[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you assuming the faithless electors will switch to Hillary? They won't - they can write in whomever they desire.
Hillary Clinton will not be President, I guarantee that. But it could possibly someone that is more palatable to the Never Trump faction. Congressional Democrats would be wise to settle on a unity candidate. Leave the hard right out in the dust for the good of the country.[/quote]

It's not going to happen.

The red states would promptly vote to leave the union.  "Middle America" would become it's own country and would name Trump its president.  "West America" and "East America" would probably not unite for logistical reasons.  The landlocked blue states would probably join Middle America, and California would simply choose to become its own country.  Virginia might even join Middle America despite voting for Clinton.

Trump supporters in East and West America and Clinton supporters who believe in electoral fairness would probably move to Middle America, causing significant shifts in the demographics of North America.

Why would the electors risk tearing the country apart by taking the presidency from the person who won and giving it to someone who wasn't even in the running?  Trump is not Hitler.[/quote]
