... both Biden AND Clinton would've won the "white vote" too, if NONE of the "white evangelicals" had voted.

Unfortunately, they did vote... and the CNN exit polls also indicated that they're very motivated voters. Their percentage of all voters has been significantly higher than their percentage among the general population.

Evangelicals are especially dangerous among Christians, in my opinion, because their focus is often directed OUTWARD instead of inward at their own faults. The possible explanation is that they're being driven to CONVERT others! How are you going to focus on converting others to your religion if most of your time is devoted to introspection and self-improvement? Nope, what's important to evangelism is to convert OUTSIDERS... and that necessitates looking outward and judging others.
