 OMG. What a horrifying thought.

Guest on Morning Joe just laid out the worst possible scenario for democracy: what if there's a 3rd party run by someone (anyone, doesn't matter who) and that 3rd party candidate actually wins a couple of states. That could be Trump, or a "No Labels" candidate, or anyone.

Then, nobody wins the Electoral College. 

When nobody wins the Electoral College, the House of Representatives decides the outcome of an election. And we all know who's in charge of the House!
