Evan McMullin kicks off his campaign by discussing the issues that matter...

[brooklynite]

HH: Yeah, and do you believe, my other second question which is a GPS question, do you believe Alger Hiss was a communist spy?

EM: Oh, I don’t know that I could comment on that either way. I guess these things, if we’re going to keep talking, Hugh, I need to look into these things and I can give you an answer. I can give you an opinion.

1. Another winner emerges..

[whatthehey]

2. a GPS question?

Some TLA usage I'm not twigging here...

[emulatorloo]

3. I ass-ume refers to Global Positioning System (GPS)

So I think that's HH's way of saying he wants to get at McMullin's underlying philosophical/ideological positions.

Find out where McMullin is on the map.

At least, that's how I read it.

4. I read as long as I could

but THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE - "I think Bill is a great American who understands what makes this country special. He understands the sources of its strength and the course for its brightest future."

That statement when added to his resume; CIA, Goldman Sachs and adviser to the Republican House Leadership tells me all I need to know.

the counter attack of the Neocon pig fuckers begins now...

[emulatorloo]

5. He's not gonna win. But he's gonna take votes from Trump

This guy is the candidate of Bill Kristol and the Republican "Stop Trump" movement.

HH: Is Bill Kristol part of your inner circle?

EM: Bill Kristol is somebody who I consulted ahead of making this decision. I think Bill is a great American who understands what makes this country special. He understands the sources of its strength and the course for its brightest future.

6. Yeah, I know that. This continues the "Never Trump" movement that Bloody Bill has been pushing

But Bloody Bill is "consulted" and his ass is kissed. This drone's connections to the old line Neocon faction are highlighted.

This is a PNAC ratfucking redux.

He is not needed to defeat Trump and all the Republicans know it. Hillary will score more than 310 electoral college votes no matter what else happens.

This is part of the con job that will attempt to paint the Clinton landslide as not legitimate.

It is an scam meant to make it easier for the "LIBERAL PRESS" to discount the voice of Democrats and to continue the false equivalency game during Hillary's administration.

They are attempting to lay out a long con.

7. that makes a hell of a lot of sense. Thanks for posting it.

9. I was skeptical as well, when I heard his story,first pushed by Scarborough on his show that morning

Scarborough said that he had been getting calls about an announcement to come soon and that it was legit.

When this guy finally emerged, his background was that he had attended BYU, worked for the CIA for 20 years, attended the Wharton School of Business, worked, for Goldman Sacs, then worked for Congress. And by the way, the guy is 40 years old. I thought to myself, that is a lot to have done for someone whose only 40 years old.

After having read the transcript, this guys story sounds even more bogus. And now he throws in having completed a Mormon mission which would throw another two years into the mix of this very interesting story. Having close connections to Utah and the Mormon community, he would not have been able to go on a mission until he was at least 19, so that would account for another two years somehow mixed into his semesters at BYU and going back and forth between his semesters at BYU and time spent at the CIA. He claimed to know arabic doesn't mention anything about where he learned it. Having been in the military and been stationed at Monterey, CA, where the Defense Language Institute is located, that is where everyone connected to DoD goes for foreign language training, so he would have to add another stint there for at least a year learning Arabic. But then again, he has somehow forgotten it. My, my. I certainly wouldn't have forgotten it, if my life depended on it as I'm sure his would have while he was running his covert operations in the Middle East. I took French back in high school 40 something years ago, before Rosetta Stone, and I've never forgotten it. My, my. So much to have done in so little time. Also, having worked for DoD and working with many people going and coming from the Middle East since the first gulf war, even the white people who've spent any time in the Middle East come back looking like brown people. After all, how covert can you be, with pale white skin. If he spent 20 years in the Middle East, he sure doesn't look like it.

But this is his story and I'm sure they are sticking to it. After all, this guy would be the answer to their prayers. He's a patriot.

11. He's a TBM (true-believing Mormon) so lying is second nature to him.

Lies that benefit Mormon Church, Inc. are a holy sacrament to these people.

[procon]

8. What a gasbag!

Hewitt probably thinks irrelevant dives into history makes him look brilliant smart.

[rusty fender]

10. Not so long ago, didn't Bill Kristol

try this with a guy who worked in a think tank, or maybe he was a journalist? Just another pathetic attempt to stop the Donald
