The election of the next president is not yet a done deal. Electors of conscience can still do the right thing for the good of the country. Presidential electors have the legal right and a constitutional duty to vote their conscience. I believe electors should unify behind a Republican alternative, an honorable and qualified man or woman such as Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. I pray my fellow electors will do their job and join with me in discovering who that person should be.

Wow. Brave stating this before the vote, probably at the peril of being replaced. I think some states allow for that. This is our only hope right now. My money was on Romney, but interesting that he names Kasich specifically. Anyway it doesn't matter so long as enough (37 I think) electors defect. They don't need to be united on anything. The HoR will vote between the top 3 vote getters in that case, with Democrats presumably voting for whoever the not Trump Republican is (that is assuming the 30 or so Republicans also vote for him (dare I say him and not her?)). I've heard all the arguments for Trump and I think they're all horseshit. Electors can do what they want, and if they still care about America (he's floated a felon for State and ineligible general for Defense) they will not cast their lot for him. Two weeks and we'll find out, but it's still fun to speculate until that last lost of innocence arrives :)
