The election is already conceded to clinton. And of course this guy running absolutely assures her victory. He knows he can't win. He is running for another reason entirely. The Republican establishment is running this guy as a last ditch effort to bring enough republican voters to the polls to allow them to hang on to their House and Senate seats.. They are scared shitless of losing their seats if too many republican voters, knowing that the election is lost and not wanting to vote for either Hilary or Trump, should decide to stay home. Even though he has to run as an "independent" all the republicans, by the time of the election, will know he is the republican establishment candidate. This may be a clever strategy to salvage something from the election. We'll see. If you start seeing expensive ads in his favor, that will be the tip off that I am right. He is a what you could call a throwaway candidate that is there for a special purpose. The RNC money that would have gone to the trump campaign will probably get laundered or simply redirected to support McMullin's campaign. Trump will be livid when he figures out what the RNC and republican establishment is doing to him. Even though Trump is a despicable person, I wouldn't blame him for being thoroughly pissed. On the other hand he has been such a jackass can you blame mainstream republicans for not supporting him.
