Evangelical voters like Donald Trump because he hates the same people they do

"That's Perkins explaining why evangelicals who support Trump instead of his own preferred immigrant-bashing hatemonger Ted Cruz are wrong. It may also have something to do with Donald Trump's insufficient hatred of The Gays, a hatred which is Perkins' sole reason for existing on this earth. But he's not wrong. Evangelicals that are flocking to Trump are doing so for the same reasons other Republicans are. They don't like immigrants, they're mortified that the sitting president is a black man and they are absolutely beside themselves with panic at the thought there are Muslims among us, and Donald Trump is the shouty, red-faced man who promises flat-out that he'll be getting rid of people like that. No muttering about checks and balances or working within the confines of the Constitution, like wimpy Marco Rubio. No nonsense about how immigrants aren't all rapists and drug dealers, like the doomed Jeb Bush piped up quietly with from time to time. Nope. Just good ol' fashioned, white-hot racism with its own private jet. And he's rich, so you know God loves him. That's how it works, right?"
