Given the comments by T-Rump and Carson recently I was listening to NPR this morning and they interviewed a Muslim who had run for a seat in his state legislature as a Republican. He stated that on both fiscal and social issues the GOP aligned with his positions so it was a natural fit for him.
He didn't prevail but for the sake of this OP I am jumping to the future and proposing a situation where the Conservatives are faced with 2 viable candidates to choose for the nomination to become the next POTUS.
One is a Muslim, born and raised in the heartland who is both a fiscal and social conservative.
The other is an atheist, born and raised in the heartland who is both a fiscal and social conservative.
In all other respects both are equally qualified with the requisite experience to be president. Both have policy positions which match your own.
Which do you choose and why?
Yes, I gave you the none of the above option because most of you wouldn't vote for either and I understand that.
What this OP is trying to determine is just how deep is the animosity against these two groups. If none of you can bring yourself to vote for either candidate then it will establish that no amount of outreach is ever going to close the gap.
Please vote and give your reasons for your choices.

Is this your latest attempt at trying to be clever?
Not in the least.
Out of the half dozen or so extremist rightwingers who have responded not one has even dared to take the poll as I predicted in the OP.
That says volumes about the gaping chasm between where you stand and the rest of the nation stands.
