It has not been talked about in the media but Donald Trump has a huge lead among Catholics.
We know the media and Democrats are desperate; we know they are telling any lie and hiding every bit of good news for Trump they possibly can. His lead among Catholics is the biggest smothered data item so far.
Finding the truth is very difficult but not impossible. A Washington Post ABC News Langer Research survey quietly released last week contained some very good news for Trump. It said he is leading among White men 65/25 and just down 44/46 among White women.
Nevertheless, a through reading of Langer’s report provides news that is of A –BOMB quality. Hidden on page seven of the Langer Research report is a data item that could be almost as important as the “White men” item.
Langer says Trump is getting the support of 57% of Catholics and Clinton is getting just 33% of the Catholic vote.
Since 1952 Catholics have supported Democrats in all but three election. The 57% for Trump has only been exceeded twice by a Republican. No Democrat has ever gotten as few as 33% of the Catholic vote with the previous low being 39%. Each time the Catholic vote has gone to the Republican candidate he has won. Trump’s Catholic vote even exceeds the 22 point victory Ronald Reagan enjoyed in 1984 with Catholics.
Year after year Catholics have been about 25% of those voting in both presidential and mid-term elections. If Trump takes 57% of the Catholic vote he will have gotten more Catholic votes than eight winning Republican candidates since 1952 by an average of 11 points.
If Catholics are 25% of the electorate and he takes 57% of this group’s vote it will give Trump 14.25 points of votes. Clinton’s 33% of the Catholic vote will give her 8.25 points and leave her 6 points behind.
It is worth noting that four important states that are being identified as “Toss ups,” have Catholic populations of 25% or more. These states are Pennsylvania, 27% (so designated by The Fix – Washington Post’s political column) plus Minnesota 25%, Florida 26% and Wisconsin 29% so designated by the Real Clear Politics Electoral College Vote map.

On to Maryland!
But what about the Methodist vote? I’m sure they’re all breaking for Hillary seeing as how she’s, ya know, a Methodist.
Good Job.
In the maze of polling manipulation, something as straightforward as self-identified Catholics moving in Trump’s favor is far more important and decisive.
This is very good... but a problem for the Church hierarchy. Thus far, they have refused to call the Democratic Party out for their support of intrinsic evil... even in their party platform. A GOP win with a silent clergy in the face of evil suggests impotence.
I posted this two months ago; we had a latino priest give a tacit endorsement for DJT during the Prayers of the Faithful, when he prayed that “companies would keep their jobs in America and start manufacturing here”...i turned to my daughter and said, “He just endorsed Trump!!”
I’m in Maryland and cannot believe the poll on RCP today showing Trump behind by 36 points in my state.
I was a democrat for 38 years and Trump was the republican who motivated me to leave the donkeys.
33% of Catholics are apostate heretics.
Only one bishop in the entire U.S. (Patrick Aloysius Cardinal O’Boyle, Archbishop of Washington, who has had three unworthy successors), taught Humanae Vitae unequivocally in 1968. All the rest ringed the teaching around with blather about “conscience.”
The spiritually-dead bishops of 1968 have propagated themselves, giving us the spiritually-dead bishops of today.
Example:
Despite the loudest bishops’ best efforts, Mass-going Catholics still mostly care about abortion.
THe Democrat Party has never been so openly hostile to Catholics and the Church in general. It’s not crazy that they’ve moved over.
You all know what that means.
Social Justice homilies every Sunday from now till Election Day.
Worse than that, the hierarchy has convinced itself that the way to revive the Church is through open borders immigration, repatriating large numbers of Hispanic Catholics here.
“You all know what that means. Social Justice homilies every Sunday from now till Election Day.”
Not at my parish, where our pastor pushes the line to promote Trump and follows recent writings from the Conference of Catholic Bishops on the absurdity of being a pro-choice Catholic.

If this trend continues and Trump’s numbers with Catholics, white men and women, is truly at these levels, then he is really strong top to bottom...couple that with support among Blacks, Hispanics, and Millennials, and you’ve got a big wave coming.
