15. Mitt serves god, as he imagines, and if sucking up to

Trump and the Kochs on his knees is what he thinks will advance him in service of god, he'll do it. He lied almost as often and just as blatantly as Trump while he was campaigning, you know.

He's not a terribly intelligent or insightful man, almost devoid of intellectual curiosity like so many religious extremists. Commitment to his fundamentalist religion, including creating god's kingdom run out of Independence, Missouri, is his passion. And that's potentially just as huge a problem for us as Paul Ryan-type libertarian zealotry, or more since the religious right will work with him and his plutocrat allies in the Koch alliance.
