Hillary ONE TERM & DONE: a possible face-saving compromise for GOP electors?
I'm just throwing spaghetti at the wall here, but stranger things have happened than this.
What if Democrats propose a compromise with GOP electors that since Hillary won the popular vote, and there are doubts (at minimum) about how Trump won the electoral college, Hillary take office but vows to just serve for one term, so essentially 2020 is the "do-over" some have suggested?
The right could say they got their pound of flesh from Hillary, and we could get four years to get the Democrats house in order and present a fresh candidate in 2020.
I'm sure there are some flaws with this or possible better variations.
What do you guys think?*

13. With the EC meeting in days, I had the same thought.
one by one Rep's and trump voters are seeing the colossal mistake the country made in allowing trump to run. I don't think Pence is any better. If my memory serves me, there's no tradition of Electorates picking a VP.
Hillary would be the logical choice and the one term vow would allow them to save face. If it goes to the house they'll just pick Pence and call it a day.
The problems that trump brings to light are not singular to him. His whole tentative administration is rot with conflicts and corruption.
Found this on Archive.gov
What happens if no presidential candidate gets 270 Electoral votes?
If no candidate receives a majority of Electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most Electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most Electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.

Since alot of Cleveland fans really wanted the Indians to win the World Series this year and since Cleveland was up 3 games in the series at one point, how about making the Indians the winners of the series for 6 months and done, then give the title to the Cubs for the remainder of the year? I'm just throwing bullshit on the walls here but stranger things have happened....

Here is my compromise offer back.

The children are so cute when they are playing make believe. You'd almost believe that they actually thought they have some input in to the process.

Trump. WON!

Yep.
Throwing spaghetti at the wall doesn't describe it, DUmmy. That ridiculous idea is like throwing the stove out the window.

Moving to the bargaining stage of grief, I see.

I think the DUmmie OP is assuming facts not in evidence.
