Wear's comments remind me of those who condemn and complain about Obama's lack of outreach to Congressional Republicans.  Much research has shown this accusation to be full of holes; denial of reality; etc.
Wear says contrary points throughout this interview - face it, evangelicals who voted for Trump are hypocrites.  Remember this fact - evangelicals were for abortion before they realized being anti-abortion could get them political power.  There is little to no points about faith, values, justice in this interview - rather, it asks Democrats to at least pander to right wing ignorance.
Sorry - these folks would not have voted for Clinton; no matter what party or Obama did......the same was true for some white, high school educated and rural voters in the upper Midwest.  They bought the right wing Clinton conspiracies.
Weigel - as usual, all about JP the Grate but his point about Farrell is actually true - Farrell was no Francis bishop until he suddenly was given recognition and power
