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.

29 States + DC also have laws against Faithless Electors. It would be a full-blown Constitutional Crisis

These laws are opaque and seldom enforced.

Precedent? They are calling for the end of voters' trust in the electoral process which provides the legitimacy of our government.
