What if Johnson and Trump are neck and neck for the lead in Idaho?
That's a pretty unlikely hypothetical, but if it came to that I could certainly strategically vote for Johnson.
The reason I threw it out is because my understanding is that Mormons are strongly opposed to both Trump and Clinton and that Johnson would be a "none of the above" vote and that the none-Mormon population is libertarian leaning. I don't think it's that likely.
There's not as many Mormons here (~20%) as in Utah--Idaho's actually among the most religiously diverse states if you break down all the Christian denominations. And much to my displeasure, there's just not enough Democrats here yet. The GOP is pretty much machine-like statewide at this point, and while Trump may not be as popular as an establishment GOP candidate, I doubt it's enough to make any real difference here.
