Businessman Donald Trump (R-NY) / Fmr Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA)- 270 EV, (43.40%)
Fmr Sec. of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY) / Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA)- 258 EV, (39.08%)
Fmr Gov. Gary Johnson (L-NM) / Fmr Gov. Bill Weld (L-MA)- 7 EV, (12.29%)
Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT)- 3 EV, (5.23%)

Trump alienates the Hispanic vote and has white turnout nearly at 65%. Due to vote splitting (due to the presence of Johnson) in Utah, Clinton narrowly takes the state from Trump. Since there is a protest vote for Sanders, he is able to win Vermont's 3 electoral votes and take votes away from Hillary in the Midwest and some on the West coast, this allows Trump to win Oregon and Washington because of large turnout in rural areas offsetting urban areas. Meanwhile, Hillary has votes taken by Johnson and Bernie around the Seattle area. Johnson wins Idaho and Alaska to a high libertarian presence and since both major candidates are viewed as unfavorable and need for an alternative.

Well considering (just looking at the numbers) that Bernie supporters would be overwhelmingly going from Clinton to Johnson, and not for Bernie, it seems like a pretty impossible map.

Johnson would be taking votes away from both sides, but the protest vote by Bernie supporters would primarily cause her demise.

Borderline insanity.

I can't imagine any realistic electoral map looking like the above.
