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.
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.
