    Evangelical Christians Carried Trump to Victory. What Nonbelievers Assume About Them Is Often Wrong.

    There’s no doubt that President-elect Donald Trump’s victories at the polls are fueled by a stalwart base of support from evangelical Christians. But what many non-Trump voters don’t realize is that American evangelicals don’t fit the stereotypes projected or assumed by many non-evangelicals.

    Over the course of two presidential campaigns, Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, seemed to sell out to the Democratic Party to capture the party’s nomination.
