He thinks evangelicals are the key to his election because they supported Bush 2. So he has always pandered to them.

because 81% of white Evangelical Christian voters cast their ballots for Trump in 2016.

evangelicals are gullible. If one of the most immoral men on the planet can convince them he's god's emissary on earth, then it's pretty much a given that they're gullible as all hell.

They’ll explain this away as “fake news” just like they have everything else.

They are gullible, but more than that, they’re morons.

I am a believer but not a crazy Evangelical.

A while back, I read that Cohen used to secretly record his phone conversations. He must have some doozys in his possession. I wonder if he'll start releasing them before the election, just like Mary Trump has done...

Of course, a few fundies knew it too, but were purely transactional about the situation, so long as they got their anti-abortion, anti-LGBT, forget-separation-of-church-and-state judges in the deal.

Then, of course, plenty were totally hoodwinked, demonstrating breathtaking hypocrisy and cluelessness.

...specifically to put Pence into the presidency.

That so many Christian right-wingers became devoted to Trump himself, even given that I already judged many to be enormous hypocrites, genuinely surprised me.

Trump seems to have managed to insulate himself from paying the consequences for disrespecting his followers. Howard Stern already stated that Trump despises them. They probably think they deserve his disrespect-- pathological masochism.

That shouldn't be too difficult for someone (a person who wants him to screw up)to arrange. There must be several who secretly hate him.

So for some reason, such as too disruptive to political society, charges against Trump didn't stick, impeachment or otherwise.

But now, the heavy cannon fodder, which has been held for strategic deployment, is being released.

We were told all along, elections are the way to get rid of him.

Hoping what appears to me to be the case, is the case.
