Republicans have done nothing but genuflect in front of Trump since the election, we're fortunate to have had 2 not vote for Trump, they are as shocked as we are that he won and are GLEEFULLY lining up for jobs.
Hell, Kasich is probably not rightwing enough for most of those electors, or the House GOP, let alone Powell, who broke ranks to support Obama. Wanted a real chance at this crazy scheme? The half-assed effort we got wasn't good enough, how about this if all 232 Democratic electors had said they were voting for Ted Cruz, that might have tempted 38 Republican electors, maybe the entire Texas delegation. Would you have wanted that? I think I'd honestly rather have fucking Trump than that wingnut Cruz.
I can respect the Bernie elector in Hawaii and the one who voted for the Native American activist, either of which might have been a better candidate than HRC, but voting for a Republican? Even a "moderate" like Colin Powell? When every rational person knew there was NO chance of this working. No.
Sorry if I sound testy just, ugh. 
This "real" election is just as painful as the one in November. To see our electoral count go even lower, for nothing, just makes me...... I once entertained the thought that Trump could actually end up with ZERO electoral votes. I thought common decency might be stronger than partisanship, or self interested partisanship might lead down ballot Republicans to cut bait totally. But no they all voted for him, and he had fucking coatails in the Missouri Senate race.
