Morning Glory: What did Iowa's evangelicals do? (And why did they do it?)

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Folks notice that the effort to "get Trump" got underway a long time ago -- 2015- and will seemingly never end.
51% : But the most important thing Trump had going for him in Iowa with evangelicals, and probably in all future primary contests, is that the deeply felt belief among many people of faith that elites are after Trump.
50% : My colleagues at the Washington Post wondered again this weekend what "evangelicals" see in Trump.
50% : Experts on religious liberty, such as John Inazu from Washington University in St. Louis, cite multiple major religion-related Supreme Court cases and say religious freedom is perhaps more protected than ever.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION
50% : Commentary Magazine editor John Podhoretz wondered on the magazine's Monday morning's podcast, after ticking off the latest self-destruct button hit by another would-be Trump Javert, in this case Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis who appears to have directed a whole bunch of Trump prosecution legal business and tax dollars to her lover.
50% : Hewitt has interviewed tens of thousands of guests from Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Kerry to Republican Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump over his forty years in broadcast, and this column previews the lead story that will drive his radio show today.
49% : There will certainly be some small percentage of "evangelicals" who believe Trump is "ordained" by God but there are going to be quite a few on the other end who support him even though they don't believe they share a common faith.
42% : So the "fact checkers" are simply wrong, again, and ten minutes with any litigator from Alliance Defending Freedom, which handles hundreds of not thousands of anti-religious actions every year on behalf of believers can set any reporter straight on the record.
42% : Smith especially has reached for theories of first impression every bit as unusual as the Colorado Supreme Court's and Maine's Secretary of State's in deciding that the people would in fact not get to decide whether to vote for Trump.
34% : Trump is not guaranteed the GOP nomination much less the election, though I do think he'd lock it down with the right running mate, some key Cabinet announcements, and more of the relaxed Trump we saw on Fox Townhall last week than white hot rally Trump.
30% : A LOOK BACK AT IOWA CAUCUS NIGHTS FROM THE PASTIt all adds up to a very long column of first-of-it's-kind charges against Trump.
30% : Some may answer "Ron DeSantis" or "Nikki Haley" and almost certainly those two -- just like Trump -- will give America's foes much more pause than the Appeasement Caucus around the infirm president.
21% : Trump is no fan of the education establishment, so he's going to pick up evangelicals on these issues as well.
19% : "What is it about liberals who hate Trump that they rush headline into suicide?"
17% : If the world continues to tumble into intense conflict, of whom will America's enemies be more wary: Trump or Biden?
15% : In the same piece though, there is this astonishing paragraph:Trump has accused the Biden administration of discriminating against people of faith, suggesting at a campaign event in Waterloo, Iowa, that "Christians and Americans of faith are being persecuted and government has been weaponized against religion like never before."
