The Mormans in Nevada

[Panda Express]

Mormans were 25% of the GOP electorate in Nevada 2012. That's quite significant. They went 88% for Romney. This time around there are no Mormans to hog all of the votes. So who gets them? Trump doesn't seem to poll very well with the Mormans. One might think Rubio due to his Morman past but he seems to be going down. Mormans are notoriously low energy so maybe there is an opportunity for Jeb!?

I think the Church is officially opposed to Trump.

It's also worth noting that Mormons might not comprise one-quarter of the election in this primary, though I imagine the drop-off wouldn't be all that much. There was probably some "hometown pride" in 2012 that boosted levels of turnout. I'd surmise that there might be two very distinct types of Mormons in terms of voters: one group would be the type to vote in every single election no matter what (the "rule"), and the other group would be the type that actually shies away from politics (the "exception"). I know Mormons don't shun politics in the same way as Jehovah's Witnesses do, but I guess I'm imagining a similar dynamic for the latter group.
