They skewered candidates on their personal 'immoralities' before, but suddenly with Trump everything is totally fine. It was something that politicians had to care about for the last half century because it was always something that could get used against them.
The evangelical voting block generally speaking votes for the candidate they see as more "pro-life" when it comes to abortion. For them, that issue is the most important, because they see abortion as government sanctioned murder. If you believe that the government supported the murder of your fellow citizens, you'd vote for the candidate saying loud and clearly "I oppose that" too.
