The days of Huckabee, Santorum, Bachmann are over. The power of Evangelicals is declining. They are on the road to political irrelevance when suddenly...

Suddenly a philandering, lying, impious sinner rises to power. He's not at all like the Evangelicals, but they share some common goals.

So what do the Evangelicals do? They try to profit off him and his power by declaring him one of their own.

The Evangelicals co-opted Trump for their own glory and power.

The Evangelicals need Trump. If they admit that Trump is the opposite of a good Christian and their natural enemy, then they cut the last threads that bind them to political power.
