Sorry, I'm bad about judging how a comment is going to seem. I didn't mean to seem like I was schooling you in evangelicals. I think were in the same area of the country. Our frame of reference is pretty similar, I suspect.

I don't think they will vote FOR Hillary. I think they won't vote at all if they think the GOP fails to respond to their issues.

Imagine Rudy is the GOP candidate. I don't think there a single social issue that he will take the evangelical position on. They won't be jonesing to vote for him.

I think that it's possible or even likely, that Hillary, if running against him, would keep her rhetoric moderate enough that it doesn't piss them off enough to go and vote AGAINST her. I agree that it's unlikely that they will vote FOR her.

If the rhetoric of the candidates is the same on the issues, AND the GOP's position seems to reflect having pushed the evagelicals out, I think they might stay home.
