(2,049 posts)This sums up the dilemma of the evangelical Christian single issue voter in the Age of Trump in a nutshell. All GOP politicians, no matter how immoral and corrupt, know they can get the evangelical vote if they promise to do all they can to ban abortion, which starts, I suppose, by appointing all the right judges to federal courts. You can violate all the Ten Commandments - every single one of them, and make a total mockery of supposed Christian family values, if you promise to do all you can to ban abortion. Trump has made that promise - even though he is really, in his heart of hearts, a liberal, pro-choice guy, and - who knows? could well have had at least one hush-hush abortion in his past - but he really NEEDS the evangelical vote to even get within stealing distance of the presidency - with Russian help, of course. Both have sold their souls and compromised on everything else to get what they want.
