text: Trump won because Clinton's VP was too white and because of last minute stupidity by the FBI chief. The polls reflected it. Trump also spoke the Bishops’ line on abortion enough for them to edge four states he should not have won. Sadly, Hillary should have taken the Obama line that the Pro-life movement is an electoral scheme, giving many Catholics cover. She was winning the pro-choice vote anyway. If she had done what I told her in 2007 we would not have an idiot in the White House.
