Evangelicals aren't turned off by Trump's first term -- they're delighted by it [View all]

Three years ago, Rickey Halbert was torn about whether to vote for Donald Trump.

On the one hand, he’d read about Trump’s extramarital affairs and the women who alleged he had sexually assaulted them. Halbert, a Defense Department employee, didn’t think the candidate matched his moral compass.

Then again, he believed Trump would reduce the number of abortions in the country.

In the end, he said, that convinced him to vote for Trump, like most of his fellow evangelicals.
