. . . of when he's being persecuted." Only true for Willard, at least according to munchybotaz on the Recovery From Mormonism board.

Will Mitt Romney's training as a Mormon help him in the upcoming debates--and, if so, how? (Keep it churchy, folks) . . .
If you ask me, I think Romney can clinch a debate win if he simply shouts out, "Now is the great day of my power!"

I'm not the first one to bring this up -
But how can Romney swear to serve our country as president when he has already sworn in the temple to build up the Mormon kingdom?
This would be a crazy situation because of the secret temple oaths and the cult's demands for OBEDIENCE to morg leaders.

No. Mormons lie too much to be able to stay consistent.

Yes
Being Mormon, MITT™ has the ability to hear Satan telling his opponent what to say and a finely tuned sense of when he's being persecuted (i.e., most of the time). These attributes will help him look ridiculous.
And, because his belief in his latter-day-born American Mormon eliteness is so deeply ingrained, he'll appear confident while doing it.

It would only help if everything he says is scripted and he doesn't have to think on his feet.

No!
As one who has debated with mormon missionaries, I can tell you that going off script can shut down their discussions fairly easily.
If mittens does well, it will be thanks to his Ivy League education with no thanks to the morg.

Mitt has that special Apostle ability to 'know' that if it comes out of his own mouth it is true.
It starts young. You give your testimony with mom whispering in your ear. You are rewarded for saying what she said. You did it. You spoke the truth!
You stand for the first time as a youth and fervently bear the testimony that you have been taught. You believe that you believe it. You see that everyone is thrilled that you know the truth.
You go on your mission and you believe what you are saying. Not because it makes sense. Not because it has fact. You believe it because you are a member of the one true church and it is coming out of your mouth.
That is where I was up until close to the end.
Now consider Mitt in that same circumstance. Add to that the rich golden boy status that was his. Handsome son of the rich and the elite.
Anyone listening to him wanted to be part of that. Whatever he did, whatever he said, people wanted some. It didn't have to have substance. It just had to come out of his mouth. He came to believe his own publicity, the brainwashing was complete. He has achieved the highest degree of glory, he is God' elite.
That surety is attractive in an apostle with a rapt mormon audience. That surety was attractive for Mitt with a rapt mormon audience. It has given him the confidence to look presidential, but has it given him anything besides the look?
In the debate, the audience will not be rapt. They will be looking for fact. They will be looking for substance. Even the republicans are not rapt anymore.
This time when he speaks he may be the only person in the hall who believes what comes out of his mouth.

I agree, the I know this is true, even if it's only true somewhere in that imaginary universe that they've made up. It's a powerful statement, even if it premises a lie.
I can just hear him. 'I know Heavenly Father has called me as a bishop, stake president and now president to raise up a nation to him.' 'I know everything I've ever done or said has prepared me for this calling as president of the united states', 'I know I will win this election because Joseph Smith said so.'
Scary thing is I know he thinks all that is reality
I also understand that many sister Mormons are fasting for Mitt, to help him combat and prevail over President Obama's many lies.
