    3 Hillary electors voted for Colin Powell. Nice.

    Well... now that Hillary has lost the vote in the elector college, are her supporters ready to admit defeat?
    Or, will you hold out hope that the GOP controlled house will toss the election out and vote someone else in?

    Even though I'm glad Clinton took it in the shirts, I'm disgusted that the electors went against the voters and voted for a guy who didn't even run.

    While I'm glad Trump won I can't say I'm happy with electors going against their pledge and not doing their job by representing the people.

    It's amazing that Hillary Clinton who cried and whined about "honoring the Democratic process", was the biggest hypocrite. How ironic that it was she who lost electoral votes. The Liberals are in total denial on why they lost.

    I'm pretty sure if the general election happened again tomorrow, Hillary would lose by a landslide. The behavior of the progs has been repulsive to all.
