trash and keep the country together and keep it moving had the insolence to think for themselves. John Adams once said "...Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence..." The facts are that the Trump team was fully aware that the United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles and that there are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them while Clinton won 57. Further there are 53 cities in America whose metro areas exceed 1 million in population. In 2016 Hillary Clinton won 47 of those 53 cities, a result that encompassed 154 million people, or 48 per cent of the population. However, her campaign ignored the 52 per cent of the population that encompasses the rural vote and that rural vote beat her and her urban voters, and it beat them badly; thus giving Trump a 306 to 232 Electoral College advantage. In point of fact Clinton's loss in the 2016 election came down to the plight of Rust Belt voters in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan and Wisconsin. She ignored them and took their votes for granted - again that much vaunted blue electoral wall. What was even more striking was the fact that after spending 1.2 Billion Dollars Clinton and her Thirty Something Geniuses behind her campaign still failed to carry 194 of the 207 counties that voted for Obama either in 2008 or 2012, thus propelling Trump to the Whitehouse. So this is not about the popular vote - it is about the fact that one campaign connected with Middle America and one - due to its arrogance and derision toward the residents of "flyover country" did not. As my Poly Sci professor once said "...all politics is local..." Seems that Conway took that to heart and Clinton's team just ignored it.

The root of the problem is that HC has a distorted view of the world because she lack empathy—the ability to intuit and vicariously experience what others are thinking and feeling. HC is sheltered in her mind behind walls of narcissism, arrogance and haughtiness. She is unable to connect with the populous because of this. Also, because she see all of us as the “despicables” and thus subservient to her and those in power. She is consumed with the pursuit of power because she feels it is her turn. She supported her adulterous husband, who also lied to the America with the same contempt for the people, made a deal with Obama to take a back seat and serve as “Madam Secretary” and expected the whole liberal apparatus is going to do whatever it takes to make her the preident. That apparatus includes the DNC, non for profit voting hacks (funded by the Clinton Foundation), and the liberal media just to name a few.

LCDR (Join to see) - The problem with the whining hypocrites is simply that they thought the election and been bought and paid for, if you add the weight of the present administration, the corrupt agencies, the state run media and over a Billion in advertising, How could they loose?
They totally misread the people of this country, they are now deadly afraid of the consequences of the erradication of eight years of destroying from within and the leftist policies imposed upon this nation, the vote was a total repudiation of obama's agenda.

it wont be put to rest until the EC votes, then counted and I can even see Soros sponsoring some idiot suing the EC in court for not voting for HRC. For no other reason than to sabotage the presidency. The whole time doing nothing but cutting our nations own throat.
