@cjane87 true. I think at certain times over past several decades, they would have been included in a loosely defined “religious right,” and at other times would have been excluded. There’s a case to be made their place in that coalition is much less certain now than it was 10 years ago — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

@cjane87 But “the religious right” has always been a political coalition, not a theological one, right? (I do think Mormons’ place in that coalition is interesting/fraught for a lot of reasons, and something I’ll probably write about at some point.) — PolitiTweet.org

To mark the anniversary of Trump's campaign kickoff, I went on CNN to reflect on what I got wrong (and what I didn't) about the president-to-be in my 2014 profile of him https://t.co/dtSQuwXe4O — PolitiTweet.org

According to people close to Huntsman, he told the Trump administration he would commit to staying in Russia for two years. He hits the two-year mark this fall. https://t.co/8IdqiZetPp — PolitiTweet.org
