Ross Perot was a spoiler that helped to ensure that GHW Bush lost to Clinton in '92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That never worked out well. For president, I cannot go third party and will never vote democrat again. I refuse to vote democrat for any office, since 2008 when a democrat governor made terrible comments regarding the people of her state, and it turned out to be a party line.

(And if no candidate gets 270 of the electoral college, then Congress decides.) Excellent notation; it takes 270 electoral college votes to elect the combined president and vice president ticket. A tie at 269 -269 and the president gets selected by the same electorial college delegates but with one vote per state with 26 votes electing the president separately from a vice president. The vice president is selected separately by US senators 26 votes being needed for winning selection. There "may" be along shot possibility that no one wins a majority on the first round of delegate voting and then it becmes possible someone other than the two leading standard bearers of their party could get selected and actually win the office- even a third party candidate - I think. A third candidate that gets any number of delegates can greatly influence the final result and who becomes president. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but the numbers are so close perhaps not, and if there are any drop out before the election and a tie then who knows what the numbers for either party might be. Could be a governor's appointee representative and not an elected representative casts the deciding vote. We could make it all moot by everyone voting Kennedy24!

And because there are more Red States than Blue ones, it is likely that the Republican candidate would be selected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
