McMullin probably has the best shot of the third party candidates, despite being probably 5th in the polls. He has a legitimate chance to win Utah because of the religious vote. If he takes that state and Clinton and Trump split the rest of the electoral votes, congress has to step in and pick a president from the top 3, and by winning Utah, McMullin would qualify. Congress, being Republican controlled, wouldn't pick Clinton. And with all the Republicans that aren't Trump fans, they could collude to select McMullin instead.

Technically possible, but it isn't going to happen.

Are you sure you didn't misread that? Maybe it's saying that if he loses, he'll grab the President by the pussy.

In all seriousness though, the House is very likely in the above situation to either be deadlocked or vote for Trump. McMullin is a toxic pick after having presumably lost 49/50 states, and it would throw both the Republican Party and the country into chaos electing a president who 95-99% of people didn't vote for.

Edit: I forgot to mention that if the House deadlocks all the way to Inauguration Day, the vice president picked by the Senate becomes the president. President Mike Pence is a lot less toxic than McMullin and would likely be the preferred outcome for many in the House for numerous reasons. In other words, in the case when nobody gets 270 electoral votes, Pence likely wins.

Trump only grabs 10's, and I don't mean Size 10's.

Considering the record level of dislike for both of the primary candidates, some level of chaos seems to be inevitable.

Pissing off 95-99% of people is different from pissing off roughly 50% of people. Also, see my edit.

Many of these people are voting against a candidate rather than for a candidate, so a scenario in which the person they are voting against does not win could actually result in more happy voters than otherwise. Plus all of the people who abstained from voting because of the options available.

As for your edit, that was a scenario I had not considered. Whatever happens, it will be interesting to see if McMullin does wind up taking Utah, and what impact that has on the election.

Obama gets a third term?

Fuuuuck youuuuuu.

The issue is McMullin also is probably going to turn out like Orman did in 14.

Although is Clinton won the popular vote and the amount of electoral votes than I personally feel that she still would have a chance by trying to win over centrist Republicans such as Susan Collins who might would give HRC the nod over Trump but as you said the big problem is that McMullin does not have the people in congress who will fight for him unlike Trump or Clinton. Granted I hate that as everyone knows I hate Trump and Hillary and hate the fact that one of them will win.

So what was that that you guys were saying about the FBI indicting Clinton?

Pretty much my thought from the get go, since it just came out of no where, and at such a late day in the election. That and them being super vague.

Should be mentioned that not all of the emails were undiscovered, they just said that new emails were found

I dunno, I feel like this whole thing is just to get our mind off of something. I also don't think Huma and her husband are off the hook, esp not her husband.

It's to distract us from the election
