"I actually think were McMullin not Mormon, no one in Utah would be paying attention. And I don't think that's the right way to vote."
. . . and if Romney were not Mormon, he'd be running as incumbent this year.
- cookiecaper 10y agoI don't think that's true. It's very difficult to unseat an incumbent and generally only occurs under anomalous conditions. As much as evangelicals may not like the idea of a Mormon candidate (which is why McCain beat Romney in '08, btw), I think they were a lot more comfortable with a Mormon like Romney than a secularist like Trump.
