The constitution says congress can only vote on the 3 candidates with highest amount of EVs. Since only 2 will get any EVs, it'd be between Trump and Clinton. They'd probably still vote in Trump.
Imagine if McMullin won Utah and the House picked him.
Actually, was it fighting Bob Lafollete from my home state of Wisconsin? Man, would he be rolling over in his grave if he could see what Scott Walker has done to the state.

Who was the last third party candidate to win EVs, was it Eugene Debs? (Spelling may be off).

Wow what a sour response. I wrote that in about seven minutes on the toilet this morning.
While I may not be funny, I know about the electoral college. I know that the Republicans have all the shit states that only have three electoral votes to pledge. If they're not three electoral votes little more than 4 or 5 electoral. college votes.
What's so difficult to understand about that? States Like North Dakota and South Dakota and Wyoming and Idaho and Montana. You know, all those inbred white states that nobody lives in or wants to live in .
Have you ever left Chicago? Met the people that create all the food and shit no one in your city is willing/capable to make? Montana and Wyoming are gorgeous. They lack the urban component that makes Chicago the deadliest city in the country. I'll take a week on a ranch in Montana every time over a week in Chicago staring at concrete and paying 2x as much for mediocre food.
I remember The uniroyal factory in Eau Claire Wisconsin shut down. 1992 I believe...I was 10.
My elementary school was just across the Eau Claire river from the factory that employed hundreds if not thousands of Eau Claire citizens. i used to see the mini smokestacks billowing on recess.
Believe it or not this is actually before NAFTA. Cant go blaming Bill for that right? You'll try though.
Yeah I've seen small-town USA.

Pretty racist comment. "Shit states", no wonder our country is divided. Not everyone can live in NYC, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, LA, San Francisco.
About the polls, please take out the USA Today and ABC poll. They are severely flawed and asked a majority Democratic group. So not accurate. Take those polls out and the one where trump is winning and you are in that 3-5 range I assume.
No....just no....
First of all, you should probably hate subsidies for farms mr. conservative.
I am a white man who doesn't care for most white men....that I will own.

Haha bad food? Lost all credibility there.
I'm originally from northern Wisconsin....I've actually been on many a farm...not talented enough to contribute in any way though.
Eau Claire, WI to be exact. Spent time in Rice Lake and a bit in Rhinelander - also Shawno which is an Indian reservation.
You want to talk about beauty? Then all of those places beat Illinois.

Just telling you the poll. You have 2 at double digits and everyone else is in that 2-6 range.
http://s18.postimg.org/o4w2ah6ih/polls.png
The national polling average has Clinton at +5.4%. Which makes sense to me.
This just in from the AP:
After only averaging a 4-6 point lead nationally, Clinton concedes election to Trump.
"I mean, lets face it" Clinton said to a small group of 10,000 supporters, "Trump could easily have 160, 170 electoral college votes by elections end."
She later went on to say that a potential "200 electoral college vote victory" was not "the mandate" she had hoped for.
Ms. Clinton thanked her waning supporters in a way only she could, by announcing that she would bring her campaign And announce her candidacy for the 2020 election today! In addition, she'll be running in 2024 if that doesn't work out. Granted, she will be 108 years of age by then.
In the final concession to Trump, Clinton somberly stated that she would never carry states like North Dakota or Arkansas - states like Alaska or Nebraska. And right there alone was the solid 13 electoral college votes that she seeks. "Without those states, I see no reason to continue. Congratulations Mr.Trump, on your hard fought victory. I look forward to you doing things in the White House that will make people completely forget about my husband's indiscretions."
Mr. Trump could not be reached for comment, as he is currently filming episodes of "You're Fired" for the next two weeks.

New Fox Poll shows Clinton lead over Trump is down to 3.... This race IS NOT over.
National polls mean nothing
