the problem with 'Tribal voting' is the Catholic issue. Catholics value their tribe of Catholics over anything Trump has to offer.

If Catholics feel that their only choices are Hillary (who despises Catholics and everything we stand for) and Trump (who also despises everything we stand for), Catholics will just sit out or vote third party.

Trump needs: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, Ohio. He cannot win without Hispanic support because of Florida. And even if he increased his white turnout, he would have to appeal enough to Catholics to get over the hump. Basically, Trump is boned.

Trump does best with White Catholics out of all demographics. Hispanic =/ Catholic

Uh, no. Quite the opposite.

White Catholics mainly live in the Northeast and areas where Trump did best in.

Trump did best in the Republican Primaries but in pretty much all the Northeast states Hillary Clinton received far more primary votes.

I was talking about the Republican electorate. Areas with White Catholics were most inclined to vote for Trump.
