I might expect Hillary to take the Catholic vote, as usual — but if Trump is up massively with working class whites in PA and other northeastern states, as it appears he is, then he might take the overall Catholic vote.

Yup. Blue collar union types in PA, OH, MI are largely Catholic. And this time they’re going for Trump.

Also factor in the Church’s denunciation of Hillary and the Democrats now.

It isn’t just Catholics, the KKKlintoons hate all religous Christians, and especially the truly conservative religious ones. They hate Jews, Catholics, Baptists and Mormons. They hate any group that doesn’t kowtow to their liberal ideals of promiscuous sex and plentiful abortion clinics like 7-11s...................

THanks, Captain.

I do believe the numbers will fall for Hillary.

The full impact nor even the full circulation of the O’Keefe video expose’ has not yet had time to reach its crescendo.

Working people will never find time to immerse themselves in the Wiki leaks files. They have to get out in spoon size feedings to be absorbed.

It’s up to media to get that stuff out. Few are doing anywhere near enough servings of the Wiki emails.

Alinski overwhelms.

The following may apply to all whose faith, whether Catholic, Protestant, or other belief system whose consciences causes them to object to Hillary's positions on the "life" question.

For all who understand the underlying premise of the Declaration of Independence--that our rights, as individuals, are inalienable precisely, and only, because they are endowed by the Creator--then, Trump's remarks which elicited exposure of Clinton's unequivocal commitment to the 20th Century "progressive" notion of destroying the life and liberty of children in the womb makes him the winner.

In America, our constitutional protections rest on the Founders' premise that each and all individuals are "endowed by their Creator" with the unalienable right to both life and the liberty to enjoy it, or, in their words, "the pursuit of happiness."

The sole reason these rights were deemed unalienable is that both are derived from the Creator--not from the mother or father, and not from government or judicial decision. What is "granted" by human decision also can, by implication, be withheld.

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them (life and liberty)," said Thomas Jefferson.

"The world is different now. . . and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address

That understanding underlies every other consideration embodied in our Declaration of Independence and every protection of our Constitution. It is the very basis of our rights to life and liberty, of laws to protect them, and it distinguishes ours from other forms of government.

When we fail to acknowledge that foundation of our liberty, then we risk liberty itself for future generations, for where does the right to choose who lives and who does not really end?

That is why the question is of vital importance in each election. Already, we have deprived millions of their Creator-endowed rights to life and liberty, and our nation must be weaker for their loss. We need leaders who understand the implications and potential consequences of departing from our founding principles.

In recent decades, technological advances have enabled us to observe the characteristics and actions of God's tiniest creations in the womb. Unlike previous generations who could not see, we have no excuse for imagining that these are mere blobs of tissue labeled "fetuses." In their early weeks, we now can see that they are living babies who will continue on to possess life and liberty if we do not "destroy" both. Indeed, they are simply smaller versions of ourselves.

Clinton's clever semantic maneuver which conflates "women's health" with the death of a viable and distinct "other" masks an agenda that is not consistent with the underlying principles of the Framers' Constitutional protections for liberty.

Especially Abp. Chaput of Philidelphia. He has had some strong words for both candidates but the words borrowed from a friend to describe Hillary were:

“a scheming, robotic liar with a lifelong appetite for power and an entourage riddled with anti-Catholic bigots.”

He had been about equally annoyed with both candidates until the anti-Catholic stuff started getting out there from Wikileaks.

Trump is not + 8 with Catholics that’s BULL SHIITE! According to a Washington Post ABC News Langer Research survey about two weeks ago, Trump was leading Catholics 57/33 and that was BEFORE the wikileak exposed the Democrats’ scheme to overthrow the authority of the Pope became public knowledge.
It is probably closer 60/30.

Back in the 80s when I was coming of age, my old man (irish Catholic, raised in working class upstate NY) would opine that regardless of the image of the dems as the party of the inner city or the gays or whatever, the real core of the Democrat's support had always been the blue collar / union guys and Catholics, going back to the 1800s. This was in the Reagan years, and he made the point then that if they lose those two groups, they are done. Reagan was taking the blue collar workers away at the time so it came close. But it proved temporary, alas.

Fast forward to current day. I'd love it if he were proven prophetic by Trump getting put over the top by blue collar workers and Catholics.

John Podesta himself is a lifelong, practicing Catholic, so he says.

Well, Podesta did a little bit more than than just mock Catholics and the Catholic Church.

Podesta formed two Soros funded “Catholic” non profits dedicated to destroying the Catholic Church from within and then hijacking and taking over the Catholic Church organization and the faith to mislead Catholics and use the Church organization to further progressive agendas
