Independant for Utah, better president than Trump or Hilliary

A FORMER CIA operative and self-described member of the “Mormon Mafia” is on track to steal an unlikely election victory in Utah that could prove a devastating “October surprise” for both Clinton and Trump.
Independent candidate Evan McMullin only joined the race in August out of a disillusionment with the extreme rhetoric of Donald Trump. The Utah-born former counter-terrorism adviser and investment banker has described himself as a “nobody” whose chances of winning have been likened to a “moon shot”.
However the understated operator has proved a national sensation in the dying days of one of the most bitter and controversial campaigns in history. The latest Utah polls show him within the margin of error against Donald Trump in what has been a Republican state for the last 50 years.
If McMullin does manage to win the state and its six electoral college votes, it could prove a devastating upset for the Trump campaign who have come within one percentage point nationally of Hillary Clinton following revelations more emails have been seized from the laptop of disgraced Democrat Anthony Weiner this week.
On Monday, the unmarried McMullin came under attack from white nationalist Trump supporter William Johnson who branded him a “closet homosexual” and highlighted the fact his mother married another woman after divorcing his father.
McMullin hit back hard, saying it’s consistent with “Trump’s bigoted, deceitful campaign and vision for America. Utahns won’t be fooled.”
“I’m a nobody they say, I’m proud to be a nobody,” he told Fox News on Monday.
“We’re not trying to win 270 votes,” he said about his strategy of appealing to moderate Republicans in Utah which is around 60 per cent Mormon. “What we’re trying to do is earn enough electoral votes to block Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump if the race between both of them is so close that we are able to do that by winning one or two states.”
