>>Interesting that you say that - because of the many liberals who automatically vote D simply because the Rs are largely pro-life and want to defund PP

/edit/

Many Catholics who voted for Obama were appalled by efforts revealed in the Podesta leaks not only to undermine democracy but the Catholic hierarchy. HRC had the same gender as Mary and Mother Theresa but to Catholics, that had to be balanced against the pattern of secretive smelly dealings and deviousness. Normally Trump's crudity would be a huge turn off but he earned a partial reprieve when an accuser claimed he was molesting her in the first class cabin of an aircraft as the first class stewardess (as they were called way back then) hovered. Who is over-egging this pudding, people wondered, drawing attention back to the behavior revealed in the Podesta leaks. Casualization of abortion was the icing on the cake. The US Catholics I knew weighed up all these things against Trump's tiresomely familiar crudity and voted, holding their noses. If this makes them single-issue voters or stupid, then those terms join "deplorable" in the lexicon of those who still don't understand why Trump won.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
