One thing about this candidate, if he could draw enough electoral votes to throw the president race into the house. Nancy would be in a position to decide the victor.
This scenario has not been flushed out (to my knowledge).
1) In a contingent election for President the House would vote by STATE DELEGATION. 26 needed to win. GOP still maintains 26 (and still will even if we lose that vacant NC seat)!
2)But that’s irrelevant cause the NEW House elected in 2020 would elect the President, not the old House (as was the case in 1825 and 1801 when the New Congress and New President took office at the same time in early March, I’m sure the 20th Amendment had this in mind when it started the POTUS term 3 weeks later).
3)I can’t imagine how Schliz could win any states, McMuffin was thought to have a good chance at Utah and he still came in third. Keep in mind Perot got 19% nationwide and that wasn’t even within 8% of winning any state and 5% is probably too much for a best case for Schlitz. 25% nationwide wouldn’t be enough to guarantee a single E vote. (And in ‘48 Strom Thurmond got 39 evotes on just 2% of the popular vote while Wallace got zero evotes with a nearly identical vote total, it all depends on where on where the votes are)
4)I can’t imagine that even if he did get an E vote that Pelosi or any democrat would be willing to elect the guy that came in a distant third unless it was to prevent Trump’s election by peeling off some RINOs in a GOP (delegation) House.
