Ahahahaha. Good luck; no one here understands how this election is working either.
Mormons are a Very Weird case, I should append (I very much glossed over this in the post), and one which doesn't translate well to the rest of the States. Mormons are... very culturally conservative, to a degree that I think most Europeans would be completely appalled by, but at the same time also tend to be well educated and less tolerant of not-nice behavior. All of this has to do with the particular dynamics of the Church, which emphasize education, self-reliance, and pure niceness within a framework of strict hierarchy -- argh, maybe I'll have to make that other post after all :) Anyway, it means that Mormons react in a different way in the political landscape than any other American group. This article, written by a Mormon reporter, talks a little more in-depth as to why Mormons in particular don't like Trump. (I've also added it to the post.)
