Authoritarians like @realDonaldTrump use promises of law & order to justify infringing on civil rights as they consolidate control by force.

McMullin doesn't stand a prayer and will serve to do noting more than siphon votes away from Trump. Enough to make a difference? I doubt it.
The GOP is in panic mode because Trump's not going to play ball. Everyone wants someone to come in and turn it all upside-down until that prospect is a reality, now they're freaking out.
Two choices: Business as usual, or flip the cart.
See, we don't need to take up pitchforks and storm the Capitol with throat slitting knives to effect some major change. We just have to have the stones to vote for the equivalent. You think the vested interests want to see that tree shaken?

Sorry, but Johnson has a better chance of getting that vote than this guy no one knows or will ever hear of does. People at least know of Johnson and the names who have endorsed him already from the GOP.

We finally get a candidate who isn't a life-long politician and isn't owned by special interests and big banks in Trump. Why would you want an alternative??

If you REALLY thought Hillary had this election, you wouldn't obsess with Trump's candidacy.....

This guy will give them the option to get more GOP voters out, and while voting for this guy they also vote the rest of the party line.

It makes me wonder, where the hell was this guy a year ago?
... it seems like the more the entrenched powers push for an alternative to Trump, the stronger he gets.

[And here's another prediction I'm probably wrong about. I think Trump will quit before the election because his numbers will be so low, and blame the rigged system and crooked Hillary, instead of taking responsibility for his antics.
