1. Those electors aren't going to do shit.

They are stupid partisans, just like those who voted for him and still support him.

2. The Supreme Court has held it is legit for a party to demand a pledge

from a prospective elector before he/she is allowed to be made part of the party's slate of electors. Under the circumstances, it's hard to see how it could be illegitimate for the party to tell a faithless elector that there will be consequences within the party from not supporting the party's nominee.

3. They Just Want To Get Max Possible

In no way are they concerned about reaching 270. They want to limit the # of defectors though, since obviously it makes them look bad. But the defectors will # in the single digits, probably 5 or less.

If there was a serious concern, you would see them freaking out.

4. You may be right?

I think the electors should be given the time and space to make the very best decision available.
