No labels, no clue

You remember when Mark Penn based his strategy for the 2008 primaries based on different delegate allocation rules than the Democratic Party actually used? This spirit lives on the the Penn-affiliated ratfuking operation that is busy developing the most ridiculous galaxy-brained schemes to elect Republicans without admitting that they’re just Republicans and pretending they have some kind of independent relevance imaginable:
Officials with the group are mapping out an unlikely and largely unprecedented scenario where they could be in a position to cut deals on policy, Cabinet posts or even the vice presidency if their still-unformed ticket manages to win electoral votes and blocks a major-party nominee from winning the presidency outright.
“It’s possible that if you got to the Electoral College and no candidate had 270 [electoral votes], that there could be negotiation to create a coalition government where electors get traded between different candidates to get somebody over 270,” Ryan Clancy, the chief strategist for No Labels, told reporters on Wednesday. Clancy added: “There are quite a number of states that have what are called ‘unbound electors,’ which is to say: Those electors are not statutorily required to vote for the candidate that won their state at the Electoral College.”
In 33 states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, laws prevent “unbound electors,” statutorily requiring electors to vote for the presidential and vice presidential candidates who won their state’s popular vote.
Former Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Davis, a co-founder of No Labels, expanded on the group’s view of this potential scenario in an interview with NBC News on Thursday, suggesting the No Labels ticket could “cut a deal” with one of the major parties’ tickets.
“It could be Cabinet posts. It could be a policy concession. That’s the kind of thing it could be,” Davis said, adding the vice presidential position could also be part of the discussions.
Davis said a “deal could clearly be cut” to “swing faithless electors over” to another ticket’s candidates.
“It could be, for example: ‘We’re going to build a border wall [and] not run deficits.’ Any number of things,” Davis said.
Wow, quite a coincidence how these faithless electors will happen to share the particular set of views (“anti-immigrant, anti-Medicare and Social Security”) held by nobody outside of No Labels Zoom meetings. What a break!
Anyway, moving beyond these efforts pretend that the American system can be turned into a parliamentary one by running a Jon Hunstman/Erskine Bowles ticket and ??? and then ??? and then some ??? and BOOM Mark Penn is Secretary of the Treasury, let me explain what would happen if neither candidate got a majority of Electoral College votes:
1)A majority of state delegations will vote for Trump.
2)No Republican member of Congress will negotiate with No Labels because why on Earth would they when they can just make the candidate they prefer president without their help.
3)The end.
The only encouraging thing about these stories is that these people are probably too dumb to actually pull off the ratfuck they’re attempting.
