These Numbers Say A Third Party Can Win The Presidency
I've been hearing a lot about a third party run that only needs to take enough electoral votes away to keep both Trump and Hillary from getting enough to win the election. If this happens, then apparently the whole selection will be left up to the House of Representatives. It's possible for one candidate, such as Perry to just win Texas to take away enough that neither Trump or Hillary would have enough electoral to win. The article gives several scenarios where this could happen. If this happens, and it has happened in the past, then the total process for the election by the people will be taken away from us and given to one party, the controlling party of congress to make the decision for us.
Trump would not have to worry about a double cross at the RNC convention. All the Republicans would just smile and wish him well, all the while plotting behind his back to push Bernie to run or a conservative party run. Just to win a large electoral state or enough smaller states to keep either Hillary or Trump from winning. AND this could also blow up in their face and give the election to Hillary when there is a possibility that Trump could have won it.
Republicans need to think long and hard before making this choice for us. If this backfires, it will be the total annihilation of the Republican party.
