"In the long term, we're building a new conservative movement we think is badly needed in this country," McMullin said. "The party needs to be more welcoming to people that don't look like me, people of different races and religions."
"I do think that there is a problem with bigotry within the voting base of the Republican Party.

“a few unfortunate misunderstandings.”
You referring to the LDS practice of discriminating against non-whites ?
McMuffin might be more credible if he wasn’t funded by the Muslim Brotherhood.

There is nothing holding back any person of any race, ethnicity, etc from holding conservative values. They just have to have them.
No one is keeping them out. There is no club that says, uh no, you’re black, you can’t be a conservative.
Oh wait, there is such a club. It’s called progressives or Democrats. They are the ones who assign political views based on races, ethnicity, sex, etc. And woe to anyone who crosses tries to get out of their assignment.
I have had a few friends send me his name as an option. I was shocked when I heard him on TV. NOT appealing. Not that he was before I saw him. Voting for him is a fool’s errand. But he is not the conservative to rally around. Who the heck is he anyway?
That a woman who has been politically active, her entire adult life, among a people with the most successful history of economic achievement over their first century and a quarter, of any people on earth, under a Constitutional Government designed to protect that people from a bureaucratic pestilence, which has been the bane of most nations; that such a woman has so missed the essential point of the American achievement, is staggering in its implications.
Mrs. Clinton claimed that a Clinton Government would rebuild the "Middle Class." Was she totally unaware that the American Middle Class clearly built itself? That the American Middle Class resulted from naturally energized individuals, aspiring to achieve the good life, who risked everything to first clear a wilderness, work hard, generation to generation, to save & accumulate the attributes of the good life; with the result that by 1913--the year that a graduated income tax first became Constitutional, this Settler built Federation of newly settled States, had already surpassed every one of the great powers of Europe in industrial strength.
To "rebuild" the "Middle Class," Mrs. Clinton vowed to make the most successful Americans--those who had achieved the most--pay increased taxes; she called it "paying their 'fair' share." But it was clearly to be a tax on success--a tax to fund a raft of new programs (a cancer or pestilence of an expanded bureaucracy). She was obviously indifferent to the fact that the biggest impediment to any poor person with ambition, actually launching a small business to improve his status, is an almost incomprehensible explosion in bureaucratic regulations, most of which premised on the same flawed understanding of how people actually advance, which Mrs. Clinton displayed, on the 19th.
Americans used to learn by experience. What were the experience based lessons of what transpired from the drafting of our written Constitution in 1787, until the passage of the income tax amendment in 1913? Are they instructive or not, for what actually works for human advancement?
The Constitution prior to 1913, absolutely interdicted a tax driven war on the accumulation of individual wealth. Article I, Section 9, which Mrs. Clinton should have remembered from Law School, provided that no direct tax on individual Americans could be applied in any way but pro-capita. (That is Warren Buffet would pay the same tax--not the same percentage tax--but the same tax as Joe the Plumber. The Founders had no desire to limit individual success. They sought only to encourage it.
Under there experience based philosophy, there were almost certainly not even 1% of the bureaucratic regulations, with which Americans seeking to improve their lot, must face today. In place of today's pursuit of grievances, real or imagined, there was universal admiration for the high achievers! And the growth rate of a people freed to achieve, was the economic phenomenon of human history.
We do not pretend to know whether it was in her indoctrination by Marxist Pied Pipers in her late teens, or pure confusion in whatever she is struggling with today. But Mrs. Clinton is utterly clueless on how a dynamic economy works; as she is utterly unaware of the dynamic, interactive factors, that drive or stagnate any human aspiration or achievement. What is absolutely clear, even if one ignores her lack of a moral compass in her political dealings; the woman is absolutely unqualified to be President of the United States.
This is one more reason why we must win this election for Donald Trump.

They have tried to clean up their act, but the past lingers on. They used to discriminate against anyone who was non-LDS. If you were some other religion, and lived in SLC, nobody would be your friend. But that was 70 years ago....
“I do think that there is a problem with bigotry within the voting base of the Republican Party.”
THAT must be the ‘Republican Party’ the MSM fabricated for clowns like HIM and planted in HIS head...long ago.
Humbly, proxy_user. We are and always have been.
Conservatism is for ALL Americans. No creed, nor color, no labels except this: citizen of the United States of America.

Yeah, the way to start a new movement is by insulting all your potential customers. Good luck, Evan.
And by the way, the voting base is not bigoted; they are called bigots by the media and political opposition.
... hmmmm ... a “committed bachelor” type ....
Excerpt: He talked about working with liberal groups to minimize the number of elective abortions, and ***said that the Supreme Court had ruled on gay marriage so it’s time to move on. (One reason for the latter stand may be that McMullin’s mother is now married to a woman.)***
ROTFL! If he’s a “conservative”, I guess I’m going to have to refer to myself as something else. The Clintoon regime that he is helping get elected is going to put the brakes on with his “conservative movement.”
Egotistical SOB. If Hillary wins, there will not be any conservative power again. The left will control everything and we know how they use it. This is like the Russian Revolution.
Exactly.

There is a picture of a black female Marine with tears running down her face as she salutes Ronald Reagan’s casket in 2004.
Reagan didn’t need to pander to any demographic group to elicit love from the American people. All he did was make us proud to be Americans again.
I hope that Trump, though he is inferior to Reagan, can do something similar for our country. Make America Great Again.
Practically speaking, if you offer everybody individually a fair shake, that is all you have to do to be a “big tent” party. If instead you want to treat people as groups, you end up promising them things not offered to others, in exchange for their votes. That is the Democrat way.
Treating people as individuals and families persuades many to join you. More and more, light skinned Hispanics and Asians are calling themselves “white”, because they see prosperity as a better value than what is offered to their ethnic group. And with their “whiteness” comes Republicanism.
What will turn them away is offering direct hatred at them, or being unwilling to give them a fair shake. So don’t do this.
Republicans generally dislike illegal immigration. But Democrats try to conflate this to their hating Hispanics. But Hispanics who are already citizens are wising up that the benefits of citizenship are being diluted by illegal immigrants.
The Hispanics that fully support illegal aliens often intend to keep their Mexican citizenship, but get the advantages of living in the US. So they will never be part of any “big tent”, though the Democrats want them to vote in US elections anyway.

He's so obvious it's laughable. The "conservative" meme is pathetic. He's been an operator in the CIA, Goldman Sachs and Wharton School of Business...... I don't see executive experience but I sure see an ladder climbing man that knows the game and wants to be paid...forever.
We”? You got a hamster in your pocket, Evan?

It’s not in his pocket...
Firstly, he is not Conservative, secondly, neither is the GOP, AND Finally, we, as true Conservatives, already do what he suggests. heh heh.
