23. He's losing the Catholic vote

The Archbishop in DC called Trump out for his ugly behavior. Pope Francis has had a few choice words with Trump trying to slap back. Catholics in general do not perceive the man as anything close to an actual Christian. That photo-op at St John's and subsequent visit to John Paul II National Shrine was the final nail in the coffin.

The Trump's are soulless willing to use religious backdrops for their own ugly purposes.

White Catholics voted for Trump in 2016 by a 23 pt margin (60-37%). He'll lose that advantage in 2020.

Keep digging that hole, Donnie. Atta boy!
