Evan McMullin, the non-racist Republican

"I think we need a new conservative movement," McMullin told me. That movement "would embrace the cause of individual liberty," "would be inclusive" and "embrace diversity." Case in point, his view on Black Lives Matter. When I asked him what he hears in the phrase, he said, "I hear a statement of fact. ... As a white male, there are certain challenges that African-Americans face that I don't understand because I haven't lived them."

His policies would obviously hurt lots of folks, African-Americans included. But, unlike the Party of Trump, that is not the goal.

There's a reason why an overwhelming majority of white 'conservatives' chose Trump instead of someone like this guy.
