The solution

This election has truly been a disaster, And even now their is still gaming afoot.

The electors of the elector college need more room within which to modify things, They can't trust the ruub house to not simply pick Trump if they make nobody win, and picking Hillary is just as distasteful if not dangerous for their health.

Their is something Hillary could do however, It would even let her save a little face.

Declare that if the electors pick her, that rather then operating under normal procedure that she will call for an amendment to allow a new election immediately.

I know, I know, typically amendments are hard, but not in this case, they can have a bill negotiated and out in a few weeks, and States would be very able to ratify with support from both sides in very short order over the following month.

This would help many of the electors who are on the fence, about what todo.

And we could force some election fraud reform in the amendment, or possibly national fair redistricting, Their hate of her is so deep she could get something from them for making her stay short.

If the ruubs refuse to pass any amendment to allow a new election, it will be damage done to them. The media spin would be entertaining as hell.

No one, a unanimously agreed to constitutional amendment would call the new election. She would sell the option for electors as not choosing her, but rather in effect making a vote of no confidence. With the ruub congress nothing will pass anyway, so she would keep it warm until the new election, and the ruub congress would pass this, and if she is calling for it, so would the dems, so would be easy.

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.

Sometimes crazy idea's just need to be thrown out their, it might be a bad idea, but the conception that the outcome is wholly binary is wrong.

You are right that this election is a complete disaster. Maybe we could declare martial law and give the country to Canada. If CA secedes, I'm going with them.

to shut down the Clinton Machine permanently and send Bill and Hill off to New Zealand for pulling off one of the biggest grift scams ever. Hasta la vista and all that. We need not suffer Royalty here in these united states.

And that is either one of the binary choices. Glad Melania does not want to live there. Maybe he can't toss out the current furniture. Or gild everything. The Gold House, ewww.

Why not pack them off to the "black site" at Diego Garcia, or someplace equally isolated and out of the way. I'd suggest St. Helena, but the British might object. Smile

There is no justice. There can be no peace.

... is technically a British possession despite the secret US base there:

Diego Garcia is the largest of the 60 small islands comprising the Chagos Archipelago. Diego Garcia was settled by the French in the 1790s and was transferred to British rule after the Napoleonic Wars. It was one of the "Dependencies" of the British Colony of Mauritius until it was detached for inclusion in the newly created British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) in 1965. Between 1968 and 1973, the population was forcibly removed by the United Kingdom through intimidation of locals and denying the return of any who left the island. Many were deported to Mauritius and Seychelles, following which the United States built a large naval and military base on Diego Garcia, which has been in continuous operation ever since.

Diego Garcia is proof that the British Bulldog is on Uncle Scam's leash and heels on command.

She can't make up new rules. We are stuck with the Constitution we have, not one that she would prefer.

That is who Hillary is more like since she isn't astute enough to understand Calvinball.

The electoral collage is part of the Constitution, and enough electors are talking about voting against the Donald that the game is very much afoot.

The worst case is enough swap to hand it to her anyway, the lose in 2020 would be grandly epic. equally the damage done between now and 2020 by Donald would take 40 years to repair if it is at all possible.

Finding a compromise of sorts would benefit everyone.

for 4 status quo years and then, hopefully, bye-bye Demonrats, hello People's Party. If the Electoral College wanted to make more of a healing choice, they would choose Bernie.

Beware the bullshit factories.

I am concerned with thinking like yours. Trump puts together a cesspool cabinet and continues to break his campaign promises to the people who voted for him while these absurd recounts go on. Before long, people start throwing out feelers, once again, about Hillary being the lesser of two evils and we will get her out in 4 years while she just maintains the status quo. Hillary and Bill are criminals. They should never be back in the White House. Trump shouldn't be there either. Don't buy into their non-choice dualities. Hillary would do much damage continuing the neo-liberal, US hegemonic blueprint courtesy of the PNAC. As I write this I realize I am still angry with Bernie.
