In his mind, that's how he "got" the Evangelicals: "We've got the NRA, lovely people, and we've got the Evangelicals, the religion, and we've got the Justices (the people who will vote for him because they want to over turn Roe V Wade)." He's so proud of all of this support. It's disgusting.

It's always the same story. They told him they had a problem, and he couldn't believe that they weren't allowed to speak their minds (he obviously knew nothing about the whole exempt status, church/state thing), and after looking into it, he realized he could fix it for them. Now he claims to have their vote. Same with the people he refers to as "the justices." These are the people who probably don't like him, but are going to vote for Trump because they want to overturn Roe V Wade ("they'll have to vote for me whether they like it or not&quot , and finally, he has the NRA "lovely people." He's so fucking proud of being the candidate the NRA has backed at the earliest time in a campaign.

And it drives me nuts the way he vacillates between calling the one group either the evangelicals, the evangelics, or "the religion." WTF?

There were several pastors who used the pulpit to stump for Shrub that suffered zero consequences.
