The point of McMullin’s candidacy, I thought, was to peel off enough Republican votes in Utah to give Clinton a fighting chance at the upset there. Trump is unpopular among Mormons; McMullin is Mormon himself, was born in Provo, attended BYU, and is much more of a traditional conservative than Trump is. If he can pull, say, 20 percent in the state, a freaky-deaky outcome in which Clinton wins with 35 percent of the vote in a four-way race with Trump, McMullin, and Gary Johnson isn’t unthinkable. (A poll taken earlier this summer, months before McMullin got in, had Trump leading Clinton 29/26 in Utah with gobs of voters undecided between the two.) And although Utah provides only six electoral votes, those six could be crucial. Right now Hillary is counting on Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, combined with the Democrats’ other reliable blue states, to push her over the 270 EVs she needs. If New Hampshire comes back on the board, suddenly things look more shaky. In theory, Utah could replace New Hampshire as decisive for her.
In practice, though, McMullin’s barely made a dent — yet. A month ago, Utah Policy had Trump ahead of Clinton 37/25 with Johnson pulling 16 percent and another 21 percent divided between “other” and “don’t know.” Today’s it’s … Trump 39/24, with Johnson at 13 percent and McMullin at nine. Most of McMullin’s votes are coming out of the “other” and “don’t know” categories. If that trend continues, he may yet get to 20 percent but Trump could win the state easily regardless. There may simply be too few Democrats in Utah to put Clinton in a position to win, even with the right-wing vote carved up three ways.

People ain’t buyin’ what the good Bishop is sellin’.
Egg McMuffin was never going to win any state.
Nobody knows who he is.
Hopefully this will be our last reminder of how much of a loser is Mitt.
This Mormon jerk certainly isn’t more conservative than Trump if he wants to throw the race to Hillary.
Blow yourself Mitt
Pathetic. Geez, almost makes me want to go back in a time machine to 2012 and vote for Obama.
I watched McMuffin in an interview on CNN last week.
When he was asked about Gary Johnson, he replied “He’s not a serious candidate for the Presidency”. (LOL!)
Then he actually claimed that Trump was being blackmailed by Putin.

*************************
Romney is colluding to elect illary.
I knew what kind of Republican he was, but I hope this opens the remaining eyes that refuse to see that he is a Ted Kennedy Republican.
Any intelligent person, Mormon or not, would not want to waste their vote on this clown.
Egg McMuffin's appeal, if he ever had any, nosedived once Utahans found out he was a card carrying member of the CFR.
Unlike much of the country, they actually understand a thing or two about secret combinations.
I actually gave money to Romney (got in trouble from my wife). I guess she knew better than I did (again)
Oh dear God - let Trump win. If nothing else, I want to see PAYBACK against the RINO’s like Romney
Mitt was too much of a coward to run himself.
So he finds a mini-me to do it for him.
FU MR
A lot of voters will probably lose their temple recommends if they vote for Trump. The Mormon leadership appears to be all in for ‘NeverTrump’. Perhaps they think Hillary is more likely to give them polygamy.
TTTT!
The Mormon church isn’t conservative. They love illegals and so-called refugees more than Americans.
It’s not polygamy they want. It’s amnesty and lots of refugees: that way they can get a lot more converts. I guess too many Americans are able to think for themselves.
