'You're an authoritarian': Independent presidential candidate blasts Trump in tweetstorm
Donald Trump isn't the only presidential candidate who can go on a Twitter rant.
Independent candidate Evan McMullin -- who has a shot to win Utah this election -- took a page out of Trump's notebook after the Republican presidential nominee called him the "puppet of a loser" on Fox News.
Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, told Fox that "nobody ever heard of" McMullin.

McMullin, a conservative candidate and former CIA officer, was a political unknown until he launched an essentially anti-Trump bid for president in August. He's since spent his time campaigning in Utah, where he's built a significant following.
McMullin is projected to take around 28 percent of the vote in Utah, according to 538. Trump is currently projected at around 36 percent, while Clinton is just behind McMullin.
If McMullin pulls off the upset, he'll become the first independent presidential candidate to win electoral college votes in almost 50 years.
