I don't think that's why so many conservative evangelical Republicans are voting for him. I think evangelicals vote for him because he presents himself as the most evangelical. I'm not sure his views on the environment would attract many conservative evangelicals, though I think the wider umbrella of evangelicals (not just conservatives on the religious right) would embrace a more progressive stance on the environment (but that wider net of evangelicals are not all Republicans). By social agenda, do you mean abortion? I suppose that is a draw for conservative evangelical Republicans. But it seems like other types of Republicans (not that I am one... I'd rather not affiliate with any political party) wouldn't be as concerned about abortion as a litmus test issue. Thanks for the comment, Mike.

Those potentially could carry some weight. What do you think? What about his positions on the environment or his social agenda? Those potentially could carry some weight. What do you think?
