If he’s looking for a three way election he might just as well admit that he’s looking for a way to guarantee Hillary a win.

Actually, I think Trump's path to the White House is slightly easier in a three-way election.

Yep. Democrat voters can be herded like sheep. Republicans, not so much.

The goal is not to throw the election to Hillary, but to make sure that no one gets a majority of the electoral college. If that happens, the Presidency gets decided by the House of Representatives, with each state getting one vote.

This gives the Republicans a huge advantage. Right now more than 60% of the states have a Republican majority in Congress. It is extremely unlikely that the Democrats would end up controlling a majority of state Congressional representations. So Hillary would not get elected.

The trick is to choose a candidate who will win several states, enough to deny anybody a majority of the Electoral College.
