I agree with you here. Neither of these things has any chance of happening. And the fact that people actually want electors to flip and place Hillary in office is absolutely insane. I've asked numerous people if that's where we want to go from here on out--to a place where the only fight worth having is putting the "right" people in place as electors so that they can ignore the actual fucking outcome. No answer.
I think that the electoral college needs fixing, though. As it stands, smaller states get disproportionate representation. I think the second fix in this article is best (i.e., apportion electors in each state by congressional districts instead of a winner-take-all system). Sadly, I also think there is no way this ever gets changed.
