Donald Trump Ascends as Detractors Admit Electoral College Defeat

Political insiders say the Electoral College is going to vote for Donald Trump on Monday, no matter what those on the far left would have it believed.

The big takeaway?

Time to stop all this nonsense about an Electoral College uprising and outright ousting of Trump. Just ain’t gonna happen, folks.

As even the left-leaning Politico put it:

“There’s no way the Electoral College will wrest the presidency away from Donald Trump when electors meet in 50 state capitals on Monday.

“That’s according to The Politico Caucus — a panel of activists, operatives and strategists in 11 key battleground states.”

Call it the formal ascension of Donald Trump to the White House – a day his political opponents have fought to avoid, casting the members of the Electoral College as finicky, uncertain and prepared to bolt their Republican leader.

But alas, it’s not to be.

As Politico notes:

“Of the more than 160 Republican and Democratic insiders surveyed last week, only one thought it was likely that 37 or more GOP electors would defect to deny Trump a majority.”

For weeks, however, the story from the left was different and spoke of an outright rebellion of the Electoral College leading to a possible installment of Hillary Clinton in the White House.

Harvard law professor Larry Lessig, for instance, said just a few days ago that up to 20 Republican electors were considering a vote against Trump.

But let’s be real.

From the Guardian:

“The chances of that are exceptionally slim. The only Republican rebel to come out so far is Christopher Suprun, an elector from Texas. On the Republican side, nobody knows the extent, if any, of a potential uprising by electors beyond him. A survey by Associated Press found little enthusiasm among Republican electors for joining the rebellion.”

Look beyond the headlines, and even mainstream media members are being forced to concede an Electoral College uprising just isn’t going to happen.

And again, from Politico:

“More than 70 percent of insiders said the number of so-called ‘faithless electors’ will be fewer than 10.

“That is in keeping with a Republican National Committee whip count that reported just one of the 306 GOP electors was planning to cast a vote against Trump.

“A group of Democratic electors hoping to persuade their Republican counterparts to vote against Trump are urging them to unite behind a consensus GOP candidate. Most of these Democrats have said they will not cast their votes for Hillary Clinton, but their efforts are highly unlikely to succeed and it’s unclear how many of them will follow through.”

Note to left: It’s high time to bow heads and admit the obvious, painful as that may be – Trump is going to be the next president of the United States.
