And I'm not sure why cherry-picking the largest margin matters. The fact is 38% of self-identified white evangelicals supported Trump over the other Republican candidates a month before the primaries were wrapped up and the nomination went to Trump. Clearly the morality and character of the candidate did not matter to this large segment of evangelicals as much as the policies they were hearing.

I have to admit that the 2016 election process significantly lowered my level of respect for conservative Christian groups. I'm sure that dismays you a great deal.
I try to take individuals on a case-by-case basis; but as a group the conservative Christian body has shown it will set aside it's vaunted morality if it achieves their policy ends. In a sense, they are not all that different than Trump - who has made it clear he approves of lying if it achieves his ends, and even boasts of it.
