Yes, it is still highly unlikely McMullin and Finn will make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. However, considering the duo's high popularity in Utah and Trump's high unpopularity in the ruby red state, there's an extremely plausible chance the campaign will make history. McMullin could very well become the first non-major party presidential candidate to pick up votes in the Electoral College by winning Utah. For what it's worth, Jonathan Walczak at The Hill argued McMullin could become the president, if neither Clinton nor Trump hits 270 electoral votes.

Because her ticket may take Utah from Trump and other would-be Republican votes, Finn has been faced with many variations of the "spoiler" or "wasted vote" question: is voting for her and McMullin a wasted vote or just spoiling things for the Republican nominee?

"My message on that is that nobody is entitled to your vote. Your vote is yours alone. It's your voice," Finn tells me. "You would be wasting your vote to vote for somebody that you don't support and you don't believe in. We also have to get beyond this lesser of two evils arguments. ... If we continue to vote that way, we will continue to get leaders that are unsatisfactory and that we don't believe best represent America."

In other words, you are crapping your pants this morning because you believe Trump may win. Newsflash, Trump wins with or without Utah.

And besides, I listened to McMullen the other day on tv, and the guy is a complete idiot.

I've already voted a few times. Guess I could go again and throw one McMullen's way.

The idiots were the ones running him. He just hurts conservative candidates down ballot because they encourage ticket splitting. They should have gotten behind Johnson if they wanted an alternative.

I have always said that I wasn't voting for Trump & very unlikely to vote for HRC. They're both crooked & neither deserves to be president. I refuse to lower my standards to vote for one of them. McMullen/Finn are the best alternative.

The problem with this cycle is that the alternatives suck. I rank everyone in this order:

1. Trump
2. Stein
3. McMullen
4. Johnson
5. Hillary

I dont agree with Stein at all, but at least she comes across as a decent person who was serious. When Johnson comes down off his synthetic marijuana high in a few months, maybe he will realize how badly he screwed the libertarian party.

He's not on my ballot. #trump2016

The alternatives don't suck as bad as the two main candidates.

My wife and I both wrote-in McMullen. But that's in NY so it won't matter in Utah.
