So Donald Trump is still leading the polls among Republicans:

A good part of that Republican base are the people on the far right and the Tea Party. Groups that I would say for certain are mostly comprised of Christians and specifically from that mostly Evangelical Christians. These groups have been the most likely to have supported Trump ever since his prejudice rhetoric at his announcement speech. There is evidence for this:

However, one would have to wonder why groups like these, who are quite passionate in their theist beliefs, would be supporting a man such as Trump when videos like these exist:

This was even relevant during the 2012 election, considering that the Republican Nominee was Mitt Romney, a Mormon:

Even though Evangelicals haven't always been the nicest to Mormons:

I suppose what I'm trying to get at is what compels these groups of people to passionately defend their beliefs against say an Atheist or Muslim, but let it fall to the wayside when it comes to politics? Obviously a good part of these groups want America to become a Christian Theocracy. Candidates like Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee have basically stated they would rule America according to the Bible. Yet they are currently supporting a man who struggles to answer questions according to the Bible or religion. I find it as a fascinating occurrence of cognitive dissonance, but what do you think accounts for this?
