When evangelical America lent Trump its support, it agreed to ignore his moral flaws and transgressions in order to see policies enacted that it liked, asserts Paul Waldman of The Week. He got 81% of the evangelical vote, more than any Republican ever did. This happened, none withstanding the fact that he is not a religious man, nor a particularly moral one. Trump offered them what they wanted politically and got loyalty for it. Even when allegations surfaced that he had cheated on his third wife with a prostitute, they still excused him. This is not the Christian way. Evangelicals sacrificed their values for legislative gains.
