Independent Candidate Evan McMullin Says He’s Not Responsible If Trump Loses
[ABCNEWS.GO] New independent candidate for president Evan McMullin said his entrance into the race won't affect Donald Trump's chances because "it's so likely that Donald Trump will lose" anyway.A former CIA operative, McMullin is billing himself as a conservative alternative to Trump. "He’s not a credible candidate," McMullin said of Trump on "This Week." "It's so likely that Donald Trump will lose...my entrance into the race doesn't affect that," McMullin told ABC's Martha Raddatz. A new NBC/WSJ/Marist poll released Friday showed that Trump is trailing rival  Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillaryand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Timothy Pickering... by double digits in key battleground states. McMullin, who threw his hat into the ring on Aug. 8, said he’s more qualified than Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in battling terrorism. "I’m the only candidate in this race that has any firsthand experience in fighting terror," he said. "Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, I think, have proven in different ways that they're unprepared for that challenge." The conservative candidate said he "absolutely" has a chance of winning, but acknowledged that it would have been better if someone with wide name recognition had entered the race earlier.
