Trump won solely on the religious vote.  For the first time in eight years the Catholic vote went to the Republican party.  Trump understood the importance of the Christian vote and went after those voters.  I personally don't think Trump is religious in the least, but as a business man made a deal in order to get the vote.  I don't trust him, but so far he has kept his promises, especially dealing with pro life issues.  He has also reversed the gender identity issues regarding bathrooms.  The liberal side of the Democratic party has abandoned religion, and now they are paying the price for their foolishness.   By the way minorities have always voted Democratic, so nothing was different in this election.
