He can't even read scriptures correctly yet he got out the Evangelicals in huge numbers.

It's obvious Trump hasn't been a devout man in a long, long time, if ever... yet you'd think he was John Paul II or Orel Roberts the way he carried Catholics and Protestants.

I know Catholic priests have been giving homilies on Hillary's abortion views, but was it all about that?

Donald fits into Evangelical culture very well.

Also we was prophesied by some Evangelicals, seriously.

When the other candidate's inner circle emails include trying to manipulate the Catholic church, satanism and pedophilia, it is pretty easy to see why Evangelicals broke from Trump!

Both my parents are very Christian and both hated Trump, but still voted for him

My Dad tossed around the idea of GJ, but couldn't due to some of his more liberal views

So in the end, they chose to ignore his obvious shortcomings as a Christian and vote for Trump because he more aligned with their political beliefs

Hard to tell. Religion and logic don't really mix.

America loathes Hillary Clinton. This was by far the biggest issue in 2016.

Simple, he was a better choice than Hillary Clinton (which is not really saying alot).

There was a move toward Donald with the Latinos right when the spirit cooking and pedo stuff broke. It shows that break in the LA Times poll.

Two things.

1. Promised conservative Supreme Court nominees

2. Promised removal of 501c3 restrictions from churches

Those make up maybe the strongest evangelical-friendly platform I've ever seen from a presidential candidate, honestly.

Many in this country are republicans first, Christians second and try to mold their Christianity around their politics instead of the other way around.

when he got her on the record during the 3rd debate on the SCOTUS question about partial birth abortion... game changer with evangelicals

remember... that was the very 1st question of that debate

Probably because Hillary Clinton is one of like 6 people on earth that believes late term abortions are ok in under any circumstances.
