Well that was one heck of a nomination process for the Republican Party. Never in my life time have I see anything like it — given that’s a relatively short lifetime, but who’s counting?

And now that we’re headed towards the big November election, we wanted to get a better sense of what parts of Missouri would be the most likely to back Donald Trump.

Specifically, which cities have the highest number of conservative voters in the Show Me State?

If you’re wondering, St. Louis is the most liberal city in Missouri of all those we measured.
