It does not matter what a persons religious views are, as a citizen of a democratic country you can only vote for those who offer themselves for public office. This means a person will always have to choose between the lesser of two evils (as they see it). Obviously evangelicals felt that Trump was the lesser of two evils and he in return has advanced causes that interest them (supreme court appointments, anti abortion legislation etc) which continues to engender their support. Its not complicated!
Liberals and lobbyists apply the same approach all the time without being questioned!
*Sharing his thoughts on the 25 cents to $1 businesses can now charge customers for plastic bags, Mr Cooper added: “I think the intent was sound in relation to discouraging the use of plastics (but) had there been a longer transition period, people would have been allowed to use up their stock. This is what my recommendation was to the government.*
Businesses had almost one year to use up their stock of plastic bags and styrofoam containers and find replacement bags and containers for their customers. The government is not at fault here, but rather businesses who planned poorly without considering the needs of their customers. Nobody should have to go into a grocery store to buy a loaf of bread and supply their own bag!
... the problem is the inability of the DNA (under her leadership thus far) to create grassroots support because of their inability to connect with the issues that are important to the majority of voters. Thoughts and ideas don't win elections, grassroots momentum does!
