I ' ve been thinking about this today At work , not at a meal , don ' t worry and realized I left out the second part of the whole EC thing . You beat me to it . I ' ll compose something to send to them . I ' m not convinced overriding the vote would be good in the shortterm , but I ' m fairly certain there is not a lot more dangerous than Trump or more specifically , many who he wants to put in positions of power being where hethey will be come next spring . You raise some good points I hadn ' t seriously considered , such as that they are not limited to the candidates in the race . They could choose McMullin or Kasich or Omalley or Sanders or Hillary or freaking Mickey Mouse . I ' m slowly realizing I ' m not a conservative , at least in the current usage of the word but I could certainly abide a President Kasich or President Romney or someone of that temperament .
