So da moron ain't me, you da moron.

How does McMullin winning Utah prevent Clinton from reaching 270 if Utah isn't a part of the Clinton Strategy? Keep in mind that Utah is the only state that McMullin is competitive in.

You're clowning Trumpset while ignoring this is McMuffin's strategy that relies on archaic rules to take the vote out of the hands of the people. He's relying on winning Utah and making it slightly harder for either candidate to get 270 electoral votes, which would then have Congress pick him. It's a longshot scenario, but Hilltron stans could lose too...
Hillary has multiple paths to 270 and none of them involve Utah. The only way this could hurt Hillary is if a McMullin Utah win produced an electoral college deadlock, but the chances of that are slim to none (with the current polling picture).

Trump is the one who needs every single red state. If he loses Utah, it has no effect on Hillary's chances of reaching 270 or more. Evan McMullin is essentially running to sink Trump's campaign.

It's not part of her strategy, but his strategy is win Utah and hope third party votes shake up results relative to what pollsters are predicting right now, so neither candidate gets to 270. Hilldog pretty much has this election wrapped up, but this happening is not a statistical impossibility at this point.

I see the McMullin narrative presented this way in news articles as well, and I don't get it. Hillary has multiple paths to 270 and none of them involve Utah. The only way this could hurt Hillary is if a McMullin Utah win produced an electoral college deadlock, but the chances of that are slim to none (with the current polling picture).

You're right. There's like a 1% chance of it happening. I'd just rather it not even be a possibility. I'd rather see Hillary win Utah than McMullin. I feel like the potential for this is terrible for our democracy, even if what he's doing is within the confines of the democratic process. Given that this could happen, I just don't understand why anyone would cheer for him to win the state.

I think Trump's chances of winning the election are still greater than that of an electoral college deadlock. So long as Trump doesn't win Utah, however, he can't win the election.

Hillary >>> Trump >>> Electoral Deadlock

Hillary won't win Utah under any circumstances. There aren't enough Democrats and Utah Republicans despise her more than anywhere else. The fact that McMullin is also beating her there is a testament to that. So you can prefer she win all you want to, but it's either going to be Trump or McMullin. Those are the options. Utah Dems will hopefully see the big picture and throw their support behind McMullin.
