I agree with you. There are those, however, who think that any positive exposure to Mormonism, as would evidently be the case were there to be a Mormon president, would spread knowledge of Mormonism far and wide; that many more people would be “duped” into believing it and therefore lose their souls. If the American President, goes their reasoning, is a Mormon, then the effect is to bring Mormonism into the mainstream of world religion. They do not enjoy this prospect.

As an example of what I’ve described to you, I invite you to review post #1156.

Yup - that's almost it!

We are CHRISTIANS first, and Conservative AMERICANS second.
