even though I have the refreshing freedom of voting in a state with a completely uncontested election, I am torn on how to vote:

1. Write in Evan McMullin, following my heart to the white horse. This is a meaningless vote and is inconsequential to Evan's path to victory.

2. Vote Gary the Idiot. I don't support Gary, but I do want my vote to increase the validity of a third party as an investment in the future.

3. Vote Hill. I don't want to vote for hill, BUT I DO want do to my part to ensure that Trump loses by the widest possible margin and is completely humiliated. This path is the only way to rationalize that my vote is counting in any way.

Why not write in Pat Roberts, or Condi Rice, or Marco Rubio, or whatever other generic republican that actually represents the state you vote in?

are any of those people Mormon CIA operatives with a TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED body count in their wake. I like condie, but she has no path to victory and none of the above are even asking for the chance to be president?

I don't understand why I would do what you said why not I do.

When the House is trying to select a president from the top 3 electoral vote getters, I want lame duck Huelskamp or whoever to see that one brave constituent wrote in Elder McMullin. I think it will matter.

Matter in what way? HRC is going to end up with around 350 votes in the EC and will have over 50% of the popular vote. Then there's this:

You live in restricted ass Kansas anyway, voting for McMullin is no different than voting for Stalin, your vote literally will be thrown out. Meanwhile he's on the ballot here, I could be bought, I definitely have a price.

Matter in the 1% chance scenario where Hill can't get to 270 so the House chooses the President. My write-in could lead Lynn Jenkins to go for Evan instead of Don.

Fivethirtyeight and real clear politics both have Iowa as a Hillary lean.

Some interesting thoughts on Thiel's motives following all of the tweets.

http://qz.com/811993/peter-thiels-support-of-donald-trump-has-divided-silicon-valley-but-it-has-roots-in-his-long-held-libertarian-ideology/

I don't which I find more LOL, the "persuasion" shtick scott adams is doing or the "chess master" narratives about Trump and Thiel.  They are just self-evident bullshit.

Both just assholes?

Just wait for Scott Adams "He didn't want to win, he just persuaded himself to a television network" article to which everyone answers "WE KNOW!"

To me, one of the greatest mysteries and legends of this inane spectacle was that the author of Dilbert became a vocal participant in this process.

That's not quite Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato Jr. on the RNC stage, but it's above a lot of other stuff.

trump's brand is tanking so badly that his hotels are rebranding from "Trump" to "Scion".
