Anti-Trump Republican Evan McMullin to launch independent bid for presidency

Quote
Evan McMullin, the chief policy director for Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, will offer discontented members of his party an option this November by launching an independent, conservative bid for president.
“In a year where Americans have lost faith in the candidates of both major parties, it’s time for a generation of new leadership to step up," McMullin said in a statement to ABC News. "It’s never too late to do the right thing, and America deserves much better than either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton can offer us. I humbly offer myself as a leader who can give millions of disaffected Americans a conservative choice for President.”

Not sure how much effect this would have for the Dems (many people on the conservative train might have just stayed home) but it might have the effect of further taking votes from the Drumpf.
