text: First, I am not an apologist for the Republican party.  I am Republican and Conservative, but I am Catholic first, American second, Republican third.  
  
  Did you forget that 40 years ago, the hierarchy and the laity voted for and supported Democrats?  Did you forget that it was Catholics who elected JFK? 
  
  The reason the Democratic party fell out of favor is because it has morphed from being the party of the common folk, the blue collar workers, to being the party of rich, elite wall street Limousine liberals and Hollywood celebrities. who think they are more enlightened than thou, who have embraced an extreme secularism and far left radical values.  Many of these values are totally inconsistent with Catholic values.   
  
  The Democrats no more care about people than Republicans. Republicans are about the divine right of kings?  Let me see--what presidential candidate walked around and acted like she was entitled to the presidency?---because of who she is?  It wasn't Trump.
