| Thank Heaven Only One is Mormon! |
Commentary by Linda Hollingsworth
Politics is back, and even though the presidential
election is not for another year and a half, I believe that for the next 18
months I will thank God every day that Donald Trump isn’t a Mormon.
With Trump’s recent campaign announcement speech came all
of the reminders about the last election. And I’ll just admit it—it was
stressful for me having a Mormon run for president. We all know that not all of
the attention that the church got from Romney’s campaign was positive. That said,
at least Romney is not a stark raving idiot who believed he could get Mexico to
build some huge border wall!
Romney’s campaign created some difficult conversations
before the last election. I actually had a 30 minute conversation about if
Mormons had strict smiling and hair standards. Thanks Romney. But at least Romney
didn’t sport that pathetic comb over or whatever else Trump has on his
lopsided skull!
I was glad when the last election was over—it was
fatiguing. I’m sure that this next election will be tiresome, but one huge
blessing is the guy who bragged about his net worth and flippantly claimed he
could beat both China and ISIS isn’t a Mormon. I know that the “gospel net
catches all kinds,” but I’m glad it has never caught him!
