With an eye toward the current race, Smith divided evangelicals into several groups.

1) If you’re an evangelical worried about your job, about paying the bills, about American workers getting beaten up by foreign competition, you’re in Trump territory.

2) If you’re an evangelical who digs a little deeper into the values issues, if the Supreme Court gay marriage decision has made you determined to protect religious liberty, you’re in Cruz territory.

3) If you’re an evangelical who’s a little more analytical and believes the GOP can’t win states like Colorado and Virginia with an ideologue for a candidate, you’re in Rubio territory…

Smith has a theory. No, evangelicals do not see Trump, with his three marriages, casinos, and occasionally foul mouth, as one of their own. But they feel increasingly under siege by the forces of liberal secularism, and they’re looking for a strong leader to defend them.
