It’s very, very unlikely — but new conservative independent candidate for president Evan McMullin can win. But only if he runs only in Utah. If, among swing states, Trump wins Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, he’ll have 273 electoral votes, three more than the 270 he needs to win. If he wins Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Iowa, he’ll have 272 electoral votes. Likewise if he wins Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Nevada. If he wins Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and New Hampshire, he’ll have 270 exactly. If he wins Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, Iowa, and New Hampshire (the states political prognosticator Nate Silver had him leading in before the Khizr Khan dust-up), he and Hillary will be tied, 269 each. There are a few other scenarios along these lines, wherein a) Hillary has too few votes to win outright, and b) Trump ends up with fewer than 275 electoral votes. These are the most likely ones.

Relax. Polls are for entertainment value.
The National Review should merge with the Huffington Post. ——birds of a feather-— as the saying goes.
And the poll could be as biased as can be, but Trump still shouldn’t be running 5-10 % behind the other Republicans. If it’s biased and packed with Democrats, it’s equally biased for the senate candidate too.
A review of the "progressives'" absolute takeover of every entity of what is called the American "education system," from the federal, state and local government bureaucracies, including teacher training institutions, "certification" process, the teachers' unions, with their legislative agenda, state DPI and legislative leaders, and now control of the curriculum publishing companies, etc., etc.,--all of these things lead one to believe that Carlin's early observation was spot on.
As a matter of fact, to paraphrase the "Nation at Risk" report published decades ago, an enemy of America could not have devised a better plan for harming us than these forces described above have inflicted upon the nation's youth over several decades now, "dumbing them down," keeping them unknowledgeable, uneducated and vulnerable, and they constitute much of the group known as "the millennials" today.
"It is necessary, then, in order to seize authority in a republic and imprint an evil form upon it, to find that the social fabric has broken down over time, and that little by little and from generation to generation, it has been thrown into disorder; this will come about by necessity, when it is not often renewed by good examples or by new laws to bring it back to its beginnings." Niccolo Machiavelli circa 1519, Discourses on Livy.
I believe him to be a petulant child
well there is that....he is after all a petulant child
this is a vote splitter candidate.
This is about job protection of the DC MOOCHER class
You must be Steve Hayes. His new meme is to say Trump is a drag on down ballot races.
Tell you what, just to be mean, I intend to not vote for any down ballot RINO.
I would have voted straight ticket GOP, but since people like you have a case of concern trollitis, I have decided to mete out consequences for certain actions.
By the way. Trump is ahead. Probably will be yuge win!
These effetes want it to go to congress where the bought and paid for politicians will do what their masters tell them to do.
Let me be blunt. I have been fighting for Conservative principles since I was in High School. There is no greater priority for any American Conservative than the preservation of the Constitution the Founders adopted, to preserve what they won in the Revolution. That Constitution absolutely looks to putting America & the Americans "First."
This issue alone gives the lie to the intellectual poseurs at National Review, who are obsessed with trying to shoot down the truest Conservative, since Reagan, to run for President.
Anyone think they can challenge me on these statements? I would suggest that before you attempt it, you sit down and quietly read the Constitution in context, from Preamble to conclusion. It is totally inconsistent with the sick values of the Clintons, Obamas, mass media & global theorists. It is all about a specific people--today's otherwise forgotten people--the American people.

There is absolutely no need or reason to panic. Mrs. Clinton & the fawning media are giving us an enormous body of ammunition to take them apart in September & October. An enormous body of useful ammunition!
I need 10 bucks worth of whatever he is on.
The whole thing is surreal
McMullin = part CIA, part Goldman Sachs banker, part Mormon, Part Bald White Guy, Part Utah
Win what exactly? The National Review is a joke.
McMullin is part CIA, part Goldman Sachs banker, part Mormon, part Pro-Life, Part Bald White Guy, Part Utah.
Wow, all I can say is wow.
