    Why do evangelicals support this very un-Christian Pres? Christian virtue was trumped by political muscle.https://shar.es/1FxJ1L

        I'm surprised that there hasn't been a stronger push for a Democrat - Christian alliance. Flip 5% of evangelicals and you win 2018 and 2020.

        Of course abortion is the big wedge issue, but there's got to be some evangelicals who feel uncomfortable with Trump & recent GOP trends.

        Highly doubtful from what I've seen. Tend to be one of the bigger groups going along eagerly with Trumpism. Of the small % not going along,

        ... many of them defer to certain evangelical leaders/figureheads who have likewise thrown support behind Trump.

        Agree it might not work. But we don't really know what could happen if Dem's explicitly co-opt a unified neo- family values framework...

        ... that is pro-decency, pro-civility, anti- Fox executive, anti-groping, and - maybe - more explicity pro-Christian.

        I think it's politically low-risk, with potential high upside.

        Yeah, I can't argue with that. It would be a tremendous coup if it happened.

        Because, truth be told, they are as mean and heartless as he is. They could prove otherwise, but they won't.

        Evangelicals are basically racist, sexist, uneducated scumballs using the Bible to justify their hatred and ignorance. 😭

        Trump promised we could stay Christians; Hillary said "long standing cultural practices have to change."
