Michael Moore predicts Electoral College will deny Donald Trump: Hes not the president of USA yet"

[kpete]

Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, who accurately predicted that Donald Trump would end up winning the general election, has made yet another bold prediction — on Wednesday on Seth Meyers’ “Late Night.”

“He’s not president of the United States yet,” Moore said, noting that the Electoral College has yet to vote. “He’s not president till noon on January 20th of 2017. . . . That’s more than six weeks away. Would you not agree, regardless of which side of the political fence you’re on, this has been the craziest election year.”

He added: “”Nothing anyone predicted has happened; the opposite has happened. So is it possible, just possible, that in these next six weeks, something else might happen — something crazy, something we’re not expecting?”

1. Of course, that would turn the decision over to the House who would install

him anyway, but at that point, Paul Ryan and his dweeb army would completely own it, NOT the American people (excluding deplorables).

2. I'm not so sure the House would select Trump.

They'd probably go with Pence, who would in many ways be worse BUT at least he wouldn't start a trade war with China because some sweatshop didn't give Trump a good deal on his shirts.

5. Pence would be easy to take down in 2020

He's a mike huckabee style nutter with better presentation. A pretty traditional GOP pol.

12. And Pence would have no mandate

Especially since HRC now has 2.8 million more popular votes as of today.

Extraordinary times ahead if the EC actually did its job as was originally intended by the founders.

14. They can't pick whoever they want. They must pick one of the top three EC vote getters.

Furthermore, even if Pence is somehow the third highest EC vote getter, that would be a problem for the VP selection. The Senate would be required to pick from the top two vote getters in the EC for VP. If Pence was President, they would be forced to pick Kaine as VP, which would essentially give Democrats an extra vote in the Senate.

3. Those quotes do not say that the EC will deny him, just that something crazy could happen.

8. Yeah, it seems all headlines are clickbait these days

4. One can hope!

6. Well, MM, you were a pain for me with your previous prediction, hope you ease it now

7. He has been pretty much right, so far.

Hope the trend continues, for the sake of this country.

9. Stop the fucking coup!

10. Maybe this is the time in the history of the American Empire that we get our first Caesar.

After, there's no going back.

11. You know, last month I would have

given short shrift to this, as much as I often agree with Moore. But I did with his election prediction, and it turned out that he absolutely nailed what would happen and why. Maybe he's onto something here. I sure as hell hope so, it's really the only thing that's going to save the country, us and the world at this point.

And the electoral college was meant for just this type of thing, to prevent a "leader" like Trump from actually getting into the White House.

13. I guess we'll learn something about this prediction a week from Monday
