Ryan (or whichever Republican is there) wins as America exhales in relief that they don't have to choose between Clinton and Trump. And the Republicans find a brand new way to manipulate elections.

I think the voters would just see the GOP is utterly inept by that time, it could damage them for decades, not that there's a way out of this that doesn't do that anyway.
