Huck is stuck with a self-identified group. I would never vote for a preacher for president, or a priest, or a rabbi or an imam.

Romney is a Bishop. Would you vote for him?

As I understand it from my Mormon relatives, there are many, many bishops. Many many many. It doesn't mean the same thing as a Catholic or Episcopal bishop who leads the larger church. More like a well-respected upstanding churchgoer who's earned some awards for charity work or something like that.

“Romney is a Bishop. Would you vote for him?”

Yes. He is not running as a Mormon. He happens to be a Mormon running running for president. He does play identity politics and a lot of evangelicals do. I would actually LIKE to see a Mormon elected. I PREFER it unless they are saying vote for me I am a Mormon.

And don’t go socratic on my. It is very jerky.

Huck is running “”as an evangelical” and I find it offensive.

God is in the Declaration of Independence, etc. Not the evangelical Jesus and not the Catholic jesus either. Not the Trinity.
