Evan McMullin

Two things come to mind when I see his candidacy: One, some LDS (and non LDS) are deeply misguided when they  think he'll win and two, some anti-LDS have nothing but screaming rage for our church, don't they? Both types of people are not exactly what you want to aspire too.

First off, I'm going to be blunt-Evan McMullin has absolutely no chance to win. Period. None. Nothing. Like it or not, in this country at this moment you need political experience to win the highest office in the land. Trump is proving that you can't just be a total outsider with no political experience and win. Evan McMulliin is much more polite and friendly than Trump, so many LDS like and admire him for that. He's still a political outsider who no one even heard of until a few months ago. He has no chance whatsoever and voting for him instead of Johnson, Hillary or Trump shows that you are really struggling with how politics works.

Second-there are idiots out there who think that McMullin is part of the grand LDS mafia (Lou Dobbs reference here) who sit back in our temples and conspire on how we are going to take over the world. Never has such power thought to be had by a religion so small. The LDS church is only 15 million people and the blunt truth is that people outside the religion don't care to much about what the LDS church does or thinks. 85% of non-members do not think much of the LDS church. No, that's not an insult-you don't think much of religions that you aren't part of either. Yet there are some people who let their ignorance of the church delude them into creating whack job conspiracies about the church. What bullshit.
