IOW, it doesn’t affect Trump at all. #nevertrumpers already are polling against him.

Probably correct. It is better for them to vote for this unknown than for Hillary.

“He’s got ties to the Bush/Saudi team (CIA), the Clinton/Cruz team (Goldman Sachs), and the Romney/Salt Lake mob (Mormon). Can’t get much dirtier than that.

I suppose that this will be a good case study.”

The Romney/Beck/Cruz wing of the GOPE

I don't think you can be Bill Kristol and retain any semblance of shame.

A Mitt Mormon clone?

Just what we need - a Mitt retread in November.

McMullin is CFR too! He’s the perfect GOPE/DNC candidate. Right there with his pal Grover Norquist.

Evan McMullin - the jokes literally write themselves.

He has zero chance to win in November.

Except that would be genius. Because it’s Tyrion, and the yankees would win every world series for years.

He’d be great running down those fly balls.

At the plate, though, he might get a lot of walks.

Is he “Conservative” along the lines of Mark [I buy my gold from ______] Levin, George Will, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, etal. If he is, I want no part of him. We have been betrayed and sold down the river by those and others of their ilk until our Republic is almost totally destroyed.

BYU. Another Mormon. This has Willard written all over it.

That POS Ryan is well on board with this too. The House Policy Director would have deep ties to the SOTH. Ryan could have nipped this in the butt very easily, but his master Willard is behind this and so is Ryan.

Another Mormon — isn’t the Mormon religion shooting itself in the foot on this one? They need to have a ‘come to Jesus meeting’ with Willard and tell him that long-term this is really stupid.

Utah’s easily doable. 1000 signatures by August 15. The Mormon church could do that in 15 minutes. Idaho should be another easy one. They’ll need to get busy in Colorado unless they hit the Stakes on Sunday. Arizona is probably doable, but they need to get busy. They probably can’t get California unless they own a judge that will throw out the rules. Texas, Florida and Georgia should also be off the table for them.

I really can’t see this affecting anyone who isn’t already anti-Trump and polling that way.

I can’t see pro-Trump or pro-Hillary voters saying that they’ve finally found their alternative candidate in McMullin

Exactly.

Not a household name is he?

And he’s accomplished absolutely nothing.

Nothing that we, the people know of. Which in a sense, is meaningless, since the kind of things an individual with his particular pedigree would likely accomplish would likewise be the sort of thing that the ones who pull his strings would not wish for us to know at all. What was it that Donald Rumsfeld once said, "Absence of evidence does not equate to evidence of absence."

He is not conservative. He is a Clinton stooge.

He has no qualifications for the presidency. He is not acting on his own. He is CFR and a Muslim supporter. He is a Washington DC Republican Party staffer. No one knows what his actual responsibilities within the Republican Party are.

Find out who is paying him.
