Ping! FR cast in questionable light, including hashed-out cusswords.

Never heard of him.

LMAO, as someone who voted for Cruz I can tell you that FR was majority for Trump, very early. He won every single day of the FR caucus poll.

That’s fail #1 for this farticle, basic research fail.

Fail #2 (logic fail/WISHFUL THINKING) is the premise that this dude could “blow up” anything. Anyone who would vote for him already isn’t voting for Trump. Droves of voters abandoning Trump (and thus electing Hillary) for some nobody makes no sense. Voters who don’t care if Hillary wins are already voting Johnson or not voting for President. Plus it’s already too late to get on most ballots, with many more deadlines very soon.

The only substantial thing he could do is take appreciable votes from Johnson in Utah, which could help Trump as Utah is a (the only probably) state Johnson could theorically surge in and win (pushing Hillary to third place). Even a low single digit performance in Utah by McMuffin could doom any possibilities for Johnson. Utah’s deadline is the 15th of this month, a week from today, but only 1000 sigs needed according to ballotpedia.

In that pic he looks like a guy in season 2 of ‘House of Cards’ who got bought then killed in an exploding car.

I’d bet on Trump winning at least a plurality of the Moromon vote if not a majority. Romney got 78% and Bush in 04 actually got more, 80%. McCain got 76%.

McMuffin will get a distant 4th of the Mormon vote at best, if not 5th (with Green Party 4th).

I don’t know. Maybe these people are devoted neocons in foreign policy who won’t support Johnson on those grounds. BIll Kristol and friends.
