Perhaps, but if I recall correctly, there are cut-off dates to register as a candidate, and the dems will register hitlery as their candidate and if she drops out/goes to jail, too late for the dems to replace her.
Yeah... That argument worked real good in New Jersey when Robert Torricelli dropped out of his Senate race in 2002. The New Jersey Supreme Court simply decided that the clear language of the law did not mean what it said, and allowed the Democrats to substitute Frank Lautenberg at the last minute, far past the deadline.

Yeah, just like it was too late to replace Torricelli with Lautenberg in 2002. The ‘rule of law’ is long dead in this country.
If conservative Republicans were united against Trump, they could theoretically put up a candidate only in one deep red state and win enough votes to throw the election into the House. The House, voting by states rather than by members, would then decide among the top 3 EV winners. Voting by states, the Republicans would dominate the election there even in the event that the Democrats won a majority and elected the Speaker because of their strength in many small-to-medium population states.
