That would be a really slight chance. Among the candidates running, I
would rank their respective (probable) electoral votes at (1) Clinton,
(2) Trump, (3) Johnson, (4) Stein, (5) McMullin.

If I understand the system right, if there's no majority, congress has
to pick from the candidates with the top three most electoral votes

... my guess is that, in that case (depending on what the new congress
looks like), there would be a pretty good chance of ending up with
Hillary anyway, but there would be a slight chance they'd all
compromise on McMullin.

We have a republican majority in Congress, but the republican
party politicians don't like Trump. I'm sure they would pick
somebody less crazy than Trump.

If anyone thinks our Congress is capable of making a non-crazy

Nobody having a majority is my favorite scenario, and for awhile
I thought it would happen. Unfortunately I think Clinton will
win by a landslide because people are stuck in this mentality
where we have to pick a winning horse rather than voting for
what we really want. It can still work out if Trump can rally a
little bit and get back to being tied with Clinton. Then we can
have a split, no majority for anyone, and Congress can pick a
non-awful president.

I think he has more presidential qualifications than Trump does.
And if my a miracle we can prevent 270 for Hillary then the
House of Representatives get to pick the president.
And I doubt they will pick Trump. So in that respect, Utah is
saving the nation...

Utah doesn't have enough bad marks already?? Now they will vote
for a nobody, and truly look like they are crazy. LOL

Evan McMullin, the Provo-born independent, has seized his
first lead in Utah’s fluid presidential race.
The Emerson College poll, released Wednesday, found McMullin
with 31 percent, followed by Republican Donald Trump at 27
percent and Democrat Hillary Clinton at 24 percent.
