Do you think that the petition asking those in the electoral college to vote for Clinton will succeed?

I think it's a silly waste of time.

To be blunt, if the situation were reversed, I wouldn't sign such a petition. Clinton would be the elected President.

Since I know that would be my attitude, it would be unprincipled for me to switch views in the current circumstances.

Departing from principle to gain a preferred result strikes me as the gateway to evil.
