A nightmare scenario: Trumpism ascendant

[Sir Mohamed]

Difficult situation. I think the Trumpster should not be president under any circumstances, because he’s dangerous. Mentally unfit and unfit because of his lack of knowledge.

However, I must say though, if I were elected president through a faithless elector despite having lost the PV, I would consider to do the following: Ask my VP to step down immediately, appoint the actual winner VP under the 25th amendment and then resign myself, so that he/she can take over as soon as congress has confirmed the nomination.

Another comment on your points: Whoever loses this time, will definitely not run/win the nomination in four years.

In general I'd agree. But if the narrative is that the election was stolen by a faithless elector, perhaps not?

I just don’t see how the GOP nominates him again, even under these circumstances. If they go with another crazy, it’ll be Cruz. If they learned their lesson, some Kasich/Baker/Rauner/Haley/Sandoval type will be the nominee.
