My prediction for December, 2020.

To avoid 20/20 hindsight (pun intended), here is what can happen when the Electoral College gathers in four years.

The democratic candidate has won the Electoral votes but lost the popular vote, the opposite of today's situation.

Electors are beseeched and threatened by Trump voters and surrogates. The System was rigged!

In the spirit of hypocrisy, first the election by the EC will be delayed. Then the Electors "vote their conscience", which means they were "persuaded" (i.e., succumbed to threats and/or bribes) to vote for Trump.

I'm now convinced more than ever that the rules change when republicans risk losing power. I wish I were overreacting.

The democratic party has been slated to be powerless and a minority party indefinitely.
