TRUMP PLAYS NICE FOR THE EVANGELICALS - “Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made a pointed but subdued appeal Friday to religious conservatives, a group he has struggled to win over in the past. Trump pledged during an address to the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s annual Road to Majority conference to ‘restore faith to its proper mantle’ in U.S. society. ‘I’m with you 100 percent.’ Trump told the crowd gathered at the Omni Shoreham hotel and convention center in Washington, D.C. ‘We will respect and defend Christian Americans ‘ He added that he would work hard to advance ‘our shared values.’ Trump told the mostly evangelical attendees that he would pursue a conservative agenda if elected. The businessman expressed his opposition to abortion, support for Israel and his intention to nominate conservative judges to federal courts, as he generally stuck to themes familiar to the GOP’s religious base. ‘Marriage and family as building block of happiness and success,’ he said.”
