Hotair.com ^ | 8/15/16 | Allahpundit

If my theory about his candidacy is correct then this was the only state ballot that really mattered to him and his team. Mission accomplished.

McMullin, running as an alternative to Donald Trump, filed the required 1,000 signatures on Monday to be on the ballot, Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox’s office confirmed.

“Petition filed. He will be on the ballot,” Mark Thomas, Cox’s director of Elections told POLITICO moments after members of McMullin’s campaign walked into his office to file.

The deadline to file the signatures was Monday by 5 p.m. Mountain Time, 7 p.m. Easter

Obama mopped the floor with Romney, but the voters of Utah only see a Trump slight, and will give the state to O'Bama's surrogate?

Imagine if those 6 electoral votes end up meaning something and the “true conservatives” give it to her? I still believe in the ‘monster’ vote that’s coming but these stories have me at wit’s end. Those Mormons are going to vote for that Mormon Manchurian. Maybe Idaho too.

Even the totally embedded-in-Hillary’s-ass MSM will have a hard time pumping up McMuffin into a name any voter would remember.

McMullin may take more votes from Gary Johnson than Trump.

If Utah does this and causes whoever the hell this person is to keep Trump from winning Utah. That state should forever live in Purgatory as far as I’m concerned.

This treachery & those behind it will not be forgotten, whether Trump wins or loses.

Will he actually carry the state? I doubt it. Anyone with any logic will realize a vote for Evan is a vote for Hillary.

This guy is a real piece of work. I saw him on Fox News last night during the Bret Baer hour.

He’s a Hillary surrogate for sure with the goal of getting on the ballot in a few states and try and deny Trump the election.

He’s playing into the whole Trump is unfit, bad temperament and dangerously psychotic.

I don’t think he will carry the state but he might pull away from Trump a large voting block of self righteous Republicans.

I think a little farther South is more apt. Purgatory implies you might get out. They need a little more sulfur & brimstone in their diet

Evan McWhatever: a current or former Governor or Senator, or at least a well-respected Congressman? a former 4-star General, a world-reknown neurosurgeon, or a highly successful businessperson?

Do you notice that the anti-Trumps different standard for one of their own?

BTW if you’re wondering why the anti-Trumps aren’t supporting Gary Johnson, it’s because Johnson, like Donald Trump, isn’t a corporatist/trilateralist/”neo-con.”

It would take a buttload of prayer to get it out of Purgatory. Something it wouldn’t get from me, nor many others either.

On his best day Romney was nothing more than a political pissant. Now he has fallen farther in my opinion of him.

While we lose the country for good, it is at least worthwhile we will have identified the traitors in our midst. Wait till they reap their reward when they think they will become the main part of the uniparty. No one ever trusts a traitor, not those who were betrayed nor those they befriended.

Assuming foam boy wins his florida nomination for senator over the pro trump candidate, I will be voting for someone else along with any other jerk on the ballot who cuddled up to the witch (rhymes with?). I will not care anymore. As far as Cruz goes, he should be glad he is running in Texas because were it here, I would openly campaign against him both in the primary and the general.

Romney and Ryan, lower than whale excrement IMO.

I'd appreciate it if you could explain to me what the layman's meaning of those words are. Thanks.

With each new report of these idiots’ actions, I am becoming convinced that these citizens no longer deserve Liberty. They are just too stupid, and dangerous to the rest of us.

I can’t believe they were interviewing him on policy issues as if he were a real candidate. Disgusting.

Gone, as in "on vacation?" Or something more sinister?
