Go McMullin in Utah

The chances of Hill taking Utah are pretty slim... It's not like a Democrat is going to win that state. But instead of having those electoral votes go to Trump, wouldn't be great if McMullin takes them away from him? It's a three way statistical tie as it is, but Trump still has the advantage.

I'm figuring that his Utah voters will just stay home... And they should.

I would love to see Trump's deficit get bigger by six votes either way.

Go Mcmullen, GO!

It looks like the Utah Dems should vote for McMullin so that trump loses Utah. But the only thing that I don't like about that idea is that would hurt Hillary in the National Popular vote.

I think that we can afford to be generous... ONLY in Utah.
