I bet he ends up being the de facto Democrat like Greg Orman or Al Gross. In any case, I still expect Lee to win fairly easily.

This loser still hasn’t paid his 2016 staff

A pure grifter

He’s an insult to Mormonism and I hope the chief elder excommunicates him

Agreed, I imagine he’ll be the de facto Democratic nominee. Utah Democrats don’t have a credible candidate, so they might as well back a high profile independent.

Also agree, this race won’t be competitive in any case. Safe Republican.

If they don't, the most likely outcome is that McMullin draws away some Democratic votes, which would inflate Lee's margin of victory.

I don't see him getting that 22% again, not remotely close. And Lee is hardly the bogeyman or Trump shill that his 2016 formula could work (you can argue whether it did in 2016 or not)

Probably tough for McMullin but I don't know if you guys realize that Lee is not actually popular in Utah. He's being challenged in the primary and last I saw hasn't polled at 50%. Someone correct if I'm wrong of course, but if I was McMullin I'd absolutely be shooting my shot.

I'm rooting for absolute chaos in this race and even though McMullin isn't much better than Lee from a policy standpoint, I at least respect his principle.

Utahns would probably rather vote for a literal egg McMuffin than Evan McMullin. He will lose.

I assume he caucused with Republicans if he wins?

Yes, he'd he an improvement over Mike Lee marginally, but not someone for Democrats to care about.

I could see McMullin pulling in like 3-6% of the vote here.

McMuffin could barely crack 20% of the vote against Donald J. Trump, the worst Republican fit for Utah in known history.

Also, Mike Lee is an electoral monster in Utah who won 70% of the vote with Trump on the ballot. (Granted, his opponent was literally a transgender running in UTAH).

He won't win, obviously, and I especially doubt that he helps the Democratic candidate at all, but he at least is going to make this race a little interesting compared to how it would have been without him.

I endorse McMullin (again), but expect Lee to win easily.

You’re correct. While I still think Lee will win by a large margin, McMullin will draw some moderate D, independent, and moderate R voters in Utah. He certainly has a much better chance than whoever the Ds nominate. (McAdams?)

McMullin despite being a literal nobody got 20% of the vote in a presidential election after a few weeks of campaigning, coming closer than any 3rd party candidate since Perot to winning a state. He’s unlikely to beat Lee, but acting like his 2016 performance is indicative of *weakness* is a bit silly.

I disagree.  He may essentially be a Republican in all but name BUT he’d at least be a respectable one.  He would never advocate for overthrowing American democracy.  In the present timeline, that outweighs one’s politics.

All Democrats in the state should get behind him.  He’s literally the only chance—however small it may be—of toppling a Trump Republican in the state.
