Evangelicals don’t hesitate to vote according to their religious beliefs or act contrary to them when in office. Neither should Catholics.

Right. Reagan, Romney, and Trump switched positions to get Evangelical endorsements.

Why all this interest in the slave owning ancestors of Kamala Harris? Many African Americans probably have some slave owning ancestors. According to a study in the American Journal of Human Genetics, the average African American has 24% white European ancestry. I’m sure that a lot of those white ancestors of European descent were slave owners.

It’s an effort to discredit her as not really ‘black’, which is really nasty when you think about it.

But most African Americans are probably descendants of both slaves and slave owners. It’s well known that many slave owners slept with their slaves. That’s where many African Americans get that 24% white ancestry. Even Martin Luther King, Jr. almost certainly had ancestors who were slave owners.

Perhaps, but I’m sure that the white descendants of slave owners did much better in life than their African American descendants.Thorolfr:
Correct, which is why the whole concept of ancestry tests is very silly. Since that is the case, though, it is equally silly to choose a VP simply because she has a certain skin color.

That’s assuming that’s all they considered but probably other factors played a role as well.

Aren’t White Catholics more diverse in their voting patterns? Do statistics reveal that most of them voted for Trump and are likely to do so again?

The choice of VP has to do with whether that person will help the ticket win the election. If picking a woman of color will help turn out more women and more people of color on election day to vote for your ticket, then it seems like a wise thing to do.Thorolfr:
Sure but what does that have to do with the choice of president or VP? I’m sure kids in the math club had a harder childhood than the MBAs, but probably the latter would make better lawmakers.

Do you mean that Evangelicals support Trump because of his godly moral values? Really?

Biden lurching as an extreme leftist, again:

Most likely. I don’t think anyone’s going to change their mind.
