I was speaking of Trump. He would lose support among a large part of his base if he dumped Pence. They would stay home.
I doubt any conservative evangelical or Conservative Catholic would ever vote for Beto after his latest(dumb)outburst, but they weren't going to anyway, as you said.
I was hoping to stay away from politics on these forums(lol)as I am doing a discerning between Catholicism and Orthodoxy or even to stay Lutheran(but that's a whole 'nother thread lol) but I agree with your last paragraph. There is no way I'm voting for any of those Dems, period. Not ever, ever, ever.
I've been very pleased with the judicial appointments in this administration and I take the long view.
For me it was about Scotus, and I predicted way back before Obergefell that if that same sex marriage became legal in all 50 states that churches and religious institutions such as parochial schools would lose their freedoms as who to hire or to teach that marriage is between one man and one woman. Many of my Christian friends bought the view that "Oh how does our neighbors same sex union affect us?) We will just go on teaching marriage is one man and woman, abortion is wrong, etc....)
Uh, no. Look, already haven't some Catholic Institutions had to shut down because they refused to place children with same sex couples? One option against the public school system(which is Godless) is our parochial schools such as my confessional Lutheran school and Catholic schools, where our children can learn about God along with top rate education. they are itching to shut those down, and the tax exempt thing might do it.
On the other hand, there is something to the argument that not having tax exemptions would free us up, in a way, too.
