Electoral College votes will be split among the four contenders. Nobody gets a majority. So the election is thrown into the House of Reps, where each state gets exactly one vote. Wyoming gets the same one vote as does California. And since the ‘Pubs control a majority of state delegations, they will coalesce around a compromise candidate — probably Paul Ryan — and give him the winning vote.
In the meantime, the VPOTUS election will be held in the U.S. Senate, where ‘Pubs probably will have lost their majority in the Nov. 2016 elections. So the Dhims will be able to pick their dream candidate, Indian Princess Liz Warren, as VPOTUS.
