There will be low information voters who vote for her because they want the first woman president, just like voters of the currebt president who wanted the first black president.
I certainly don’t begrudge anyone (Catholic or not) who chooses to vote for Trump. I just wonder if Catholics who may be appalled by both choices will stay home? - or will they vote for the lesser of two perceived Evils. I also wonder if the Pope will make a comment if it comes to those two candidates.
It is Church teaching that we cannot support abortions in anyway.
This has been discussed ad nauseam on CAF, even within the last few weeks. Sorry to leave you “dumbfounded” but it seems very unlikely that doing it all again will lead to different viewpoints for either of us.
Sorry…I don’t always follow the new thread. It moves way too quick for me.
Thank you, GP, for the links.
If any democrat gets into office…it’s a literal death sentence for millions of innocent lives.
Well said, this really should be a “given” among Catholics and even among Christians.
There are real souls of people whose lives are snuffed out voting for some politicians.
I don’t see any way that it will be anything but Donald v. Hillary.
The only chance the Republican establishment has of stopping a Trump coronation at the convention is for 3 of their candidates to drop out now and fall in line behind an establishment challenger. That wont happen though because they all covet the nomination too much to sacrifice their own candidacy.
I’m hoping the FBI gives Bernie the nomination.
Even that strategy is not certain since a chunk of their followers would not do as instructed, instead they would move to Trump
True. Trump also made a thinly veiled threat to run as a third party candidate in the event of convention shenanigans so there really is no hope for the Republican establishment.
With the public support he’s receiving, would you blame Trump?
The DNC primary wasn’t rigged for Hillary. She’s winning because enough voters have decided that she should be the nominee. As for Trump, I don’t know what his end-game is. I don’t know if those threats are a negotiation tactic for dropping into a cabinet position or if he’s serious about going rogue. All I know is that, with the number of delegates and popular support he has, he won’t be walking away from that convention empty handed.
Yet both Martin O’Malley and Bernie disagreed with your assessment, huh.
They know that the DNC supports Hillary as much as the RNC hates Trump, but that doesn’t decide primaries. O’Malley is just a whiner who wouldn’t stand a chance if the DNC ran a corpse.
Is it just coincidence that Hillary’s only real competition this election cycle was Sanders? Seriously. 2008 was supposed to be Hillary’s year. It seems to me that when Obama surged out of nowhere and won IA, then piled up a small, but unpassable delegate lead in February, between the January primaries (which had FL’s and MI’s results nixed due to them refusing to abide by DNC rules) and March 2008’s Super Tuesday (where Clinton ended up winning the big states, while Obama won more states - and ended up tied in delegates received that day) and took the nomination from her (and then the Presidency in a year where even Satan himself would have won if he had a (D) after his name), the entire Democratic Party pretty much went out of their way to ensure Hillary’s nomination in 2016. Seriously. Why did so few people even try to challenge Hillary? Elizabeth Warren, who is pretty much a female Bernie Sanders, refused to run. Biden decided not to run. And at least 50% of DC Dems and Governors had endorsed Hillary before she even officially declared her campaign. The Dem voters are backing Hillary practically in default. Sure, Sanders is there, but he really only connects with younger, white, ultra liberal people in the Dem Party. In other words, the people who apologize for being “privileged”, but themselves have no money.
Hillary is closer to the center than any candidate from either party and, the important thing being, people know who she is. Sanders started out as an unknown, wasn’t even part of the Democratic Party before his candidacy, and is far left of Hillary. He had to start from the ground up. Few people believed him to be a viable candidate in the beginning, but he does have a lot of popular support. He is more popular among millennials, independents, and minorities.
