Assume no compromise candidate, or if you must, say which other candidate might arise. What do you think?

There can't be a compromise candidate, unless someone other than Trump or Clinton wins some EVs.

If they all vote along party lines, it would be Trump 30, Clinton 16. Iowa, Maine, Nevada, and New Jersey all have split delegations.

If Clinton somehow gets all the split delegations, she'd still need at least 6 Republican delegations to flip in order to win. Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Florida? It'd be a longshot.
