She probably would have lost more voters than she would have gained by being polite to Christians which says a lot about today's society and the left.
One of the problems that the Dems are facing is that their tent has become so large that there are warring factions inside their own party who are at odds. This was illustrated in the Bernie Sanders crowd.

The strong pro life stance and judge list helped some, if he follows through on it his second term will all but be guaranteed. There were many, many pro life people who normally organize and work for campaigns that were on the sideline because we did not trust Trump on the life issue. We may have voted for him privately but did not "support" his campaign.
The next time around if 1/2 of those come out and work the turnout will be bigger.

Maybe a small factor. The post mortem seems to be getting bogged down in minutia, when the most obvious factor is the country was coming off an 8 year term of a Dem president and people, especially in rust belt states, saw no improvement and wanted a change.

quote:My jaw dropped when she went into it being a woman's "intimate choice with her family" as they were discussing late term abortions. I thought it was one of the single-most idiotic things she said the entire election cycle.
I don't think Hillary admitting in the debate that she was fine with killing a child at 9 months gestation period did her any favors.

quote:That is an oversimplification. Though some of her positions could be categorized that way, in general it is more a factor of near rabid enforcement of federal secularism over panentheism in any form. Christianity just happens to be the most common such expression in this country. In fairness, Obama seemed much more aligned with squashing public Christian expression. Hillary simply did not counter that.

At least Barack Obama tried to court the white evangelical vote.

Two other things: First, I think Hillary thought Dem turnout was her ticket to victory so she didn't really need to persuade anyone else. Second, I wonder if her being so sick didn't affect her campaign strategy. She didn't campaign much at all, especially compared to Trump.

That's true. Even most pro-abortion people are against late-term abortions and her apparent support of the practice turned off a lot of people.

A lot of hispanic people who may have been turned off by Trump's immigration policies are also very staunch Catholics, so those comments might have flipped them as well. I actually know someone for whom this was the case.

Ehhh, I really don't think so. Donald Trump has hardly been a pious or godly candidate. I think it was more her calling most Donald Trump deplorables, saying that she deserves the office only because she's a woman, and basically her entire fanbase saying "frick white men" that cost her the election. This is probably the election that had the least to do with religion since the 1800s.
EDIT: On second thought, there was a religion that cost her the election. No it had nothing to do with Christianity, but Islam. They refused to acknowledge it as a problem, while Donald Trump directly responded to it. It was the left's views on Islam that won Trump the election. They just put their head in the sand, especially with what is going on in Europe, and had no answer for what happened, particularly with Nice when they couldn't blame guns at all for that.

It's soOoOoOo hard being Christian in America. Why do so many people refuse to pay lip service to my particular deity? It's not fair.

Which was covered in the article and as the writer expounded, a bigger reason for Hillary to court the Christian vote.

My Mom tends to vote Democrat most of the time, but didn't vote for Hillary because of the Catholic Spring stuff in the Podesta emails.

Why isn't it valid to have a conversation about a legitimate voting block and their concerns without this particular attitude?
Why are Christian wants any less important than any other group?

Bc historically Christians have been too passive & didn't push back.

Reap/sow. The Dems are merely playing (poorly, hence the loss) on an anti-Christian sentiment that pervades because Christians in America by and large don't act like Jesus.

He courted the black evangelical vote masterfully and it got him elected twice. I can't think of any examples of him courting white evangelicals at all.
