Why Christians Overwhelmingly Backed Trump
Despite predictions to the contrary, Trump won among conservative women and evangelicals. Abortion may have been a major factor.
.. After the release of a video in which President-elect Donald Trump said he felt he could grab women’s genitals with impunity, many thought for sure two of his supporter contingents would abandon him: conservative women and Christians.
Instead, last night, both stuck by him.
.. And despite the vulgar language Trump was heard using in the Access Hollywood tape, which many social conservatives found off-putting, 81 percent of white evangelical Christians still voted for Trump, as did the majority of people who attend religious services once a week or more. (Catholics were slightly more divided than born-again protestants, but 60 percent still went for Trump.)
