    I am glad Trump won ..... the liberals needed their corrupt house of cards overthrown and I don't think any other Republican could of done it

    People got offended but God decided to use a loud mouth, obnoxious, carnal person to cause havoc to the left

    Hillary would of been far far worse and emboldened greater anti christian agenda

    I didn't realize that the bible spelled out the qualifications of a president. I see qualifications for bishops and elders, but none for president. We weren't voting for a church elder or pastor or bishop. We voted for a man to run the nation.

    Exactly. And a platform that didn't endorse murder of innocent lives.

    Aren't the electoral college committed to voting per their state voters wishes? The ONLY reason for the electoral college is to have every state represented individually so that larger states with large populations cannot control every election...

    As for this guy.."Sisneros said he ultimately arrived at the decision to resign rather than become a "faithless elector"
    he should not have even accepted in the first place....his agenda was too specific...the electorates are representatives of the voters, not their personal agenda...at least that's what they are supposed to be...

    If the electoral college votes contrary to the unanimous vote of their state as Hillary stated, it will be the end of Democracy and the end result would be very bad for America...think people are divided and oppositional now... Let's just say I would not want to be one of them ...

    Yes...they are not in a good lace because if they vote per the majority as they should the left hates them..if they violate that trust the right will go after them....

    I would prefer standing my ground on my commitment...and carry a gun....and secure my property...after all they are in danger either way..

    That was my understanding as well. Though, if we are to continue the electoral college, then the votes need to represent the voting of the state. I think the percentage that votes in the general population, should be the percentage that is given by the electoral college. i.e. some states have to give 100% of the vote, no matter if gen. pop. vote was 51% to 49%.

    It's the states right to decide how to allocate their votes. No one has a problem with this until someone's pick doesn't get in.
