Yep. Calling people selfish jerks and going on insult tirades. That’ll do it.
Who are these “evangelicals”?

“Who are these evangelicals?”

Well they’re not Mr. Purist Conservative who have been waiting for Mr. Perfect Candidate for several decades.

The definition of an evangelical is a highly debated topic, even among self-professed evangelicals. I highly doubt that Politico or whoever conducted this poll has any understanding of just how meaningless the term can be.

Paztor Jeffress from Texas ~endorsed trump yesterday. Big time southern Baptist evangelical. He said the issue is winning. He thinks trump will still be standing at the end of all this.

I remember all those polls in the 90's when the Christian Coalition was collapsing and we found out that 30% of "evangelicals" approved of gay marriage or 20% of "evangelicals" were cohabiting or ...

If polling were scientific, then people would not be allowed to specify what they thought they were. They would be classified by what they presented themselves to be.

If a census worker came by my house and asked me 'What is your nation of origin?' and I said 'I feel like I'm from Guatemala' I'm hoping they would just chuckle and write 'U.S.A.' on their form.

Let see
Since Trump attended Billy Graham’s last sermon and is active in Samaratans Purse. Some may be followers of the Graham family

Jerry Falwell Jr spoke highly at Liberty U AND has now endorsed him

There were forty plus evangelical. who prayed with him at Trump Towers

Jeffers from Texas is in his corner

20 plus black pastors greeted and welcomed him to Georgia and prayed with him before the rally there.

There are others but none as great as the unordained one who fathered and then walked away from his son only to return after the son became successful. God forgives all.

Maybe the non-self righteous ones who realize everyone is a sinner.
