Possible Presidential election chaos twist:
The GOP splits into two parties, the Trump wing and the establishment Republicans. Three strong contestants (Trump: Clinton or Sanders: and an old-school Republican) for the election.
None of the three win an absolute majority of the electoral vote.
Thus, the election is thrown into the House of Representatives.
The ***newly-elected*** Congress would choose the President under these rules: *** one Presidential vote per State. ***
If the newly-elected Congress had the same makeup as the current Congress, the Republicans would have about a two-to-one margin in States. But would they split between the old guard GOP and the Trumpers?
If they can't agree on an absolute majority, then the newly-elected Vice-President becomes President. But if there is also a three way split amongst Veep electoral votes and no VP candidate has a majority, the way I read things, the Speaker of the House would become President- at least until someone gets a majority.
Thus, we could have President Paul Ryan next year? At least for a while?
I'm not saying Tom Gill Predicts this officially, but you heard it here first.
