Evan McMullin - Neocon Ratfucking Redux

So why is Evan McMullin in the race?

The Republicans against Trump needn't bother really. Trump is on the way to losing and losing big and they know it.

This continues the "Never Trump" movement that Bloody Bill Kristoll has been pushing since forever.

So here comes an unknown with an impeccable Neocon resume; CIA, Goldman Sachs and adviser to the Republican House Leadership.

Bloody Bill is "consulted" and his ass is kissed. This drone's connections to the old line Neocon faction are highlighted and the show hits the road.

But why do it at all?

This is a PNAC ratfucking redux.

He is not needed to defeat Trump and all the Republicans know it. Hillary will score more than 310 electoral college votes no matter what else happens.

This is part of the upcoming con job that will attempt to paint the Clinton landslide as Illegitimate.

It is an scam meant to make it easier for the "LIBERAL PRESS" to discount the voice of Democrats and to continue the false equivalency game during Hillary's administration.

They are attempting to lay out a long con. A con that can be used in congress (and peddled in the press to make it seem believable) to limit, delay and minimize programs put forward in Hillary's term of office

...or thinking she's obliged to immediately tack to the right of the platform she'll be elected on.

They can lay at his feet will be ammunition for the never ending "Hillary doesn't really have much support" commentary.

Gridlock is the official GOP strategy and any tools they can use to achieve it is worth the effort to them...

Thanks for the reply, peace

Which is what I think the "never Trump" strategy is at this point.

He could take Utah away from Trump. I see that as a positive. He's on With All Due Respect now and he comes off as a know-it-all. Mark and Donny are falling for him, in fact Donny wants to sit next to him at dinner! Of course, he looks like them - white, rich and male.

McMullin won't get much traction elsewhere.
