Not many of these creatures exist but their dynamics would be interesting.
Well-educated Mormon sophisticates, especially in academia. There are thousands of those people in and around Provo, metro SLC, and Rexburg. The BYU precincts in Provo and Rexburg* show dramatic swings to Obama in 2008 (granted, we're talking about 15% of the vote vice 3% or whatever for Kerry in Rexburg!), followed by equally dramatic swings to Romney in 2012 and McMullin in 2016. iirc McMullin actually won a majority of voters in some of the core BYU precincts! His top two counties, at 30% each, are Provo's Utah County and Rexburg's Madison County.
Here's a real challenge: describe a Schmitz '72/McMullin '16 voter! (Hint: it's an old Mormon in Utah or Idaho)
* I don't know much about it, but I would assume the BYU-Hawaii precincts show similar trends?
It's possible that they could've been excited by Obama's candidacy, but then became disappointed in him.
