The only “reason” that Hillary Clinton did not offer as a cause for her defeat was the whipping she took on the Catholic vote.
Since 1952 when it was first surveyed, the Catholic vote has been an absolutely perfect indicator of which candidate would win a presidential election.
In these elections no Republican that got at least 48% of the Catholic vote has ever lost; and no Democrat who has gotten less than 48% has ever won. Trump won the overall Catholic vote 53/46; that includes the welfare cheese rodents from south of the border who willing sold out their church to the Democrats. Without this drag on the numbers Trump would have won 60/40. If the Democrats keep this up, in 2020 Trump will win 74/25 among real Catholics and 57/42 overall because so many rodents will be leaving.
48%...
Interesting.
