Today is the anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster in 1937.
The 2016 election is another.
Culled from Trump v. Clinton: An unmitigated Disaster
If a third-party candidate could divide the vote enough to prevent anyone from getting an electoral-college majority, that would throw the election into the House of Representatives, where any semblance of sanity could produce a better president than these two.
The inference of the quote is that the House can pick anyone. Unfortunately, that is not exactly true:
What happens if no presidential candidate gets 270 Electoral votes?
If no candidate receives a majority of Electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most Electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most Electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.
I am solidly in the camp of those who know we need a third-party. We need a third-party candidate right now.
I am still a viable write-in candidate. Make me #3!
Trump vs. Hillary,unmitigated disaster,third-party NOW
