What would have been the effect on US history if Mike Dukakis had slugged that question about Willie Horton assaulting his wife out of the park instead of whiffing it in 1988 during that debate. In terms of Christianity, I mean. Something like "my opponent claims to be the Christian candidate, but there's some difficult stuff in that New Testament. Jesus would want me to forgive that person, that much I'm sure of." A huge opportunity to redirect the debate gone to waste.
