Time for a brave Electoral College to avert disaster

4. Wouldn't be hard to do? Ms. Parker must've been drunk when she wrote those words.

Gee, all you have to do is persuade 38 (not 37 as is often stated) Trump electors to abandon him and all 232 of Clinton's electors to agree on a common candidate for whom to cast their ballots. Not. Going. To. Happen.

Even the less ambitious plan, where 37 of Trump's electors bolt leaving no one with an EC majority is a pipe dream. It isn't going to happen and if it did, Congress would select the President from amongst the top three EC vote getters -- presumably Trump, Clinton and either Kasich or Romney. Guess what -- the Republican dominated congressional delegations aren't going to dump Trump if he is the top electoral vote getter amongst that group.

Geez. No one I know looks forward to a Trump presidency, but let's try to remain in the realm of reality.
