His acceptance of all people for who they are would push the Christian Coalition to the Constitution Party.

He would quicky be ruined in the Grand Old Party when pictures of him in berkenstocks, hanging out with his best friends who include prostitutes and tax collectors are played incessantly in early primary states.

I'm sorry, but Christ would also not make it on the Democratic Ticket either.

Insist on raising taxes??

Matt 22:19-21

They brought him a denarius and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"

"Caesar's," they replied.

Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
Jesus was apolitical, if anything, focusing on the actions of the individual, not governments or institutions.
