...“‘I know hardly anyone, let alone any evangelical Christian[s], who voted for Trump.’”

If Mark Galli knows anyone who voted for Hillary, he is running with the wrong crowd.
As flawed as President Trump may be, he is the best friend Christians have had in public office than anyone I can remember. Pro-Life, and supporter of oppressed Christians abroad.
Viva Trump!

I would imagine Mark Galli came out of the leftist remaking of the mainline Protestant churches that coincided with seminarians getting a ticket out of the draft during the Vietnam War. They got a draft deferment and often had no particular use for Christianity other than as a vehicle for their own pursuits. Having kept their tails out of the military, and otherwise not having envisioned a pastoral career, they nonetheless had to work in the ministry for awhile and found: 1) the ministry had become a far more lucrative job than it used to be, particularly due to endowments for local churches left by dead wealthy parishoners; 2) if you’re really not into the theology or helping people spiritually, its not a particularly hard or taxing job; and 3) you can spout all sort of leftist political SJW crap that used to be verboten from the pulpit. This all resulted in a mass exodus from the mainline Protestant churches and a “pulpit” for leftist draft dodgers. I can remember one, a few years ago, proclaiming that “Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, basically they’re all the same”. Well, they are not the same; they may have certain common ethical and moral tenets but the theology and belief systems are dramatically different.
