Johnson's path to become POTUS. (house of representatives, voters, democratic, Republican)

[pbmaise]

Former Republican Governor Gary Johnson, if he is Libertine candidate, will draw voters from both sides.

Certainly not enough to win the presidency outright. However, he could easily draw enough to prevent both Trump and Clinton from winning outright.

This would place the decision as who becomes president into the hands of the House of Representatives.

The House may well vote for Johnson.

Meanwhile the Senate would pick the VP. A VP the GOP liked.

Everybody wins?

Quote from the article

But what if Gary Johnson won a couple of states, like his home state of New Mexico and some other place like Nevada or Alaska and denied Hillary and Trump 270 electoral votes, and threw the presidential selection to the House, and the VP selection to the Senate (which is the specified procedure of the 12th Amendment)?

Imagine if the house chooses the president Will Paul Ryan choose Trump and Palin?

I doubt Johnson can win enough states. Trump will lose so many to Hillary, Johnson would have to win like 15 states.

I'll be voting for Johnson over Trump and Hillary but there is zero chance he becomes President. I seriously doubt he would even win a state.

Sounds like Kasich's brilliant plan to be the GOP nominee. Someone finally convinced him it was nonsense.

Johnson has ZERO chance of winning. Cut it out with these Johnson posts.

Libertarians are completely irrelevant in 2016 America, where socialists of the left and right wing variety now command all the votes.

Trump would call him "Little Johnson" and brag that his is bigger.

Johnson winning enough states for 100 electoral votes is a pipe dream. Johnson walking into the White House is laughable. He can maybe win one like say an Arizona but that is it. He'll chip away mostly Republican votes and maybe a few fringe Democratic votes but not enough to win enough states to be in play. He'll get the highest Libertarian turnout and share but that's it.
