13009339, I don't think you get it. If nobody reaches 270, the vote doesn't count.

The electoral college becomes irrelevant at that point and the Republicans literally choose who to appoint as president. It's not like the electoral college could "still go with Hillary."
If, say, Bernie gets 265 electors, Hillary gets 173, and Trump gets 100. Then Trump is the new president. You wouldn't be fighting for anything anymore. You really would just be "berning it down."
