“Steve Deace, who endorsed Cruz, said on his show last night that Trump will have trouble motivating the evangelicals because of his lack of authenticity on their issues.”
Agreed, but what if Trump selects a running mate, who he has not badmouthed, and who has credibility with the evangelicals........Huckabee. Just thinking. Politics makes for strange bedfellows.
Deace discusses that at the end of his article. Ultimately I think the only conclusion is that a V.P. just doesn’t sway people much. They vote for or against the top of the ticket.
