“But the Republicans will still do quite well with the conservative element of the Catholic vote”.

Once a reliably Democratic cohort, Catholics have in recent decades swung back and forth between the two parties. She was thrilled when Clinton called out Trump for saying he knew more about the Islamic State than do military generals.
Catholics are also a diverse and constantly changing community thanks to immigration, largely from Latin America, and the exodus of cradle Catholics to other denominations or to the ranks of the unaffiliated.
The United Nations doesn’t want countries to recognize Crimea as part of Russia, and some top Republicans are staunchly defending Crimea against what they say is Russian aggression.
He was responding to Clinton’s claim at the Democratic National Convention that Trump has brought the Republican Party from “morning in America to midnight in America”. “Folks, you can not believe one word that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth”, Kaine said. But it’s that middle 20 percent that is in play, and in a close election winning that bloc is crucial to each candidate’s chances in November.
And Clinton offered an open hand to backers of Vermont Sen. On Saturday, Trump called their son, U.S. Capt. Humayun Khan, a hero but said the issue was about terrorism and the ability of leaders of the current administration to eradicate it.
But it now seems nearly a requirement to put a second-in-command who can tick the Catholic box.
Obviously, Clinton did not shy from directly challenging Trump in areas where he’s making an aggressive appeal to working-class families, who traditionally vote Democratic.
“I don’t have a sense of humor about cyberterrorism”, Kaine said. The campaign also told reporters that buses it contracted were manufactured in Pembina, N.D., while a company in Nashville printed and installed the campaign insignia.
“These are the folks that we know that Donald Trump is targeting, but we are convinced that we have the plans that will actually speak to those lingering economic anxieties that those voters face”, said Brian Fallon, Clinton’s press secretary, at a press conference Monday.
“I get it that some people just don’t know what to make of me”, she said.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told The Dispatch on Saturday that Ohioans should study the “very sharp differences” between Trump and Clinton.
Similarly in Florida, since 2012, there has been a three hundred thousand vote change in registration towards the Republicans and away from the Democrats- in a state that Barack Obama won by ninety-four thousand votes last time around. Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kaine said as he introduced Clinton.
That stance has drawn sharp opposition to Kaine from anti-abortion Catholics and their allies.
“Let’s talk about trust”, he said, “I trust Hillary Clinton with our son’s life”. “I am not. Not by a long shot”. They were never likely to be wooed by anything Clinton did, and it’s a fair bet that Trump’s negatives would outweigh the reservations that undecided voters might have in regard to abortion.
With Clinton as the alternative, and the modern Democratic Party unfriendly to evangelicals to the point of practically mocking them, many devout Christians were resigned to voting for Trump, anyway.
Clinton and Kaine both hit Trump’s business record, saying the NY billionaire has profited personally by sending jobs overseas and stiffing his employees. Clinton’s team has said the hack reveals a problem with Trump and his relationship with Russian Federation, who intelligence experts suspect of being responsible. The figures for registered white Catholics were a sharp contrast: 50 percent siding with Trump and 46 percent with Clinton. Those numbers might be politically fatal if it weren’t for the fact that Trump’s ratings are in many ways worse.Democrats spent this week offering their own narrative about Clinton, of good deeds and social activism and friendship and tenacity.
