I actually was thinking about voting for him until he made the stupid "Lincoln was a third-party candidate" claim (or at least his facebook page does).

Wasn't that Johnson?

I know that Johnson said it. McMullin could have as well though.

Egg McMuffin is the second most qualified person in this election
This. He has just as much experience as many former presidents.
I don't think this is true.

He held his highest post (chief policy director for the House Republicans) for a brief time.

Prior to that, he advised the House Republicans on foreign policy issues.

He's essentially the equivalent of a two term congressman when it comes to experience. And that's pretty low for historical presidents.

Below average Presidents (in terms of qualifications) included Woodrow Wilson (President of Princeton University, Governor of New Jersey for two years) and Rutherford B Hayes (two term Governor of Ohio and former Congressman)

Honestly, Lincoln was rather underqualified. State representative, one term in the House ten years prior, and a failed Senate candidate (granted it wasn't a popular election).

Rutherford B. Hayes doesn't sound unqualified in terms of experience.
