    Republican Texas Elector Vows He Will Not Vote For Trump

    A Republican member of the Electoral College vowed Monday that he will not cast his vote for Donald Trump, saying the president-elect lacks the necessary foreign policy experience and demeanor to be commander-in-chief.

    In an op-ed in the New York Times, Texas elector Christoper Suprun called on other electors to reject Trump and to instead unify behind former presidential candidate Gov. John Kasich of Ohio.

    "The election of the next president is not yet a done deal. Electors of conscience can still do the right thing for the good of the country," Suprun wrote.

    "Presidential electors have the legal right and a constitutional duty to vote their conscience. I believe electors should unify behind a Republican alternative, an honorable and qualified man or woman such as Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. I pray my fellow electors will do their job and join with me in discovering who that person should be."

    Suprun criticized Trump for picking advisers like Stephen Bannon and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, as well as for the multiple conflicts of interest with his business once he takes office.

    Suprun, who was a first responder to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, wrote that he would again "defend my country and Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic," by voting against Trump.

    If Suprun follows through on his promise not to vote for Trump when the Electoral College meets on Dec. 19, he'll become the first "faithless elector" since 2004, according to fairvote.org.

    More than three dozen more electors would need to defect to deny Trump the 270 votes he needs to win the presidency. A group in Colorado and Washington state is also considering an effort to convince Republican Electoral College voters to cast their votes for Kasich.

    While Texas doesn't have any laws requiring electors vote for whoever won its electoral votes, 29 states issue a variety of rarely enforced punishments, including fines and misdemeanors.

    It is probably time to eliminate the "electors" from the electoral college. It seems to me to still have them is a weak link in the democratic chain. They were needed 240 years ago because not everybody could travel to Philly to vote. Not needed now.

    Another elector could not vote for Trump, and he dropped out. IMO, this elector should do the same. Trump was the one on the ballot, not the elector.

    It's the whole premise around the electoral college. Get rid of electors and you get rid of the electoral college.

    Half of them are morons though. Have some stupid 19 year old in Washington state who isn't going to vote for who they're supposed to out of protest to Trump winning.. yet Clinton won Washington. Fkn moron.

    Right if they can't do it, then let someone else.

    I never understood why people needed to take an oath for that. Only a matter of time now before Christopher runs into someone who will defend this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

    no, he isn't and coming from someone who has been proven to be low IQ like yourself you're just reconfirming how dumb this chris guy is. Not an insult because you can't deny you have been proven to be pretty stupid. Below average kind. Many examples in post history.

    then you should try actually reading what he said and without your Ancient Aliens logic.

    Are you really THIS stupid or is it just trying to be funny? I used to think there's no way someone could be so dumb, but now I'm starting to wonder.

    My link was simply showing that it has happened throughout history and that people weren't killed 200 years ago when it happened, as you claimed they would be.

    Literally nothing more, no spin on either side. Literally a link showing other faithless electors from history. Only a complete and utter moron would try to spin it into something else.

    I'm convinced I could post a picture of a #2 pencil and you'd ramble on like a backwoods redneck about how it was a liberal pencil and they were taking your jobs.

    says the moron who said something doesn't make "since."

    Astro, I've shut your kind down for over a decade now. You're not going to fool anyone because you're going through the same motions every other liberal goes through which is why no one has to say "idiot liberal" anymore. It is just liberal.

    Ok, I'm convinced. It isn't a front, you are just that stupid.

    First off, I have no clue what you're talking about by saying "says the moron who said something doesnt make "since."

    Second of all, I posted a link showing other faithless electors from years past. Called you an idiot because you claimed they'd be shot 200 years ago, yet it happened back in the 1700's. I didn't say anything else, in fact I called the faithless electors morons in an early post.

    I'm not going to lie, I'm shocked that you are even smart enough to operate a computer or phone.

    again, you're not going too fool anyone because there is nothing unique about your logic. It is liberal logic, logic of a sheep.

    Yes. www.fairvote.org is a website for sheep. I've never even heard of it before I googled a list of faithless elector by year and it was the first result.

    Good God you are a fkn idiot.

    Shocking that he'd think people actually BELIEVED him. Glad he's going hard on those corporations though. Why bother to add tariffs to stop companies from moving, as he said when he was going to be tough on them, when you can just give them $7,000,000 in tax cuts instead. That'll teach 'em!

