Demography expert says white Christians could help Trump win in 2020 despite decline
The Hill ^ | August 9, 2019 | Marina Pitofsky

Religious and demographic change expert Robert Jones warned Democrats ahead of the 2020 election that the Republican Party has the equivalent of a “time machine” when it comes to winning over white, Christian voters across the country.

In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Friday, Jones said Republicans appear to “turn back time” at the ballot box because white, Christian communities show up in larger numbers than minorities.

Democrats, he said, cannot count on America's "dramatically" changing demographics to defeat President Trump next year.

“One of the dynamics in the U.S. is that white, Christian voters turn out to vote at higher rates than other Americans do. One of the ironies of our current situation is that we are in a place where the country is changing quite dramatically, and part that change is a decline in the percentages of white Christians in the country,” Jones said.

what about black Christians?

Obama had to lie to them about opposing gay marriage to get into the white house.

If there is any ‘Time Machine’ phenomenon, it is because they have no place else to go without being ridiculed, despised and ultimately ignored by the Dem Socialists.

Trump should get a bigger chunk of the white vote than he did in 2016.

Why? Because the idiot dems have gone absolute mad. All they care about is illegal immigrants.

And a lot more Black, Hispanic and Asian “White” Supremacists will be voting for Trump next year in numbers that will stun all these leftist media and policy think tank wonks!

I am continually gob-smacked at how White Christians vote Democrat at all. Yes, I get the bleeding hearts for social justice--but late term abortions are an anathema. And complaining about the crudeness of Donald Trump while ignoring the poisonous hatred spewing from his foes just boggles my mind.

The LGBTQUERTY thing is also a factor. Christ commanded us to love everyone--but he didn't repeal the Old Testament's teaching on sexual morality. But, we have infantilized public discourse--just because I exhort you not to sin does not mean that I hate you.

In 2016, Trump got 63% of the white male vote and 53% of the white female vote.

I don’t think it’s unrealistic to try to push those numbers up to 70% and 60%, respectively.

Why can’t they just tell the truth? CHRISTIAN voters turn out in larger numbers, race really has little to do with it!

Not just “white Christians”, all color Christians.

There are many colored people too, who are Christian.

And everyone else who lives here wants to Make America Great Again.

And there is still a lot of work to do.

Christians of ALL ethnicities will vote for for Trump to protect the unborn and the sanctity of heterosexual marriage.

There is also the rapid GROWTH of Hispanic Protestants. One such group not much discussed on the outside are the Apostolics. They are YUUUUUGE here in South Florida and are well organized. Not many non-Hispanic Apostolics but among Latins they are big. To be honest I’m not even sure what exactly Apostolics are all about but I do know they are big down here.

No Christian should be voting for any Democrat. Just to be clear, the Democrats explicitly rejected God and embraced Satan in their 2012 national convention.

Well, duh! I’ve got news for the author...

EVERY single cohort and group that is sick and tired of being called hater, nazi, fascist, white supremacist, and racist ad nauseum for years on end is going to help re-elect Trump. It will be a silent majority coalition of the “new victims.”

I would think Trump is going to get close to 100% of the white vote, now that all whites have been accused of being “white supremacists.” Pretty stupid move by the socialists, if you stop and think about it for 5 seconds.
