Jeb Bush to Endorse Gary Johnson Next Week?

[dspNY]

If Romney endorses Johnson, the electoral map changes because Johnson will win Utah and it seriously complicates Trump's map to 270

These maps throw the election to the House

Hillary 265 EVs
Trump 267 EVs
Johnson 6 EVs

This map produces a 266-266 EV tie with Utah's 6 EV going to Johnson

Why does everybody assume Johnson will win Utah?  I'm guessing Mormons wouldn't like Johnson that much more than Trump.

If Gary Johnson got Romney's endorsement he would win Utah

Great news! I hope Cruz endorses Johnson too. This will give Johnson the nevertrumpers and hurt trump. haha

Ah, hate to break it to you, but such folks were not going to vote for Trump just because Johnson was not on the ballot. Johnson may get some votes of those Pubs who loathe Trump, who might otherwise vote for Hillary. I think on balance Johnson helps Trump. A vote for Johnson is only a half vote against Trump, while a vote for Hillary is a full vote against Trump. I highly recommend going the full vote route against Trump, but that is just me. He's just too dangerous to be parsimonious and slash one's voting impact in half.

I think you are right, Torie. Johnson helps Trump.

Republicans telling other Republicans to vote against Trump doesn't help him
