Destroyed the Christian Coalition? If he wins, he's going to hand them the Supreme Court for decades. Get ready for repeal of Roe vs. Wade, school-lead prayer in every classroom and the Ten Commandments in every courtroom.
Hardly, dirty little secret, most -christians- don't have an interest in repealing roe v wade....similarly, most christians are as secular as you or I. The supreme court has been following the publics lead for some time. The one we currently have didn't valiantly strike out to enfranchise the lgbt community, of late..for example...they put it off until it could no longer be avoided on the hopes that they would never have to sully their robed magnificences. They didn't do shit until the weight of the swell was too much for them to ignore. Sure, the usual suspects threw down their protest opinions, but the outcome was a lock.
That's just a shared fantasy of trump and his lunatic base. What he thinks he needs to -tell- the loudest idios in the village to score their vote. Hey, he;s right about them..it;s just that they;re not right about him, us, or their fellow christians.
(more fun facts, the dems hav a "christian base" too..the black christian base, overwhelmingly dem voters. The christians, as a whole, not overwhelmingly repubs in any case, in some areas they are, but on th balance of the nation it;s pretty well split down the middle, no majority is statistically significant by reference to religion...even by the relatively loose standards of social science. Shouldn't surprise anyone, christians agree with each other on precious little...and the weight of demographics regarding the repub/dem split and majority religious status in this country leaves little room for there to -be- some overidingly christian position on abortion, school prayer, or anything else. We're a largely christian, particularly with respect to voters, nation that -does not- agree. The "christan base" is not now, nor has it ever been a monolithic voting bloc - that notion was political sleight of hand that stuck.)
