President would be chosen by the House.  Since Republicans have a big majority and there are more Tea Party type nutjpbs in the House than the Senate there is a good chance Trump wins.

Not necessarily. Remember, it's by state, with each state getting 1 vote. How many states have a majority that would support Trump over Johnson. How many Democratic controlled states would compromise with moderate Republicans and swing in his favor?

This would require Johnson to have some electoral votes (top 3 electoral vote getters are considered), but I could see a Johnson/Kaine compromise ticket if Congress has to vote.
