You are welcome to your interpretation, of course.

Since you were saying the Mormons may not be able to handle the stuff that is going to be thrown at them in the campaign, let me remind you of something. About half of all Mormon males go on two year missions. During that two years they are constantly barraged by this kind of material. Since this 50% of the males is the backbone of any ward (congregation), there will many in every congregation who will be experienced with such materials.

It is not the Mormons who are going to be freaked out by such a barrage. It is some of the religious right or the conservatives who will freaked out if the nominee is a Mormon. They will be embarrassed to be associated with a Mormon. They will half believe what they are hearing and won’t know what to do with the information. Jumping from bashing Mormons to defending one as the nominee will be just too much of a strain.
