Nearly a third of McMullin supporters are prepared to ditch him if they become convinced the election’s a toss-up. You’re seeing the conditional support for his candidacy again there: Utah’s in play if and only if the public expects a Clinton landslide, freeing more right-wing Utahns to vote their consciences. McMullin doesn’t even lead among Mormons even though he’s Mormon himself, a Utah native, and a BYU grad.

Yeah. I think it’s an extra kidney or liver stored in these double-yolkers. Ain’t brains, that’s for certain
Mitt Romney needs to be banished from the party.
Dang!
I was hoping it would be Hitlery in third place...McMullin in second.
Maybe he’s ‘originally from France’ like the Coneheads. Yeah, that explains it.
Who is this McMuffin guy?
MYTH SLICK WILLARD ROMNEY is going to have a REAL problem when Trump and the hard right come to power.
The Founders and Framers of the 1787 Constitution, after all, relied on the ratification process in the States, and any future Amendment to that Constitution, by the Constitution's own provision, still requires the assent of "the People."
"I am not among those who fear the people. They...are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people...must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they (the British) now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers....This example reads to us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by public, as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from the principle in one instance, becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the 'bellum omnium in omnia,' which some philosophers...have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive, state of man. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas JeffersonIn 2016, "the People," having watched their elected so-called "conservative" Republican leaders fail miserably at even slowing the oppressive "progressive" "train" of "wretchedness and oppression."
"The People" who Justice Story called "the only KEEPERS of the Constitution" see the so-called "conservatives" they elected betray them, and they have responded with an outright rejection, county by county, in most of the states won by Trump.
It is time now for those GOP leaders the voters rejected in the Primaries to decide whether they will turn over the Executive Branch to a self-described "progressive" who promises to double down on the Obama agenda,
What a shock. I am sure FOX still has Utah as a toss up.
It would be better if it were Hillary in third place.
Never worried, Trump never went their as far as I know to campaign. Internal polls is all that matters.
Beautiful Post! I too find it pretty awful that Bill Kristol and Mitt Romney and other elites have chosen to put forth Evan McMullin, a man unelected by the people, as a candidate for President. Mr.McMullin had admitted that he has no chance to win the election. He is acting as a spoiler.
A word of caution however, the election is not over until we vote and the votes are counted. VOTE!
I have a 10 Gallon Cowboy hat that was made just for you!
Doesn’t matter that you don’t see many Mormon Cowboys. So what?
He speaks Arabic and studied Islamic theology at Mosques in the Middle east. Likely an Islamic convert but I do not know that for sure.
Trump held a rally here in Salt Lake earlier on in the campaign. Pence was here a few days ago.
Beck has sure been pushing McMullin!
