The evangelicals have been solidly behind Trump since he proved himself during his administration. But in the 2016 caucuses, they were solidly behind Cruz. At the caucus I attended, I had to listen to those holier-than-thou types badmouthing Trump like they were auditioning for MSNBC.
What do I mean by “Churchianity types”? Put bluntly, Calvinists. Their stronghold is Orange City and their leader is Bob Vander Plaats who fancies himself leader of evangelicals.

It doesn’t matter what Plaats “fancies himself as”. He doesn’t represent the Christian right who support Trump. Don’t paint all Christians with such a broad brush. We are just as divided on issues as the rest of the nation and the world is (not that that is a good thing). And as far as any “holier-than-thou” types, you can see that type anywhere and in any spectrum of politics or religion.
Thanks for the splain.
