The electoral college actually selects the president and vice president.   and if a candidate were to die before the electoral vote in December, they would select someone.

correct.   getbiggers disagree tho!

The only time the VP would automatically become president is if there is a death after he's been sworn in.

Of course the Electoral College selects the President and Vice-President. They can't just pull someones name out of their ass.
If a Presidential candidate dies before the election, and the people are still stupid enough to vote for a dead person, then it would be the Vice-Presidential candidate, that would be bumped up to the President position , for the Electoral College consideration.

Trump wins easy.  No replacement matters, she's a liar and any replacement can be painted as in on the fraud.  It's true. Mane has Parkinson's.  Parkinson's affects mental status.  They tried to cover up.  Now it's out.  YouTube has tens of millions of hits already.

So many Hillary supporters with cognitive dissonance.

yes, they can, and they have.  They're then called faithless electors.  And for most states, it's perfectly legal.

but the people who get elected to the electoral college are party members and will follow the wishes of the party if they want to keep their jobs.

If a Presidential candidate dies before the election, and the people are still stupid enough to vote for a dead person, then it would be the Vice-Presidential candidate, that would be bumped up to the President position , for the Electoral College consideration.

Filling a Vacancy: From the Nomination to the Electoral College Vote

Both the Republican and the Democratic parties have rules in their bylaws governing how to fill the vacancy. The Party Chair calls a meeting of the National Committee, and the Committee members at the meeting vote to fill the vacancy on the ticket. A candidate must receive a majority of the votes to win the party's nod.

The same process would happen if the vacancy were to occur after the general election but before the Electoral College voting. If a vacancy should occur on the winning ticket, it would then be the party's responsibility to fill it and provide a candidate for whom their electors could vote.

But the electors can select who ever they want.

Even the manipulated worthless polling average at RCP shows it is only 2 points, which is entirely within the MoE.  After the "deplorables" comment and her seizure and collapse show up in the polls she is done.  Enjoy President Trump!
