That is because these people from the Trump states are idiots. The ONLY right choice would be to choose the popular vote winner, Hillary Clinton.

Any candidate who did not run in the GE and selected by the EC would be illegitimate, just as the USSC picked GWB as president.

Cold day in hell the EC would EVER select a Democrat to be in the WH.

I think state secession is a very distinct possibility.
