You beat me by 50 seconds! :)
> that he might aid Shrillary in one or more states by siphoning votes from Trump.
Huh? You can already vote for Clinton. What does voting for McMullin accomplish? NOTHING! This is not a primary - it’s the general election, you can vote for either candidate.
McMullin can not win - it is mathematically impossible.
Ha, ha...true!!!
I think the GOPe just will not let it go. I will remember this and believe me, I will seriously consider changing to an I from R after this election is over.
He may be looking for clicks, but I don't think he's looking for chicks.
Ooggeler in chief?
I agree. The obvious goal is not to elect Mcmullin or hand the election to Clinton. The goal is to utterly destroy Trump’s candidacy, to humiliate Trump and to humiliate his supporters. There is a ton of malice behind this Mcmullin candidacy.
To be filed under the category of pure sophistry and bulls—t. Suitable only to be published by dishonest Hillary supporters.
What’s his name has such great name recognition. Heck, 60% of the country doesn’t even know who Joe Biden is let alone some unknown dude that can be dismissed as an establishment troll.
“I will seriously consider changing to an I from R after this election is over.”
Did that a long time ago...was painless.
Well stated !
lol
People might see that if they had read the article.
This from Rick Wilson is inside:
The Party of Lincoln needs a complete, top-to-bottom reset — one that completely purges the Trumpkins who believe racial animus is a governing philosophy and that their ignorant and angry primal screams can ever build a Republican majority. […]
Well, Trump voters, […] I’m not going to coddle you and say you’re really smart and good people and this is just a misunderstanding. That’s just what the PC crowd does on the left.
Trumpkins don’t deserve a participation trophy for wrecking the party and saddling the nation with Hillary. They made the crazy the enemy of the good, and centered an entire campaign on rage, fear and an eternally shrinking spiral of cult-worship and fanaticism.
They dragged one of America’s great political parties from the back of a truck.
To begin to repair the damage done, they need to see not that their way almost succeeded, if only one or two states had broken differently. They must absorb the painful reality that their way cannot, will not, ever work again. […]
So when it’s over, Trumpkins, remember: You’re not purging us. We’re purging you.
No way Hillary wins in the House of Representatives. Under the 12th Amendment, each state gets one vote for this purpose, and there are far more states with Republican-majority delegations than states with Democratic majorities. California (with 53 Representatives, most of them Democrats), gets the same vote as Montana (one Republican Representative).
If we ran a FReeper, they’d get more votes than this clown. Good luck with that Kristol.
Evan McWho? I’m on FR a lot and never even saw the name.
What does Gary Johnson think of Evan?
Ross Perot rises again!
.
>> “There will be several states where McMillan doesn’t get a single vote.” <<
What brand of crystal ball are you using? (some are defective)
I predict that they will fail to humiliate most Trump supporters. In fact, if Trump loses, these guys have provided Trump followers with an explanation for the loss and a reason to be encouraged.
Jeez - if you want someone to read your crappy blog at least post it with contrasting font colors!
Media, Establishment are Desperate!
McMullin IS Establishment (CIA, Goldman Sachs & the UN)
He doesn’t stand a chance to get on the ballot by this Monday on all 17 states.
This is slanderous noise from to establishment to harm.Trump’s candidacy.

So who is Evan McMullin? He spent most of his adult life working in the CIA, but has also worked for Goldman Sachs and the United Nations, according to his Twitter bio. He’s not terribly active on social media, either, having sent only 88 tweets as of this morning and collecting 975 followers. Several of his tweets have been critical of Trump, including his most recent tweet sent during the Republican convention:
Coppins also points to a recent post on McMullin’s Facebook page that credits American Muslims and others for contributing to “virtually every counterterrorism win we’ve had since 9/11” as a sign of McMullin’s antipathy for Trump. In that, he has much in common with a legion of other #NeverTrump figures on social media. His #NeverTrump credentials are in order, certainly, but it’s not as if he’s been leading the charge to derail Trump before now. David French had more engagement and investment in the effort than McMullin, and a higher public profile, too.
McMullin also has this in common with the #NeverTrump legion: no chance whatsoever to be taken seriously as a ballot alternative in November, if indeed his name appears on even one state ballot. McMullin hails from Utah, a state in which Republicans have been particularly hesitant to support Trump. If McMullin had any chance at all of denying Trump a win, it would be here. And he’ll have that opportunity … if he can rustle up 1,000 validated signatures from registered voters by next Monday’s filing deadline. That will require a ground organization with staff to coordinate the petition effort, especially in making sure that gatherers qualify to submit signatures, and the purchase of the voter database ($1,050) and people on hand to validate the signatures against it.
Now, multiply that by 20-plus states whose ballot deadlines have not already passed. More than half (26) are already closed, including Electoral College-rich states like Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Another seven states and Washington DC will have deadlines pass by the end of this week — including Ohio, California, Colorado, and New Hampshire. That leaves a grand total of 17 states still open next Monday, only five of which have ballot deadlines past the end of this month.
I don’t know (or care) who evan is but I know what he is - a spoiled child spoiler. I will remember the name and make sure that a shyt-storm follows him everywhere he goes.
