I have no idea why they wouldn't want Pence instead of Trump unless they actually like the racist, autocratic, sexist and overall adversarial and confrontational tone added on top of the purported goals of Christian/Conservative beliefs.

Trump is more popular among the base than Pence. They are afraid to lose their seats. That's what it all boils down to.
