Perhaps that is why the evangelical Trump buy in is not 100%. It slides between 70 and 80%. Some have said they stand on principle and do not back Trump because of his behavior--just not in substantial numbers.
Many black evangelicals in Alabama might also vote for Trump, though, or in higher numbers than their northern/Western group members.
You have introduced a material consideration here. Perhaps in the future I should say "a super majority of White Evangelicals back Trump no matter what" until I have sorted out the demographics.
