This is huge news, people! Watch the interview with Chuck Todd linked for a lot more discussion.
He also says, in the interview, that there may be as many as 30, but he’s pretty confident about 20. However, he also says that if they don’t get as many as 40 before the 19th—not enough to have a good chance of winning—they may not cast a vote of conscience. On one level, I can understand that, given that their political careers have been explicitly threatened (www.dailykos.com/...) (though that was likely always an implicit threat). But I hope enough remain firm to give Trump a historic rebuke to take him down a notch from his “historic landslide” idiocy, and to show the Republican party that a false unity around this man, who only dictates unity and does nothing to reach out for it, will not work.
Six days.
For a preview of what might come next if this succeeds, check out my diary series on a Contingent Election. Here’s part 3, which describes a path to Clinton winning. www.dailykos.com/…
It’s not over. Keep fighting.
