By Jonathan Russell

…old guard has stepped forward to engage in an ancient ritual of the Right, dating back to the Reagan years: evangelical-washing. Trump has won the populist bloc without the rhetoric the old guard so wants to hear—the language Dobson is injecting here on his behalf via the he-prayed-the-salvation-prayer motif.
