I live in this area and it is probably accurate. Columbus is a liberal hell hole and votes Democrat every time. The other areas go strong Republican. Quite a few Libertarian’s in the area that normally vote for a conservative Republican if available. Not sure about the evangelical vote as my Church is conservative Independent Baptist but I have a large group of people who swear they will not vote for Donald Trump because of his lifestyle.
I was not a Trump supporter, decided to hold my nose after he won the primary and would vote for him, fast turning rabid supporter as I see more and more of the mainstream Republican’s show their true colors. Trying to convince my Church family that even if Trump is not a strong Christian or even if not a good man that God used a lot of very bad people mightily in the Bible and if he can break the back of the ruling big government traitors then it is at least a start. If he turns out to be another bust then just another plank in the path we are headed and clearly documented in the Bible.
Hillary must be stopped at all costs.
I concur. IMHO, the Republican/Democrat lines blur as soon as you hit Hwy 5 in Douglasville on Eastbound 20, then you’re looking at straight up Democrat voters by the time you hit South Fulton.
For whom do these folks plan to vote?
As for the wrong life-style, the Clintons' corruption and sexual harassment/allegations of rape are the worst of any candidate.
At this stage, not supporting Trump is exactly what Hillary hopes will happen among the GOP/Conservatives.
Thank you for your post.
I am also an independent evangelical Baptist and have run into exactly what you have. I’ve tried to make the same points to my church that you stated without much success. My congregation is also politically very ignorant and that inhibits the argument.

Mike please tell your church “family” that DJT was born, baptized and raised in the Presbyterian Church (the mother of the Baptists). He went through Confirmation, which is an indepth study of the Bible. And believe me any study put together by Presbyterians is tough. I know. AND DJT grew up in Norman Vincent Peal’s church in N.Y. Remember him? Mr. “Power of Positive Thinking” himself. Notice how well Trump uses what he learned there.
When reading Trump’s books I caught some instances where he commented that he “could have” done something in a different way, “but it would not be the moral thing to do.” Reading his books is what turned me and convinced me that he is the real deal. His “lifestyle” has not been much different from the majority of Americans. We have all fallen short of what we should be. Thank God for His forgiveness.
