How Trump won with evangelicals -- and won big

With Republicans set to control the House, Senate and the White House, these leaders have high hopes and won’t accept excuses for not delivering.

They expect Trump to swiftly nominate a ninth Supreme Court justice in the mold of the late Antonin Scalia.

“Social conservatives saw as the most existential threat to religious liberty being the filling of the Scalia seat and the shaping of the court for some time to come,” said Ken Blackwell, the former Cincinnati mayor who’s leading president-elect Trump’s domestic transition team.

“The court is the most important,” Blackwell emphasized, in a telephone interview with The Hill on Thursday. “That’s going to be an early signal.”

Movement leaders will hold President Trump to his pledges to repeal ObamaCare and what he calls the “Johnson Amendment.” Scrapping this obscure 1954 law would allow religious organizations to engage in partisan political activities without losing their tax-exempt status.
