@EJDionne's world, there might as well have been no election. State legislatures could just select electors, and then they pick the Prez. -

Electors are bound to the popular will as expressed in their individual state, not nationally. So yes, they'd be "subverting popular will."

Many people viewed HRC as a uniquely dangerous, unfit candidate. Would've been preposterous for them to advocate an Electoral College coup.
-
Each state (along with DC) holds a popular vote contest, and Trump won a requisite number of those. This really isn't hard to grasp.

Like GOP pretending "8 is enough" on SCOTUS and Trump not releasing tax returns or selling business are routine in our history.
