Do Never-Trumpers Want a Final Transformation?

September 19, 2016 --

(The Wall Street Journal, September 8, printed an op-ed piece arguing that the members of the Electoral College are not obligated to cast their votes for the winner of a given state's presidential  popular vote.

LPR understands  that the writers,David B. Rivkin, Jr. and Andrew M. Grossman, have Donald Trump mainly in mind for snubbing by the Electoral College.  Curiously, Hillary Clinton, some years ago, called for razing the Electoral College.

LPR has a hunch that should Donald J. Trump seem to have gotten elected president, November 8, The New York Times, joined  by Bill Kristol, will lead the  media in urging  the members of the Electoral College to pick anybody but Trump.)

Will  Never-Trumpers not in the least be hesitant to use the  Electoral College to keep  Trump  from being president?
But if  the Never-Trumpers have their way
Come next January 20, will the United States be dissolving  into the former U.S.A.?
