So what are you saying? Let's ban all Mormons from public office because they don't believe in the Trinity? Sheesh, this is really starting to get under my skin. I wouldn't EVER vote for a Muslim because I know what their theology is, the destruction of all non believers of their faith, but a Mormon? Come on.
Mormonism is a false religion. Besides rejecting the Trinity they reject other true doctrines of the Christian faith.
This is what the LDS teach about the Bible:
24 And the angel of the Lord said unto me: Thou hast beheld that the book proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew; and when it proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew it contained the fulness of the gospel of the Lord, of whom the twelve apostles bear record; and they bear record according to the truth which is in the Lamb of God.
25 Wherefore, these things go forth from the Jews in purity unto the Gentiles, according to the truth which is in God.
26 And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, from the Jews unto the Gentiles, thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church, which is most abominable above all other churches; for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away.
27 And all this have they done that they might pervert the right ways of the Lord, that they might blind the eyes and harden the hearts of the children of men.
28 Wherefore, thou seest that after the book hath gone forth through the hands of the great and abominable church, that there are many plain and precious things taken away from the book, which is the book of the Lamb of God.
29 And after these plain and precious things were taken away it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles; and after it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles, yea, even across the many waters which thou hast seen with the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity, thou seest
because of the many plain and precious things which have been taken out of the book[Bible], which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men, according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of Godbecause of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb, an exceedingly great many do stumble, yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them.
Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 13: 24-29
The truths of the Atonement remain hidden from a society that has been cleverly persuaded that the [LDS]Church knows leastwhen in fact it knows mostabout Jesus Christs role as our Savior. The adversary has been engaged in one of historys greatest cover-ups.

LDS Opinion of other churches:
To say that Satan sits in the place of God in Christianity after the time of the Apostles is not to say that all that is in it is satanic. Indeed, Latter-day Saints should rejoiceas the heavens undoubtedly doat the great works of righteousness and faith, and the leavening influence on the world, of those whose lives are touched in any degree by Him whose gospel the Saints enjoy in its fulness.
Still, the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16) is absent from all but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which the Lord himself has proclaimed to be the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth (D&C 1:30). Satans goal of hindering many of Gods children from returning to their Fathers glory is thus realized. How appropriate, therefore, is Pauls description of him sitting in the place of God in the church of the apostasía.

Joseph Smith taught:
Many men say there is one God; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are only one God. I say that is a strange God anyhowthree in one, and one in three! It is a curious organization anyhow. All are to be crammed into one God, according to sectarianism. It would make the biggest God in all the world. He would be a wonderfully big Godhe would be a giant or a monster.
(Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 372; History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 476)
I'm sorry that I can't give you a more lengthy explanataion, but I believe that endorsing a Mormon as leader of this country would be displeasing to God.
