No third-party candidate has ever cost a major-party candidate an election.  The votes that go to third-party candidates don't belong to the Republican or the Democrat--they belong to the voters who cast them.  So those votes aren't "coming from" the major-party candidates--they were never theirs to begin with.
Good point. If the GOP and Dems wanted to they could support IRV.

The whole weirdness of this election is that there was no one or two major factors that cost Hillary the election. A multiple small factors like this just all fell in the place.
Yes, but some people are always looking for a scapegoat (like Nader in 2000).
