Many of the Republican electors recognize this, and they would prefer a different President for the good of their party and the country. Most of the electors should know that voting for Trump will not protect them from his personal attacks on what they care most about. He has proven himself, in the campaign and since Nov. 8, willing to hurt any individuals who challenge him. Giving him more power as President will imperil his supporters as much as his opponents. Republican electors have a strong self-interest in finding someone else.
