I'm with alpha male on this one. If not civil war, I think at least severe civil unrest is quite possible if Trump is not confirmed. Many of his supporters are rabid and unhinged to begin with, and he has been stirring them up for months with the notion that the election was going to be "stolen" from him, covertly but plainly suggesting that if he doesn't get the office they should kill everyone who opposed him.
It is an interesting dilemma, though. On the one hand stopping Trump from taking office is EXACTLY the stated purpose of the electoral college. Two past presidents in his own party refused to support him, which is unheard of. Many leaders in his own party vowed to vote for the Democrat, also unheard of. That he is unfit for office, that's not just something coming from the left. It's coming from prominent people in his own party too.
On the other hand if they actually do that it will seriously enrage his supporters and start a conspiracy fear which will last for decades. This is exactly the type of "steal the election" scenario he has been talking about for months. Never mind that this is the way the system was designed, the very reason that we supposedly still have an electoral college. Then it's about "the will of the people". And never mind that he didn't win the popular vote because you get to pick and choose the parts you like and ignore the parts you don't. That's just how religion and politics work.
The funny thing is that if the electoral college actually works as designed for the first time ever, that is what would probably kill the electoral college. But without it, Trump would have never gotten the election anyway.

Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
