It would be fun to watch all the dem heads explode. But it would be a very bad experience for the country, so no. Trump with majority of popular vote and EV landslide!

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Yes. A bird in the hand and all that.

[Ken H]

Not on your kidney plaster!

[TakebackGOP]

It could easily happen this election.

[RoosterRedux]

Absolutely not.

Trump is going to win...and he needs a mandate.

[Lurkinanloomin]

You’re showing you age, I haven’t of that since the 1970’s.

[abb]

No. But why do you ask?

[CodeToad]

No! I will NOT give Hitlery ANY credit!

[drypowder]

let congress decide the next president?? The thought of that is as horrifying as the thought of the hag being in the WH and given the chance, this corrupted Congress put her there

[Genoa]

With two weeks to go there’s a palpable Trump wave. Crowds, enthusiasm, turnout..... So no.

[oh8eleven]

NO

[marron]

If she was winning among Democrat they wouldn’t have to over-sample Dems in the polls. The fact that they over-sample Dems, by simple arithmetic, tells you Dems are voting for Trump.

[Popman]

No...Trump needs to win straight up...

So the craven, feckless, spineless, gutless worms who run the House know their gig is up...

If Hillary wins fair...America deserves her...

[comebacknewt]

Absolutely.

The risk of a Hillary! Presidency is too great.

[Maceman]

I would, if I wanted to see President Hillary in the White House, which I obviously don’t.

[Roccus]

Nope, and I don’t trust anyone who would even ASK such a question!

[Dilbert San Diego]

That’s what I would fear. Even though we expect the GOP to control more than half of the state delegations in the new Congress, I don’t know that they would all vote for Trump if the House had to pick the next president.

Prefer to avoid it and take my chances on election day, and hope for a clear Trump victory there.

[marron]

Trump speaks to packed houses. She speaks to a couple of dozen or cancels events due to lack of interest.

She has no path to victory that doesn’t involve felonies.

[Eccl 10:2]

Because I thought the range of responses would be fascinating.

So far I’m not disappointed. Quite the opposite.

Why do you ask that I ask?

[MMaschin]

HELL YES!!! When it goes to the House, it's not like a normal House vote. Paul Ryan, or any of the leadership has any sway on the outcome.

When it goes to the House, each State's Congressional delegation gets one vote. The Republicans will control more State delegations with either the current or new House, so Trump would be the next President.

Also, it does not need to be a tie, it goes to the House if no candidate receives a majority.

So, it's also possible that if Johnson, the former Governor of New Mexico wins New Mexico, it's possible that neither Trump or Clinton will gain a majority, and in that situation, it would also go to the House - and Trump would win.
