Snip
In his endorsement, Falwell Jr. did not anoint Trump as the most righteous candidate; that distinction would probably go to Bernie Sanders, a self-described secular Jew who calls out moneyed interests with the passion of the Hebrew prophets. Falwell, however, hailed Trump as "a successful executive and entrepreneur, a wonderful father and a man who I believe can lead our country to greatness again."
Trump is on his third marriage. Whether or not he qualifies as a "wonderful father" is not for me to judge, although he has eerily suggested that, were she not his daughter, he'd consider dating Ivanka Trump (his daughter). Similarly, in 1980, Jerry Falwell Sr., while proclaiming his support for "family values," embraced the divorced and remarried Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter.

on every single topic?
I suppose the only non hypocrites are the ones willing to die to prevent Women from health care.
Wrong and terrible but at least not hypocrites.
Oh wait, no they are also. Willing to die to save something not even alive yet, and once it is alive, will go out of their way NOT to help it's survival.
