Trump and Faithless Electors

Latest Polls (view all)

In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?

22.22% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.

77.78% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.

0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.

Rob Crilly of the Washington Examiner reports that President Trump's supporters cheer a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

Christopher Suprun, a Texas Republican, could not bring himself to vote for his party's nominee when he exercised his duty as a member of 2016's Electoral College. Lingering questions about Donald Trump's grasp of foreign policy, old comments on race, and his opaque personal finances meant he instead chose then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
The abuse followed swiftly.
"I was doxxed, threatened, and followed," he said. "Same with my wife. Same with my kids."
But given the chance, Suprun would do the same again in 2020, he told the Washington Examiner, even after the Supreme Court this week upheld the right of states to penalize "faithless electors."
On Monday, the justices unanimously ruled against the argument that electors, appointed to act on behalf of a state, can reject election results to exercise their own discretion in the candidate they back.
The outcome was welcomed by his supporters, who said it not only respected the will of the Founding Fathers, but it fixed a potential hurdle for the president's reelection campaign.
"I believe the Supreme Court made the right decision, consistent with the Constitution, that the states 'may' require presidential electors to support the winner of the popular vote in their state," said Doug Deason, co-chair of the Texas Victory Fund. "Obviously, if the November election is close, this ruling is more likely to benefit President Trump over Biden. Any rogue electors would probably be more likely to oppose the president's reelection."
The court action stemmed from an attempt in 2016 by a number of Democratic electors to encourage Republicans to vote against Trump, tilting the Electoral College toward defeated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Her campaign chairman wanted to go further and urged intelligence chiefs to brief electors on Russian interference in the election.

Ten Years (now 24 years later) After 9/11: a Recollection, a Time to Remember

It was a clear beautiful, royal blue sky day on Wall Street. The S & P futures were up markedly, awaiting a positive open, as I turn to get my first cup of coffee. I return to CNBC to get the morning business news, when I notice that the S & P futures are falling, and they're falling fast.
