More skullduggery from Salon. This isn't event second hand, it is third hand. A quote from the article.
"We have gotten reports from multiple people,” the elector said, “that the Donald Trump campaign is putting pressure on Republican electors to vote for him..."
The unnamed elector is telling us something that was told to him by another elector. Not even something he actually heard from anyone. Great journalism standards. This falls squarely in the fake news category.

Why do you seem to like to post articles clearly devoid of journalistic standards on sourcing and even use hearsay as their "evidence" then you hid behind the "if it's true" statement. We call "if it's true", fiction. Which is what this article is, fiction, fake news, non story,. wishful thinking etc. Editors used to make writers get real sources and back them up. This is pure lazy.

"Reprisals" in Politics like any other Industry is nothing new. Hell for an Outsider Drumpf has learned how to play like a Washington Insider rather quickly but anyone hearing the exchange between him Herr Drumpf and Megyn Kelly knows just how vile and disgusting this Man can become to anyone that dares challenge him.

Seems reasonable to me. If someone is elected due to their allegiance to a particular candidate and after being elected, they are dishonorable and should be shunned by the party. I don't believe the story due to the lack of identity of anyone involved. This kind of trash will continue until January 20, 2017, then the left will try to use all this to limit trump's agenda using all this made up s**t. Like the Democrat electors wanting a personal security meeting to see the results of the past investigations. How many of them have the clearance to even attend such a meeting? Fine, let them go through the process to get the proper security clearances, prove their need to know, then do it. (In time for the next election)
