That pastor who endorsed Rick Perry with the infamous "he's a genuine follower of Jesus Christ" line (seen as a jab at Mitt and his faith) actually heavily backfired against the Perry camp,and was seen as a major blunder in the 2012 GOP primary. I don't think Mitt and his Mormon faith was ever touched on notably after that in the 2012 election

It is a cult.
That's fine but that has nothing to do with the bad PR the mormon hate brought the GOP primary and was abruptly dropped as a notable concern towards Mitt in the 2012 election. Of course we all have views and stances on different religions, but wanting to make Mitt's Mormonism a major issue in a 2016 run seems like a poor choice. I think it would only get him sympathy and support from moderates (and the more moderate votes you can grab, the better)
