You misunderstand. Cruz’ appeal to evangelicals in Iowa was almost exclusively to white evangelicals. My expectation is that Cruz will draw less support where many evangelicals are black.

You misunderstand. You were trying say that there is some valid reason to break black evangelicals out from the overall black vote. There isn't. The black vote goes 90%+ for Dims and it has since the 1960s. There is currently no reason to think of sub-categories of the black vote, evangelical or any other category.

A lot of evangelicals, especially in South Carolina, are black and do support Democrat candidates.

Your above statement is pointless. That is what I have been addressing. Everyone knows when the evangelical vote is discussed that it means white evangelicals and does not include black evangelicals, who are included in the overall black vote for political discussion.
