Is The Religious Right Abandoning the Republican Party?

[GoLeft TV]

According to the latest reports, the Evangelical wing of the Republican party is actually having quite a bit of trouble right now trying to identify with the GOP. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. And yet a recent article says 4/5 of White Evangelicals will vote for him

Which is slightly better than Romney

So unfortunately, it seems they are not.

3. They're abandoning Trump

and the party would love to abandon them but can't afford to lose such a huge voting bloc.

The problem is that the religious nutters, er, Evangelicals have nowhere else to go. Judge Roy Moore has disappointed me and them sorely by not following up the hoopla over his multi ton granite monument to religious arrogance and violation of the establishment clause by starting the Bible Party. I really thought he'd come through for us and give all the god addled a place to go besides either of the main political parties.

We'd have a very different country if he had. The vote in 2004 would have been split and we'd have had President Kerry, possibly followed by President Obama.

He's in legal trouble again, suspended from the Alabama Supreme Court and awaiting trial. Maybe if his law license isn't suspendd this time but his career on the bench is, he'll do us all a favor and start that party.

4. The Church should abandon them as the GOP is making them look bad,

And that takes a lot of doing!

6. I wonder if they'll come back now that the GOP platform puts the bible front and center...

...and is so very anti-LGBT. Republicans are certainly doing all they can to woo them.

7. Nah, their just abandoning reality and rational thought.
