Is the country ready for a Mormon president?
That’s an odd question. What they’re asking is whether or not the country is ready for someone who holds beliefs that sound bizarre when you say them out loud. But, of course, every national politician at least professes belief in the fantastic. Why should I prefer someone with one fantastic worldview over another?
I’m not ready for a Methodist or a Catholic president, to tell you the truth, but they keep getting elected anyway.
Ready? I didn’t even know being ready was an option. Can we get a do over? I was *so* not ready for GWB.
