Considering who Trump is, that’s funny, right there.

That’s the game plan, based on the assumption that the House will simply hand the presidency over to Hillary. Hell, the Republicans will coronate her.

I acknowledge that Trump is a narcissist. But 15 minutes of fame?? Trump doesn’t need this.....and I appreciate that he and his entire family have opened themselves up to the horrible treatment that Repblicans always get....and of course, McMullin is being hailed, by the LSM, as a hero for splitting the vote from our side, helping assure a Hillary victory.

I hope you have an ample supply of firearms and ammo. The ride will get extremely bumpy come 11/09/16, and worse yet on 01/20/17.

What makes you ask such a question? Where have I even suggested such a thing? Hillary should be in prison. But, I suspect she will win this election. America is doomed.

Trump has actually accomplished some significant things in the private sector; he is not an unknown quantity who just materialized as a foiling tool of the Establishment.

A) Thank you for posting this comprehnsive expose.

B) “Mormons are tight knit and like to support their own,...”

That latter statement is the source of my uncultivated wariness in dealing with Mormons. (I have had extensive interactions with Mormons due both to my vocation and my avocation.)

I have found that Mormons tend to give preferential treatment to their own, and also tend to lose interest in one when they realize that one is not interested in converting to Mormonism.

As a Christian who has been in ministry, I strive not to treat non-Christians those ways.

Either Hillary or Trump will win this election. If you are against Trump, by default you are for Clinton. No 3rd party will win this election. Voting for a 3rd party candidate will only throw the election to one or the other. I believe that any 3rd party vote will throw the election toHillary. I am for the survival of the USA and it’s resurrection and success. I will be voting for Trump.

Evan looks like a Corporatist to me, big government and big banking experience on his resume. The perfect Council on Foreign Relations type, a Romney or Huntsman type of Mormon.

World Government is OK as long as it has ‘conservative principles’ in it. Which is pretty much what Glenn Beck said on the radio the other week.

"... McMullin is a tool of the GOP elite..."

I hope McMillin reads this as by reputation, he is an honest man who's integrity is not for sale. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the GOP elite.......Trump is so successful because he is NOT PC or Elite about anything...Trump AKA "His Non-politicalness" as well as "His Political Incorrectness" runs his life on honesty and integrity...while telling "it" like "it" is!

“I am proud to be a Mormon”

Hmm...are Christians “proud to be Christian”?

Not this Christian. All I know is that I’m a rotten sinner for whom Christ sacrificed His life, to redeem me and all who believe in Him. I humbly beg that He vouchsafe me His grace for every day that I have left on this Earth. I am that publican who couldn’t even raise his eyes while he begged for God’s mercy.

Proud? In my case, no. Saved? So I believe, with all my heart.

This guy, who is almost certainly financed by Der Mitster, is Romney's revenge for Trump having kicked the asses of all Mitt's fellow establishment buds.

Pride has many meanings in English. The pride that is synonymous with a lack of humility is a sin that God has little tolerance for and is quick to strike down. Pride the word we use in common language to be synonymous with “unashamed” or “unabashed” is a requisite for true Christian discipleship.”For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” Romans 1:16

The “tight knit and support your own” nature of lots of Mormons is fairly typical of minority religions. In my industry, apparel, I see it a lot with the Orthodox Jewish, and South Asian communities. In heavy Mormon communities like Utah or Idaho you see it everywhere. It’s usually a positive thing that helps people bear one another’s burdens. I am sorry you have had bad experiences with some Mormons, so have I and I am one :) As a teacher of many Mormon Sunday School classes, youth and mens ministry groups I have always strived to teach other Mormons not be insular and to do business and live in the community as the Good Samaritan and not as the Levite, to live the 2nd great commandment to love thy neighbor as thyself and not categorize their neighbors by denomination. Most of my Mormons friends and family are good folks and straight shooters, and so our most my Baptist and Catholic ones. I prefer to recognize all Christians by their deeds first rather than their denomination. As to how all this relates to Egg McMuffin it just shows how the GOP-E and the Left are masters at playing on peoples emotional weaknesses even in communities that should by creed be impenetrable to their ideology.

Because of Romney Reid, Lee and Hatch I no longer hold Mormons is high regard. Throw in Flake for good measure.

Pukes, Punks, liars, traitors and cowards. Mormons lost my respect.

Trump supported Romney, and look at the hatred Romney has belched and vomitted up.
