Central Intelligence Agency veteran and a former chief policy director in the House Republican Conf, is said to be announcing an independent run for the presidency today, according to several reports…
His name is Evin McMullin…
“In a year where Americans have lost faith in the candidates of both major parties, it’s time for a generation of new leadership to step up,” McMullin said in a statement to ABC News.
“It’s never too late to do the right thing, and America deserves much better than either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton can offer us. I humbly offer myself as a leader who can give millions of disaffected Americans a conservative choice for President,” he added.
McMullin has criticized Trump in recent weeks, perhaps foreshadowing arguments he could use.
“As Donald Trump continues attacking Muslims and as a former CIA officer, I’d like all Americans to know the truth: American and other Muslims have played a central role in virtually every counterterrorism win we’ve had since 9/11,” McMullin wrote on Facebook last week.
“They are an indispensable asset in this fight. Attacking them as a group makes America weaker, not stronger,” he added.
At the same time, a number of Republicans argue the party would be better off either uniting around Trump or focusing its efforts on saving as many House and Senate seats as possible if it appears that Trump will lose the White House.
Some in the GOP have long viewed efforts to find an alternative to Trump as a waste of energy and resources.
Alright. Should we just congratulate Hillary now for her win, since we’re helping her move into the White House anyway? We make it so easier for Democrats, it’s embarrassing…and dangerous.

YOU want me to believe I am the first to post any comment? I don’t believe others haven’t commented on how this guy can go after Trump but as a CIA Officer, must have had a lot he could have said about Killer Hillary yet he doesn’t. This doesn’t make any sense to me and I’ll bet a lot of others two. I wouldn’t vote for him for anything, let alone President. Find some other occupation if you don’t like the CIA.
I think we still have free choice so what does it matter if 10 people run if you want Trump VOTE TRUMP
So he can put Trump down and not anything about Hillary? I believe he is just what they call a “Plant”. Just to throw of Trump voters..I will not Vote for him,even if I was voting for a democrat…
I agree totally. DNC are desperate.
Could be in Hilarys pocket. Just another ploy to divide the vote thus assuring dems win
I won’t vote for him I think Trump is the best choice. People will fall for it and take the votes from Trump just like they plan and then guess what???? hillary will be in the front and winning. I love this country of mine please God Bless America!! My old saying is “you can’t fix stupid” and we have so many people who just bury their heads in the sand. We are in a very sad state for our country.. Come on America open your eyes and step up to the plate, stand up for what you believe, help bring this beautiful country back to us.
I WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP.HILLERY IS A CRIMINAL.OTHERS JUST DO NOT HAVE WHAT IT TAKE,JUST TRYING TO TAKE TRUMP VOTERS FROM HIM.SO GET LOST.WE WILL BE LOYAL TRUMPERS..
This is totally insane. I cannot even believe I am a republican. We have a nominee and need to stand behind him. He defeated all the candidates that he was up against, that should tell you republican leaders something but you are not listening! If Hilary went up against half that many candidates se wouldn’t still be standing. We have to stand behind Donald Trump if you don’t want to see an exodus of voters leave the party.
Really who believes this garbage. So a nobody that has never been heard of is jumping into the Presidential race. This guy just woke up from a coma after missing the last year.
He is stupid if he was so good and knows everything why is he not already in the race he don’t need to talk about Mr Trump our next President he could not even be a good Cia excited he was just their for a payday he can forget itu8
Must be a mole like Comey. This is all trash. She can kill anyone and get away with it. Say what she wants and get away with it. The Republican Establishment Elitists are joined at the hip with uneducated Liberals and Democrats. You cant tell the apart. Their so brain washed by the Obalama islamic socialistic communistic jihads anti-American hate till they will do anything to steal this election. But they wont. We are still ONE NATION UNDER GOD!!! And those that still believe and pray, trust in God will not back down//1
How can this asshole McMullen even think about this another ploy by killery to beat Trump. all the fucking rhino republicans are going against Trump tells me they are on killery’s payment list a bunch of no good bastardized dumb assed old fart’s
Those Republican politicians who think they know so much more than we voters really pi_s me off! It’s like we voters aren’t intelligent enough to make up our own minds who we want to represent us that we need their help!! I grew up on the old saying “if you want something done right…do it yourself!!” Guess what you old GOP hypocrites???? We Republicans are a lot smarter than you give us credit…Mess with us and you’ll all be out of a job!!! Trump is obviously the choice for a great many of the Republican voters so you can either be with us or against us!!!!!!!!!
I am voting for McMullin. At least he is decent.
