And remember this from your high school government classes - the Electoral College is not required to elect the person who received the majority of individual votes if the majority of the members of the College think that person is unfit to be President. State laws to the contrary mean fuck all. That is why those really smart guys who ginned up the greatest guide to governance of a nation put the Electoral College in the Constitution.

And I do not discount the possibility we may see this happen this year.

The third debate will be quite amazing. Martha lost it in the last debate and at one point just began debating Trump outright. It was Candy Crowley on steroids. But it was nothing compared with what will happen in #3. Chris Wallace will go after Trump hammer and tongs. Or hammer and sickle. Start to finish. In that whiney nasal little wimp voice, it will be hard to take. But Trump has shown that he can handle it.

Wallace is a liberal twatwaffle, and he will be under orders from Murdoch and his two sons to skewer Trump. Kelly launched the whole "Trump war on women" schtick in that infamous primary debate under just such orders from the top. Everything, all the way up to the "pussy video" was carefully orchestrated. And they probably still have something more in their garbage can.

WikiLeaks’ Podesta email release reveals massive Clinton ‘hits’ file on Sanders

Hillary Clinton’s campaign purportedly compiled a massive “hits” file on Democratic primary opponent Bernie Sanders, calling into question his “progressive bona fides” on issues ranging from labor to guns to Wall Street, according to a new trove of emails posted by WikiLeaks.

The 71-page, nearly 50,000-word document was released Monday as the second installment in WikiLeaks’ dump of Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta’s alleged emails. The email, titled “PLS REVIEW: Sanders Hits,” was sent by campaign research director Tony Carrk on Oct. 28, 2015 – nearly nine months before the liberal Vermont senator would endorse Clinton following their protracted primary battle.

“Attached are some hits that could either be written or deployed during the next debate on Sanders,” Carrk writes, noting that the immense opposition research file would eventually be expanded with critiques of Sanders’ plan to provide affordable college education.

The document, which was prepared in advance of February’s Iowa caucuses, also notes: “Per HRC’s request,” the research team is “doing a deeper dive on Sanders’s agriculture record.”

The document is broken up into 12 sections, with headings such as “Sanders Is Not Straight with People on His Spending” and “Sanders Not Straight with People on Taxes.” Subcategories then divide the attacks into specific points.

“Sanders, often thought of as a champion of labor unions, accepted support from a company while it was involved in a bitter labor dispute -- locking out union employees for nearly 22 months,” the document states in the “Labor/Pay to Play/Sugar” section. Sanders later voted “to protect the sugar program.”

The document also criticizes Sanders for a lack of specifics on his tax plan.

“Sen. Sanders has not told the American people how much he is going to raise taxes and who is going to pay for them,” one section states. “When confronted on details of his tax plan, he simply says ‘it’s coming.’”

Jason Miller, senior communications adviser to GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, tweeted out a link to the WikiLeaks files on Monday afternoon with the comment: "And here...we...go." Clinton's campaign quickly rebuked Miller for the tweet and alluded to a popular theory that WikiLeaks has deep ties to Russia.
