Über Mormon Mitt Romney is no fan of Republican presidential candidate (I still get a little shiver when I type that) Donald Trump, and it looks like the entire Mormon church will be turning their backs, as well.

That’s what we call a misleading headline but the New York Times reported today that should Mitt Romney, the unsuccessful Republican presidential nominee in 2012, run again in ’16, he won’t pussy-foot around his Mormon faith.
