In reply to the discussion: Why Hillary Lost: The Great American Lie [View all]ZoomBubba
(289 posts)28. I doubt it ...
... if he's stopped from taking office, Pence would likely take over and we'd have a predictable, right-winger. If not we'd probably have congress decide on a compromise candidate ... which will be a Republican, maybe one getting an electoral vote from a faithless elector. Right now, the other two GOPers likely to get faithless electoral votes are Pence and Kaisich.
Whatever happens, I don't see any chance of Hillary being selected. After such a radical step, they're going to want to select someone that isn't going to incite an armed rebellion in the middle of the country.
