The electors vote Monday on who will be president. Either Donald Trump will win outright (as he should), or the Clinton-Soros thugs who are sending death threats to electors and their family may cave and throw the election to the House of Representatives. You’ve seen that one “Republican” dope from Texas who looks like Glenn Beck’s bastard child saying he’ll vote for Hillary Clinton. But you haven’t heard much from any other Republican electors, only Democrats.
Clinton-Soros supporters still harassing electors |

In two days, members of the Electoral College will cast their historic votes for the next president of the United States. In the meantime, they are under siege.
The nation’s 538 presidential electors have been thrust into the political foreground like never before in American history. In the aftermath of a uniquely polarizing presidential contest, the once-anonymous electors are squarely in the spotlight, targeted by death threats, harassing phone calls and reams of hate mail. One Texas Republican elector said he’s been bombarded with more than 200,000 emails.
“I never can imagine harassing people like this. It’s just f—– up,” said Jim Rhoades, a Republican elector from Michigan who runs a home inspection service. “I’ve lost a bunch of business.”
In recent decades, the Electoral College had become such a reliable rubber stamp of Election Day results that it was viewed as an afterthought.
But with many Democrats desperate to block the all-but-certain ascension of Donald Trump to the White House, this long-neglected body has been gripped by turmoil, and its members have been subjected to pleas to upend centuries of tradition by casting their votes for someone other than the president-elect.
Aside from Chris Suprun, who’s looking to cash in on his 15 minutes of fame, I don’t expect any shenanigans on Monday. But we’ll see. Clinton-Soros supporting thugs may scare a few more electors.
