No, it’s just a strong tendency, as shown by what happened in Iowa *************************
It's a flawed tendency. Voting/supporting someone primarily for their religious affirmation is a mistake, if one is committed to conservative principles.

Just like voting against someone because of their religion, or whether they’re evangelical, etc. It is the right of the voters, however they see fit to exercise it.

There are similar factions that are issue oriented while not fully embracing Conservatism. Are social conservatives any less valid that libertarians?.
Where the fault lies is in expecting the Christians to vote for a conservative who is lacking on their issues.