    Oh well, at least he had a chance to speak with some world leaders. From what I hear, Pakistan is just "fantastic". Surely, India will be fine with that. Just let them know that Pakistan is "terrific"

    https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/12/trump-call-pakistan-sharif/509327/


    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/01/us...hast.html?_r=0

    Trump, like the majority of those who went to his rallies, is a buffoon. He, obviously, has no idea what he's doing (which is fine since he's just starting, if he were a city counselman) AND he doesn't seem to want to speak with those who can help so he can actually learn something. He may have been able to fool morons into voting for him with empty promises, but I don't foresee many leaders falling for it, putting up with his adjective laced hot air, or taking him seriously.

    Congratulations, America!


    again, not going to fool anyone sheepy. Everything you've tried and are about to try as already been seen and shut down. You follow websites for sheep.

    How can someone be THIS stupid? It just amazes me. Are your parents related? They must be, mother must have drank a lot while pregnant then dropped you a few too many times.

    Jesus. Post a link to the history of faithless electors and get called a liberal idiot cuck (still not sure what that is, but rednecks really seem to like using it).

    Any other history you want to change? Please, enlighten me on what other history is part of the liberal agenda and what really happened, since obviously those damn liberals are modifying who was a faithless elector in the 1700's for their gain.

    No response? Quit trying to feel up your sister, you can do that afterward. I'm anxious to hear what other history liberals have modified, while they were modifying who voted for Thomas Jefferson and who voted for Quincy Adams.

    BREAKING: Anti-Trump Faithless Elector @TheChrisSuprun Using Left-Wing “Social Justice” PR Firm Run By @VanJones68

    Dec 6, 2016 by Charles C. Johnson 2
    Left-wing CNN commentator Van Jones. Detail from photograph by Kasey Baker, Wikimedia Commons.

    Chris Suprun, the faithless Electoral College elector from Texas who wrote an op-ed for The New York Times saying he would not vote for President-elect Donald J. Trump despite the clear pro-Trump vote by the people of Texas, is a client of a public relations firm run by left-wing CNN commentator Van Jones, that describes itself as a “social justice media strategy” firm.
    Chris Suprun now lists the firm, Megaphone Strategies, as his media contact on his Twitter profile:
    Archive here.

    Megaphone Strategies describes itself as a “social justice media strategy” firm that is advancing “progressive” goals:

    The firm’s cofounder and board chair is left-wing CNN commentator Van Jones, who was also Barack Obama’s “Special Advisor for Green Jobs”:

    The founder and president, Molly Haigh, is a left-wing feminist who led “years” of “anti-rape” work at another progressive PR firm, FitzGibbon Media. FitzGibbon Media collapsed after — ironically — a sexual harassment scandal involving the firm’s president.
    Haigh, whose pinned tweet on her Twitter profile implies President-elect Donald J. Trump supports rape, does not seem like a very skilled public relations expert:
    Really? That’s it? They haven’t even tweeted for more than 2 weeks! Screenshot from Twitter.

    So why is Chris Suprun, a GOP elector from Texas, disenfranchising his state’s voters by pledging not to vote for Donald Trump, with the backing of a left-wing “social justice” PR firm run by prominent left-wingers, that can’t even get its own Twitter following above 200 people?
    And why is he soapboxing about it at The New York Times, a staunch globalist, liberal anti-Trump publication owned by Arab-Mexican multibillionaire Carlos Slim?
    You won’t hear this stuff from the lying mainstream media. Keep the GotNews mission alive: donate at GotNews.com/donate or send tips to editor@gotnews.com. If you’d like to join our research team, contact editor@gotnews.com.
    Suprun, who claims to be a Republican, is now enjoying the praise he’s getting from left-wing celebrities for throwing his state’s conservative voters under the bus:
    Is there more to this “faithless elector” story than meets the eye?
    Stay tuned for more.
    Our researchers shut down Facebook’s biased left-wing trending news team. They discovered never before seen footage of a young Barack Obama whining about white privilege in Kenya. They debunked and destroyed Hillary Clinton’s narco baby mama Alicia Machado, who quit giving interviews because of us. If you’d like to hire our research team, email us at editor@gotnews.com.
