(With Particular Reference To Utah) “Hillary Clinton Is No Champion Of Religious Freedom”

Dürer's "Praying Hands" — Contrary to common rumor, Humphrey Bogart was NOT the model for the famous Gerber baby. Likewise, neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump posed for Albrecht Dürer’s 1508 sketch of “Praying Hands.” (Wikimedia Commons public domain

One of the many reasons why, despite my disgust at Mr. Donald Trump, I’ll never, ever, vote for Hillary Clinton:

It would be really nice if there were a Republican in the presidential race this year.

“Ex-GOP lawmakers, party staffers urge Priebus to cut off Trump funding”

It would be especially nice if that Republican had at least some sympathy for religion and religious believers. Consider Mr. Donald Trump’s real attitude toward Mormons, as hinted at in this article:

“Does Donald Trump have a Utah problem? Yes — and he says that it’s ‘tremendous'”

Which is why it’s understandable that, as this New York Times article observes,

“Mormons’ Distaste for Donald Trump Puts Utah Up for Grabs”

But he’s managed to garner considerable support from Evangelical Protestants — more than Mitt Romney did.

And that, I suspect, is at least partly because, while Governor Romney isn’t a real Christian, Mr. Trump is a Presbyterian!

Sort of:

“Trump is conning believers about his faith, author says”
