Scarborough: Independent conservative candidate will announce presidential bid
The Hill ^ | August 8, 2016 | Jesse Byrnes

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Monday that an independent conservative candidate on Monday will announce a challenge to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

"It does appear that there is going to be a well-funded independent candidate," Scarborough said on "Morning Joe," without providing a name.

Scarborough, a former GOP congressman from Florida, said the candidate would aim to get on 20 to 30 state ballots.

Well Moaning Joe has been dead to me for years, but I hope that what remains of his piddling audience will walk away.

IF this is true, the election is over. I will never vote for a Republican again because I bet this person is a Republican running as an Independent (if true).

Sounds like a Cankles’ false-flag operation.

Because we have to save Hillary at all costs.

Anyway, I thought Johnson was the ticket. He was going to vacuum up all of Trump’s open-borders pot smokers.

Scarborough you blew it. Big time.

I used to support you. You were pro-Trump very early, and very consistently. Everyone else was anti-Trump. Fox was anti-Trump. CNN was anti-Trump. But you were covering him, fairly and consistently. Granted everyone else at your network was in the tank for Hillary, but I very strongly supported you.

Then I went overseas, I was away for a number of months. When I came back Donald was the GOP candidate, and you Sir, were someone else.

Now everything has reversed. You Sir, are now completely wacked out. I will no longer even turn on your channel.

I think you have gone bonkers.

I really had a high opinion of you. What in the world happened.

SUCH a disappointment.

Right now this is in the “grain of salt” category.

However...

...an alternate candidate is the SOP for the Clintons in Presidential elections, so...

...we’ll see.

BS. I doubt the candidate would be able to get on that many ballots.

He offered personal conjecture based on his sources, however, that "this has more to do with stopping Donald Trump than actually electing a president."

And why would this be necessary given that Hillary is leading in all polls. Hmmm....

Seeing on Twitter, linking to Buzzfeed (which is very liberal so consider that) his name is Evan McMullin, CIA veteran and US House GOP policy chief.

Yep, I just posted a link to that. Guess what? As I figured, he’s a Republican.

The independent will be a pretender, not a conservative

Not even important enough to rate a wikipedia page.

That’s pretty bad considering all the no-talents on there.
