3:46Now PlayingTYT's Michael Shure went to the ultra-conservative state of Utah to find out why Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is struggling to win a state that most Republicans would win going away. One reason is the upstart candidacy of Evan McMullin.
Jonah Goldberg writes for the LA Times:
If you think 2016 will stop being weird come Nov. 8, please look at your calendars: This whole election process actually lasts almost an additional two months beyond that. But just because it’s been a weird year, that doesn’t mean it has to end badly. There’s reason to hope.
Consider independent write-in candidate for president Evan McMullin. He has virtually no chance of winning the election on Nov. 8, but he does have a shot at becoming president by the end of December.

It’s a long shot. Very long. But if McMullin managed the greatest upset of all time, it would be a very good thing, and not just because so many of us would rather see someone other than Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in the White House.
McMullin, whom I’ve met several times, is an earnest, patriotic and brave man who spent nearly a decade serving his country undercover in the CIA. He was until recently the chief policy director of the House Republican Conference. He would not be my — or his own! — first choice for president under normal circumstances. But that horse long ago left the barn — and then got hit by a truck.
