Get the Mormon nominated and then divide and conquer. Nothing divides Americans better than religion, this will be a cake walk.

Play the christians against their own bigotry and hypocrisy. Leave Willard in the dust.

(33,497 posts)there are lots of things that will defeat Romney--his constantly changing positions whichever way the wind is blowing and his sending thousands of jobs overseas are just two of them. Now, Huntsman is a Mormon too, and the consensus is that he would give Obama the hardest time in a general election, but he cannot get the GOP nomination.

(20,600 posts)Attacking someone's religion would be a big turn off to a lot of people, across the board from independents to Democrats to non-political people. Plus, then we would have to hear endless nonsense once again such as lies that Obama is really a muslim and so on because it is a two way street.

(31,801 posts)People are not dumb to ruses anymore. Romney attacked Gingrich with the SuperPac in Iowa. Everyone knows it is coming from Romney's campaign even though Romney has said "Who me"?
Harry Reid wants to keep his job. If he failed to respond to an attack on the Mormon faith the Mormons in Nevada would send him packing and he knows it.

(17,003 posts)And to win the election, the president will say "Fuck Harry Ried," that's Harry Ried's problem.
