A former CIA case officer who has served as top policy aide to House Republicans is launching an independent campaign for the presidency on Monday with the backing of veteran GOP strategists and donors determined to block Donald Trump of getting anywhere near the White House.
Feeding off mounting discontent within GOP ranks over Trump, Evan McMullin who is resigning today as chief policy director for the House Republican Conference will announce his campaign with an open Letter to America aimed at rallying independents and conservatives to his cause.
Its never too late to do the right thing, and America deserves much better than either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton can offer us, McMullin , 40, said in his announcement statement. I humbly offer myself as a leader who can give millions of disaffected Americans a conservative choice for president.
Although the candidacy of a political unknown with no experience in electoral politics seems improbable at best, strategists working with Better for America, a group that has been dedicated to stopping Trump, told Yahoo News that they believed the McMullin campaign has a genuine chance to catch on. The group claimed that he even has a plausible path to victory through a deadlocked race that ultimately goes to the House of Representatives to resolve if neither Trump nor Clinton gets the required 270 electoral votes.

As he is a Mormon, won’t states with large numbers of Mormon voters have to follow their bishop Romney decree to vote for the a** clown?
Trump will win in a landslide.
The Clinton Cartel must have pictures of this guy in bed with a boy.
NOTHINGburger. No one will vote for this guy. How many state ballots can he even get on?
This is beyond desperate.
Why do they think this guy won’t take votes from Hillary? As in, “ I just can’t vote for Trump and I was gonna vote for Hillary, but I really don’t like Hillary, here’s an alternative I can vote for”
He’s another #neverTrump asshat. What a surprise.

“We know Romney and Liz Mair, but who else is involved in the nefarious plot?”
Liz Mair. She was working for Scott Walker until we raised hell about it and is ALL tied up with Grover Norquist and McCain....so again, this is ALL about immigration and bad trade like TPP.
Who is Liz Mair?
She headed up the move to destroy Numbers USA, CIS, FAir...any group wanting to control Illegal immigration.

I dont think Romney has the influence he claims. The Utah primary was a caucus run by the state republican party, which is owned by Romney. In the general people will be allowed to actually vote.
A total nobody who thinks he’s a lot more important than he is because he worked once for the CIA. Well, so did I and that doesn’t qualify me to be President.
Here’s his resume. Except for the fishing boat, he’s a perfect GOPer. Good luck baldy. You’ll need it.
- chief policy director for the House Republican Conference
- investment associate for Goldman Sachs
- volunteer refugee resettlement officer in Jordan with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
- undercover operations officer for the National Clandestine Service at the CIA
- deckhand for a commercial fishing vessel off the coasts of Alaska and Washington
I agree. I disagreed with him to the point of thinking him naive, but he seemed somewhat ordinary and mild to me in retrospect. I contrast him with Bernie Sanders, who seems to have a face and manner that inspires instant dislike.
It’s funny. When I saw his name in your post, I had an immediate negative wash of recollection. But wnen I looked at his picture in an article, I remembered being a bit less antagonistic (and more...er...blase) about him back then.
Liz Mair
He justifies this by fighting Assad:

Near the end he believes Kosovo was a Genocide and our action siding with Al Quada in Kosovo was correct. Which we later learned the KLA was working with Al Quada. Bin Ladin was there.
McMullin is the problem
Pray you are correct and that Mormons are not led by bishop Romney.
Stupid, dishonest, or both. At this point, any “conservative” trying to undermine Trump’s chances to beat Hillary is on her side.
Note at the beginning of the video (my last post) McMullin said he was a student at a Mosque in Syria. If we dig some more I would not be surprised to find a student of Islam.
I bet he is the one who leaks Trump’s tax returns to the press. Keeping Hillary’s fingerprints clean.
Of course we are all sure these two yahoos writing for Yahoo are going to vote for this no-name.../sar
Clearly the Ross Perot ploy hasn’t worked yet.
This! This! This! 1000 times this!
Trump must get this message to the voters. This is a UNIPARTY GLOBALIST OPEN-BORDERS attempt at overthrowing the republic forever, and it must be stopped.
Figures. Another Muzzie. He’ll probably be wagging a pocket-sized Constitution at us next.
We all need to let EVERY Republican, elected or appointed, know what the result will be if they thwart Mr. Trump’s quest to save the US. That is that in the US no Republican will never again win so much as local dogcatcher. Since the nation will go down anyway without a Trump victory, let the dems have it.
