Key players in GOPs anti-Trump movement are preparing to launch an independent presidential campaign for Evan McMullin a CIA veteran and the chief policy director of the House Republican conference sources close to the effort told BuzzFeed News. Veteran Republican strategist Rick Wilson, a Florida-based media consultant and outspoken Trump critic, is expected to be involved in McMullins campaign. Sources said Wilson was in Washington on Sunday meeting with members of McMullins prospective campaign which includes some who were involved in a group called Better for America, which has been pushing an independent presidential bid.

This will be an epic fail. Just another publicity stunt.
Will take more votes from Gary Johnson than Donald Trump.
As I said on the other thread, all this will do is split the vote.
Remember 2006? During that year, dear W. and his gang of eight and a large contingent of congressmen (senate and House) joined his Amnesty Plan. Even my two Senators in Georgia (traitor Chambliss and Isakson) hopped on the bandwagon.
Johnny Isakson and Chambliss got bitch-slapped so hard their heads were spinning and immediately recanted. The problem was still they didn’t change their hearts, they just changed their tunes. They later opposed and the Amnesty plan failed.
This came eventually caused Chambliss to retire because he knew his ass wouldn’t get re-elected - and we got Perdue.
Isakson is up again this time and I am voting against him. IMO, he’s a drunk, he’s sick and he’s go-along, get-along Johnny - not worth spit. Never saw a political job he didn’t want.
The internal polling must be devastating. If Trump was getting clobbered you wouldn’t hear any of this insanity.
I remember W. saying something along the lines of, “See you at the signing ceremony.”
And yep, they got defeated, but they don’t give up on the government agenda. They only give up on their pretend agenda at the first hint of resistance.
And it has become apparent that it really doesn’t matter who they are replaced with.
The establishment seeds the field with carbon copy replacements saying whatever is needed to win any given district.
They did the same thing in the 2016 presidential field. All 16 candidates were globalist shill decoys. Some pretended to be outsiders, but they aren’t. The only one that was different was Trump, as is clearly illustrated by their continued desire to throw the election, because they got skunked, they failed to deceive us, and now they can’t win.
Misreading the title, I thought his name was Evan McMuffin.
E McMuffin?
Yes, let's hear no more cr@p about principles, no more nonsense about holding our noses and voting for the RINO.
This election isn't about Trump, it's about a movement. Trump may win or lose, but the GOPee is finished. To paraphrase Paul Manaford, this is the final nail in the coffin.
That’s what I thought!
Frankly, I don’t identify with “Republican.”
I identify with “I’m pissed off, and I want heads to roll and drive-by America’s future to be secure.”
I am personally deflated that views I’ve held about Republicans since Reagan have been ones of futility. They can all go to hell as far as I’m concerned.
Oh goodie! Another GOP loser.
You left out Rove.....
Yes, why bother doing this at this late juncture if Trump is actually trailing so badly???!!!
It’s hard to make the case that virtually all the pollsters are in cahoots to sabotage Trump, but if the numbers are true, why the merciless crusade against Mr. Trump???
Why keep beating him down if he is in fact on the ropes???
Soros money?
McMuffin? Trump will eat him for breakfast.
I seriously doubt this non-entity will get on many ballots. Or take any votes from Trump. Anyone who would vote for him is already not voting for Trump. He would only get votes from Republicans that are voting for Johnson or who otherwise wouldn’t vote.
If he gets on some ballots I might pencil him in at 5th or possibly 6th place (the Constitution Party got around 0.1% to to to 0.15% in the last few elections), with well under 1% of the vote.
Am I wrong? It would be much smarter of them if these idiots just backed Johnson, he’s already on every ballot and more than 6 people on the face of the Earth have heard of him. I think most anti-Trump Republicans are aware of this, which is why no “name” people were willing to do this, only some random idiot.
They don’t want to elect this guy.
They want the House of Representatives (the new one) to elect Hillary, or whoever replaces her, by keeping both candidates below 270.
This is really a very good strategy. Does anyone here doubt that a Republican House would choose Hillary over Trump? Or, more likely, Biden over Trump?
I sure don’t.
The Trump Train is about to run over this fool and discover lots of interesting things about his personal life. I predict he drops out by the end of the week, citing ballot access difficulties of some sort.
He has less Twitter followers than Mr Kitty
Globalist, BYU, and Goldman Sacks.
The stench of Romney is strong on this one. Probably trying to throw Utah to cankles.
