The Texas woman who is blowing up the GOP

Mindy Finn, independent candidate for vice president, is from Kingwood.

WASHINGTON — Not so long ago, a legion of Texans were in contention to wind up on a presidential ticket this fall. None made it. And then, out of nowhere a few weeks ago, a woman with Texas roots burst onto the national scene as an independent candidate for vice president.

Her name is Mindy Finn, and she is a native of Kingwood, Texas. Up until her launch as a candidate only a month ago, she was a nationally unknown political consultant in Washington.

But amid the chaos and disgust of the 2016 presidential campaign, there is a real chance she could be the first non-major party vice presidential candidate in a generation to win electoral votes come next Tuesday.

On Oct. 6, she joined the presidential ticket of a fellow Republican, Evan McMullin, a renegade who left the party as part of the "Never Trump" movement.

He's just the logical conclusion, not the exception. I want the whole party to die.

And any female who could be even an old-style Repug has serious issues.
