Have to admit....his performance at the Al Smith Dinner made me cringe.
But it appears to have done the trick. Drew all the attention to himself, and then pointed out to Catholics
that “she hates you!”
We Catholics were praying for a pro-life candidate and we know who that was!
It sure looks like white Catholics in Iowa tilted the state to Trump, and there’s an even greater likelihood that white Catholics reelected actual conservative Rod Bum (R) in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, which leans Democrat.
“By contrast, President Barack Obama won Catholics narrowly, by a margin of 50 to 48 percent, in 2012.”
Obama actually lost the electoral college Catholic vote in a landslide in 2012 per the states that did exit polling. It will be interesting to look at the actual individual states that did exit polling this time when they release the details by state. The Catholic vote varies wildly by region and state, you had states that where Catholics went 70% Romney and states where they went 70% Obama. Of course exit polling is just what one stranger supposedly tells another about how they voted.

This Catholic is from California and this Catholic would never, never consider voting for anyone who hates Christians, this country, and guns
Right on. CA is the reason Obama won the popular Catholic vote in 2012. I recall Obama won Catholics by 60% in CA, lots of lib Catholics and latinos.

Evangelicals, Catholics, and other religious recognized the heavy hand of coming despotic government beginning the persecution of the church. This wasn’t about abortion, homosexuality, or any of those issues. This was about recognizing Nero’s handwriting in its beginning stages.
What kind of POS Catholic would vote for a lady who was openly advocating for murdering babies right before they are born?
Deplorable Catholic here.
Me too! Along with the rest of a rather large Catholic extended family.
**preliminary results indicate Trump decisively won a majority of those self-identifying as Catholics, by 52 to 45 percent.**
Are Catholics Waking Up for America?
I think there is great truth in your post.
Those two are very photogenic!
As much as I am happy with the results and the increase in the Catholic vote for Trump, I am not satisfied with the 52-45 breakout. This is nothing to be ecstatic about. The evangelicals in this country put Catholics to shame.
When “self-identifying” Catholics begin to actually believe and preach the Catholic Faith, then perhaps the results will look like (or surpass) the Evangelical vote. Then again, all we need to do is look to the self-identifying “Catholic” hierarchy for the abysmal Catholic voting history. Sh!t flows downstream.
My daughter and her sister nuns have been on this:
and today on their radio show acknowledged the strength when evangelicals, orthodox, protestants, secularists, and others unite for life and religious liberty.
