There are three parts:
A. Gary Johnson and/or some other third party must prevent an electoral college majority. Or, electoral college voters of consciousness must defect to prevent the majority.
B. This tosses the ring to the House. If GOP congressmen abstain and prevent a majority agreement on top three finishers... the choice falls to the Senate.
C. If Senators abstain and prevent a majority, then by default Paul Ryan is President.

He'll likely be the nominee in 2020 when Trump loses.
Only if he wants it.
Paul Ryan doesn't want to be President. The Republicans had a hell of a time convincing him to be the Speaker of the House, and Ryan isn't even happy with that job. After the election, it's close to certain that he will want to quit and go back to being a Representative once again, but he may not be able to do it, at least for a while.
Has there ever been a Representative who became President? Nope.
The House is its own thing. Those who love the action don't want to leave it, and that's Paul Ryan. He loves the House and knows it like the back of his hand.
he's a good soldier for his party, but not THAT good a soldier. Nobody in the House is.

Ross Perot got 20% of the electoral vote - probably at least double what Johnson is likely to get - and got zero electoral college votes.
And the piece was written by "Ilya Shapiro is a senior fellow in constitutional studies at the Cato Institute" - a Libertarian think tank. Yep, no bias showing in this piece! This needs to be shelved in the fiction section, it's not even remotely journalism.

Paul Ryan literally just endorsed Donald Trump, so there goes that conspiracy. It was always just a matter of time before Ryan endorsed Trump, it was never "if", but when. Paul Ryan has a better chance of running in 2020 or later, it's not his time yet.
