The Never-Trump crowd is yet again trying to spoil a Donald Trump presidency with a candidate that they think conservatives will get behind.
Evan McMullin has the pedigree that every establishment conservative has dreamed about. He went to BYU, worked for Goldman Sachs, was a CIA agent, and finally a former policy director for the Republican Party. Despite all that, he is still pretty unknown and has never held elected office. He is the perfect patsy to help Republicans like Romney throw this election to Hillary Clinton.

McMullin has been very vocal on twitter in his attacks on Donald Trump.
Authoritarians like @realDonaldTrump use promises of law & order to justify infringing on civil rights as they consolidate control by force.

Americans deserve to see @realDonaldTrump‘s tax returns immediately. If he won’t be transparent on this, how could we trust his presidency?

Opposing @realDonaldTrump is about putting principle over power, a virtue some in Washington are too quick to abandon. #NeverTrump

In a very unusual manner, Donald Trump has not yet responded to Evan McMullin’s run or his personal attacks on Donald Trump.
This is the Romney era establishment Republicans latest effort to derail Donald Trump’s run and block a Republican-controlled executive branch. I don’t expect McMullin to pull very many votes, but he does give elected Conservatives an alternative placeholder for them to support. A few had already claimed that they would vote for Hillary in November.
Make no mistakes, this election will be rigged against Trump, but not by the Democrats. The Republicans have already given the White House to Clinton.
