2016: Rubio/Huntsman vs. Cuomo/Kaine

[sentinel]

Please remember that when the election goes to the House, states vote in-bloc and state delegations have to vote unanimously for one candidate. So if New York has 25 Democrats and 4 Republicans, and the 4 don't want to vote for Cuomo...then New York isn't casting its one vote for Cuomo...

I think the question "But how do you explain him winning the popular vote, even if you end up winning the electoral vote?" is really unrealistic and they wouldn't ask the candidate that question. Its a math question. You win big margins in the most populous states.
