NOTE: Sadly, this scheme fell apart when Thor announced today he would not run for president. See the update below.
The plan involves finding a third party candidate who can be placed on ballots in deep red states like Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and possibly a few others, around whom “Never Trump” conservatives could rally for the purpose of hampering Trump without helping Clinton in order to create a scenario in which no candidate can secure the necessary number of electoral votes.
As the plan explains, if a third party candidate could win the popular vote in a few conservative states, it could deny Trump a handful of electoral votes that he would need to win the election outright, thereby sending the election to the GOP-controlled House of Representatives, which would then hopefully choose this third party candidate to be president and save America from either a Trump or a Clinton presidency.
Among the names floated by Burguiere when he first laid out this plan was Brad Thor, a right-wing author of thriller novels who is probably best known for getting Beck’s radio show suspended earlier this year after Trump supporters accused him of calling for Trump’s assassination.
