Can't even imagine what Trump's gonna say, can you?

If the Evan McMullin alternative really pans out.

My thought is that he will go ballistic (crazier than ever)?

What if this guy takes off? What if he pulls Hillary voters? Will we end up with the votes tied three ways?

3. He'll defer all questions to Meredith McIver. Who will never be available for comment.

“So we’re walking by all these big buildings in New York that I’d read about in the book, and I’m thinking, what the heck, let’s call him,” Leach says.

The coach dialed information to get a number for Trump Enterprises, then called the main line, where he talked a receptionist into transferring him to Trump’s personal assistant, Meredith McIver.

Leach didn’t get to speak to Trump that day, but as he walked the streets of New York City with cabs honking in the background and his daughters exchanging amused looks as they trailed along behind him, he bonded with McIver in a phone conversation that centered on their Utah ties – he went to BYU and she’s a Utah alum.


Let me add: I think a person exists - but quite possible the McIver is a pseudonym. Someone is co-author on many of his books - because the ghost writer of Art of the Deal - said he wrote the whole thing. Trump has no patience to write a book. So he may have hire some extremely well paid writer who agrees to take the fall for whatever he wants her to take the fall for. Just guessing here of course

5. Right. A phone conversation.

Then there was that time another reporter said someone named Meredith McIver came into the interview office and dropped off a sheaf of papers. And anyone can put a co-author's name on a book. No one has really spoken to this person face-to-face.

I don't even think there is a real person who is taking the fall, as you say. I think it's a completely made-up person, same as Trump's previous pseudonyms. Why on Earth he would choose the name of someone who actually exists is a mystery but then Trump has never been known for his smarts. Or his business acumen. Or his ability to speak coherently.
