      It has to be to stressed just how extreme of an idea this is. It's never happened before in US history. It flies in the face of all "norms."

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

      It's amazing how blithely @EJDionne, @lessig & others call for this. They casually request the sudden overturning of centuries of precedent.

      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.

          calm down about this. Obama is in touch with Trump regularly now. I don't think party operatives or others keen for civil war

          1. It's not a coup. 2. All of those people think she's uniquely dangerous, unfit because she's a woman. 3. Not preposterous.

          Because "many people view HRC" that way based on demonstrable falsehoods and/or unproven accusations.
