There's no practical way to get it done, except maybe constitutional amendment, but this is the system I would support us switching to instead of NPV.
I calculated what the results of this would be the day after the election; results have shifted since then a little bit, but at the time the numbers were 262 Clinton, 262 Trump, 12 Johnson, 1 Stein, 1 McMullin. Johnson would've effectively become the kingmaker in the Electoral College, able to endorse a candidate and direct his electors towards them (assuming the loyalty of all electors in such a scenario). I think since then Hillary has probably picked up a few electoral votes, but not enough to win outright.
