Trump Courts Evangelical Voters

Donald Trump called on Christians to “band together” and “unify” at an address to Liberty University students, Politico reports.

Said Trump: “Christianity, it’s under siege. We don’t band together. Other religions, frankly, they’re banding together… we have to unify.”

New York Times: “In dozens of interviews with evangelical voters in 16 states, from every region of the country outside the Northeast, those supporting Mr. Trump sounded a familiar refrain: that his heart was in the right place, that his intentions for the country were pure, that he alone was capable of delivering to a troubled country salvation in the here-and-now.”
