I Read Evan McMullin’s Facebook Page So You Don’t Have To

1. He loves the Founding Fathers. He’s a big Lincoln fan, posting a photo of the Emancipator statue that freed slaves helped pay for, and one of a Penley painting of Lincoln hanging in “Leader McCarthy’s office.” Art works featuring George Washington and Ben Franklin also make appearances, and as he passed through Philadelphia he paused to post a photo of the Liberty Bell with the inscription, “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof.” He is also a fan of Winston Churchill. 2. He believes Muslim-bashing is wrong and also dangerous to U.S. interests:

Fan of Winston Churchill.

I take from that, considering the poster... that trump, like Obama.... is not a fan of Winston.

In three years of Facebook posts, he never commented on a domestic issue, economic or social. He never said anything on any specific issue that a diehard Democrat couldn’t applaud.
This confirms what I've said all along about this guy. He is a cipher, a nobody, a complete blank slate.

Consider Donald Trump. Even though he's never held public office, Trump has 30 years of very public statements to go by. (Most of them are disqualifying.) McMullin doesn't even have that. His main selling point seems to be that he's not Donald Trump. Well, yeah, but neither is Hillary Clinton, but that doesn't mean we should vote for her.

Evan McMullin is running a vanity campaign to make himself more famous. He manages to be even less qualified than Trump. On the pressing issues of our times, McMullin offers—literally—dead silence.

The only person who would seriously consider voting for this guy is as big of a sucker as Trump's most fervent sycophant.

So far that only thing to me that stands out about McMullin is the fact the he got into this race so late. In looking at the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party they have been struggling for a long time to try to qualify and still haven't managed to be on the ballot in all 50 states and then along comes this guy a few weeks before early voting starts with no background to speak of and expects people to vote for him just because he proclaims to be a Trump alternative?  Something just isn't right in Brooklyn folks.

Also,  I could be wrong, but from my understanding in order to get onto the ballot one must declare a VP.  Who is his VP?  We know that Castle/Bradley is running for the Constitution Party and Johnson/Weld is running for the Libertarian party.

He worked for the CIA.  The last thing he wants is some foreign power to have blackmail material on him... to use as leverage to force him to tell about his time at the agency.

Well, then, why is a CIA employee running for President—unless this is a coup attempt?

If he retired overt - i.e., can tell people he was with the CIA - then there is very little likelihood that anyone has blackmail material on him.

I admit to being intrigued.   For me,  his message is spot on -  pro-growth, pro-business, serious and sensible about the present crises,  spot-on with his candid observation that we need to ally with Muslims to fight the terrorists,  moderate on social issues.   He's a spook like Putin,  but I'd still take him over a racialist clown or Nixon in a pantsuit.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Such bold statements, full of wisdom./s  Golly and I thought it was OK to do research on the guy, read and listen to what he has to say. Listen to his views on Justices like nominating ones who would overturn Roe v Wade.  Find out more about his work on policy issues with the GOP. He has discussed some of his work with CIA and what that involved including trying to turn Al Qaeda operatives to our side and working to get government officials in Arab countries to back our policies. I do know he actually did missionary work for 2 years in Brazil. I don't know if I will vote for the man yet, but I have no problem with him running and voicing his vision for America. So far I found nothing to disqualify a vote for him based on the stances he has articulated and I look forward to seeing him in further interviews, especially hard hitting ones to see how he responds. I don't know of anyone that is a blank slate. I am sure right now trump people are looking for any dirt they can find on him.

You really think at this late moment he decided to run for vanity reasons? I happen to believe what he said about hoping that a big name conservative would jump in and when none did he wanted to offer an alternative.

Researching this candidate is a very intelligent thing to do and I commend you for doing so. Unfortunately this election has shattered any glimmer of hope I had in placing a Republican let alone a conservative in the White House. In the beginning  of this race (at least for me)  Trump seemed like a great conservative candidate; anti-illegal immigration, ending sanctuary cities and building the wall. He even held a joint rally with Cruz regarding Iran.  Soon after he did an about face and it's really been downhill from that point forward.  I realize this thread isn't about Trump; but he has shattered my faith in the election process.  Dishonesty and corruption seems to have won over Constitutional conservatism. I trust neither Trump or Clinton and perhaps that is why I am so skeptical of Evan McMullin.  He comes forward after he realizes that a big name conservative isn't going to jump in??  It's very late in the game -- big name such as, Romney?  Cruz, Walker, Bush, etc., already ran under the Republican umbrella and jumping in this late in the game as an Independent would have been political suicide and I'm not so sure they would even be eligible to run. He only has about a month to make an incredibly huge impact against all odds to persuade people to vote for him in the states that he's qualified as early voting starts. Where is he getting his money to run?  I find it interesting that he's managed to get several interviews when Castle and Johnson who have been in the game a lot longer haven't been able to accomplish that.

I don't know of any state that has that requirement.  The Constitution certainly isn't set up for that -- the Electoral College votes are separate for Prez and Veep.
