The only ones squawking are the ones who hate Hillary Clinton's guts. I loathe these "Hamilton Electors" with every single fiber of my being because they don't give a shit about the voters or about the popular vote winner.

All they give a shit is that a Republican gets in there even if that Republican is totally illegitimate.
