Some Evangelicals in Republican Party are Feeling Left Out, See No Standard-Bearer
posted on August 20, 2014At The Washington Post, Sebastian Payne reports, “Many social conservatives say they feel politically isolated as the country seems to be hurtling to the left … They feel out of place in a GOP increasingly dominated by tea party activists and libertarians.” Payne writes that many conservative evangelicals see no clear 2016 front-runner on their side. Though there are potential candidates like Ben Carson who are popular with social conservatives, “some activists fear that evangelicals risk pouring time, money and hope into another doomed candidate.”
