"What’s the hold-back?"

They're butt-hurt.

And they're evangelicals who believe Trump is not a Godly man.

They were never going to vote in the general election for anyone but Cruz.

It's predictable they will stay home, and has been since 1984.

Self-described evangelicals often went overwhelmingly for Trump. That’s probably not a fair stereotype.

Trump won with evangelicals. He mentioned them in his speech.

Kiss my evangelical ballots! You are as bad as the left— let’s blame the Christians; they will never fight back.

There are a hell of a lot of us who have worked our holy assets off in every campaign since 84 and voted each time. Trump has won many primaries with those same evangelicals you are smearing. Get off your high horse and fight the Democrats rather than allies!

That's a valid point. Are evangelicals more or less rigid in their thinking than the "But he invited Hillary to his wedding!" purists? I don't know the answer.

They can be persuaded, I think. It depends upon their leadership, can THEY be persuaded to think strategically. What effect has living under eight years of occupation had on their vision? I believe there's room for optimism.

A FReeper up the thread likened our current state to being lost in the woods. I think of it as a hundred year war, and that may be the optimist in me speaking. We won't taste total victory in the next four or eight years.

What are the first steps? What are the big guns, the most devastating weapons turned on us? PC and open borders, employed by the Uniparty and the MSM. If Trump manages to turn the tide on those, his presidency will be judged a spectacular success.

He has the skill and the will. I recognized early on that his most determined enemies would be on this side of the aisle (if that term even means anything anymore.) The greatest fury of the GOPee is saved for those who would usurp their power and privilege. That threat comes from the right.
