How Evangelicals Helped Donald Trump Win by nduchucks: 2:50pm On Nov 11, 2016

In the dark hours of early Wednesday morning, moments after Donald Trump gave his victory speech to a cheering ballroom in New York, the president-elect paused backstage with Pentecostal pastor Paula White.

With vice-president-elect Mike Pence and their families nearby, White prayed over them, asking God to guide them in wisdom and to protect them in the days ahead. Just days earlier, White was traveling with Trump on his plane when he brought up how Harry Truman surprised everyone by winning against Thomas Dewey in 1948.

Now, Trump prepares to enter the White House after an upset of his own. For White, “God’s hand and purpose in this” is hard to miss—thousands of Christians, she says, joined her in three days of prayer and fasting in anticipation of the outcome. “I haven’t personally seen it since 9/11 when the body has really come together,” she says.

Unlike much of the political universe, Trump’s inner circle of evangelical advisors is anything but surprised at his victory. More than most, evangelicals cast their lot with Trump early, and like White, many of Trump key evangelical advisors were with Trump’s team on Tuesday in New York to usher in their win together. Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., talked with Trump four times on Tuesday. It was on their third phone call, while waiting for Trump at the victory party, Falwell says, that Trump realized he was about to win.

More like James Comey, Russia and Julian Assange helped Trump do the damage on Clinton. James Coney singlehandedly brought her poll lead from a double-digit to a single-digit, or to zero sometimes.
We'll see. The anticipation for Obama (a man who's morally and spiritually more prepared) was a thousand times more than Trump's.
