#1 Former CIA operative... and current Clinton operative.

Still, it's nice to see that the staff of National Review will have someone to vote for. Poor dears.

Your mission Evan, should you choose/decide to accept it, ...

As always, should you or any of your I.M. Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape/disc will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Evan.

#4 This guy is so unknown, such a late entry to the race and has so little chance that he is not the least bit newsworthy but count on ABC to give him free publicity anyway.

How many states will even put him on their ballots?

#5 "I’m the only candidate in this race that has any firsthand experience in fighting terror," he said. They use the word "operative" loosely - this man is a Fobbit - if that. Reading all those mean intel reports probably gave him Fobbit PTSD and delusions of granduer.

#6 He's not on the majority of ballots. Statistically I think he has 0% chance as anything except a spoiler.

Having said that I'd like to see such a spoiler come in and do the dirty work of attacking Hillary and exposing everything before flaming out in a way that sends his votes to Trump. Run blocker for the actual candidate.

#7 Who's financing this?

No, I mean who's really financing this?

I've got some ideas . . . .

#9 This is about keeping Trump below the winning threshold in Utah/Idaho and any other states with a significant percentage of Mormon voters.
