Not voting for Trump because he may be soft on abortion is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. If he had said he might go soft on some of our country’s enemies, that might be a reason for voting against him, but in that case...not even voting would likely go just as well. Not voting for Trump if you can remember what he accomplished in his last run as president is just plain foolish.

Why did Constantinople get the works?

The Ottomans were not around in 1204--the rise of the Ottomans begins in 1299 (at first a very small territory in northwestern Anatolia).

The Crusaders were supposed to sail to Egypt but owed money to the Venetians for the ships they had built. The son of the deposed Byzantine emperor begged them for help to restore him to power, promising to give them the money they owed to the Venetians so they could proceed on their way to fight the Muslims. But one thing after the other went wrong until the Crusaders and the Venetians captured Constantinople for themselves.
