Jonah encounters the evangelical base; and it thinks like this:
Speaking for myself, there is no policy that I think a Mormon would pursue that I find objectionable. I will not vote for a Mormon because they claim to be Christian, when they are not Christians. Electing, or even nominating, a Mormon continues to send the message to Americans that Mormons are fine and dandy, Christians like everyone else.
With the usual caveat, of course:
I don't think I'm a bigot.
Who ever does?
