Because of course he would. Threaten their asses off.

Donald Trump’s campaign is pressuring Republican electors into voting for them under “threats of political reprisal,” according to a member of the Electoral College who spoke to Salon under the condition of anonymity.
“We have gotten reports from multiple people,” the elector said, “that the Donald Trump campaign is putting pressure on Republican electors to vote for him based on … future political outcomes based on whether they vote for Donald Trump or not.”
The elector emphasized that these reports had come straight from the Republican electors themselves, with the threats steering clear of violence but instead focusing on “career pressure.”
Well, I guess that’s nice that Trump’s team didn’t threaten to break their legs, or worse. Just vague “career pressure”.
I’ll tell you what, R electors, you break with this disgrace, I’ll hire you on Dec 20th. Yes, if you have a political career it will be over if Trump gets seated anyway, but if you’re seriously considering this move, you don’t want to be in Trumpland politics anyway, do you?
Who knows, maybe this pisses off 37 of them enough — being threatened by the orange menace — that they tell him to go get fucked on Dec 19th.
Would be nice if they knew there were a few people supporting them.
