Evangelical Support for Trump Eroding?

Well, that is in line with the theme of this thread.  Many, or some at least, Evangelicals have begun to question the Trump presidency precisely because it so blatantly seems not only to contradict Christ-based living, but also to positively celebrate venality and the reduction of ethics to "job"s and contracts.

There are theological precedents for looking the other way when the state violates the values advanced in the Sermon on the Mount, but there is a line between church and state that cannot be indefinitely stretched.  (There may be some selectivity in where and one decides the state goes to far. Separating families may be ok, but not abortion.)
