SALT LAKE CITY — As presidential candidate Evan McMullin (I) and his team watched the election results come in Tuesday night, they were furiously rewriting his speech. They, like most of the nation, were shocked that Donald Trump was poised as of early Wednesday morning to potentially win the presidency of the United States.
But McMullin’s core campaign message, that the Republican party had forsaken its principles and allowed itself to be hijacked by a parasite named Trump, was validated by the incoming results, he told the crowd of supporters here in Utah. As of late Tuesday night, Trump led McMullin by at least a 2 to 1 margin in his home state.

I would say that the party has pretty well driven conservatives out; no need to abandon.
The Republican Party is winning. People tend to not abandon the winning party.
Logic fail.
I tend to agree, McMuffin can have the Romneycans and American Conservatives can be left free from these phonies.
there is apparently no cure for idiocy or saboutage
this guy is at least as leftist as Mr Trump has ever been
for him to talk about what conservatives should do... is ridiculous...and I think he’s a paid stooge to weaken (and until yesterday, try to defeat) our nominee
His running mate, Mindy Finn, had expressed interest in this a month or so ago. I suspect that they will be doing something on this front.
But he’ll need to broaden it beyond his nexus.
Evan, please tell us.......what exactly ARE Conservative principles?
I’d like to see your list in writing.
This guy is an absolute IDIOT..hey Egg McMuffin..Conservatives are the ones that put Trump in the White House!
Say hello to Mittens for us
“Conservative” Meaning corporate lobby/donor class whore in establishment vernacular.
After the guy wins his first electoral vote then I will start listening to him!
Good question, I have no idea.
The stupid jerk probably cost us VA last night. That would have been a nice take-down for us and would have made it a shorter night for all.
Wasn’t this creep for big government, the police state and constant wars? How is that conservative?
one thing that is good, Utah voted for Mr Trump
and NOT this idiot
(nor Mike Lee, once worth listening to, yes, but who has now voted for this article’s idiot)
No more bashing Mormons about how they might follow sheepishly their bishop Gov. Romney in undermining our nominee! They voted for Mr. Trump!!!
YIPPEE!
Didn’t that just happen? Like yesterday? I’m pretty sure actual Conservatives have already left the Republican party.
No, I didn’t read the article.
I had a hamburger for lunch and I didn’t like the pickles. So I left them on the plate. And, I didn’t ask them for advice.
