Both of you aren't quite right.
Evangelicals can be liberals. I know several. Christians can be conservative or liberal.
Christian Right are NOT liberal, and not all of them are Evangelicals.
Evangelical simply means you spread the word of God. That word is misused all the time to mean conservative Christians, but it does not mean that.
I started this using the term evangelicals for a reason.
There are over 100 million christians in the US.
It is the majority belief.
Evangelicals are a minority and they judge others based on their morality.
They lean way right but can't protest someone like Obama even if they don't vote for him.
Sure, they can protest Bill Clinton. That makes sense.
But why do they back Trump?
From a link provided for Rigged to read.
[/quote]Christian conservatives say Mr. Trump has also more than honored his end of the bargain that brought reluctant members of their ranks along during his presidential campaign. He has begun the process of moving the American Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, won the confirmation of numerous judges and a Supreme Court Justice who seem likely to advance their anti-abortion cause, moved against transgender protections throughout the government, increased the ability of churches to organize politically and personally supported the March for Life.
“I don’t know of anyone who has worked the evangelical community more effectively than Donald Trump,” said Ralph Reed, the chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition.[/quote]
