The results of our campaign to turn the Catholic vote away from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump speak for themselves. In the top four battleground states Trump won Wisconsin (where 31 percent identify as Catholic) by 22,177 votes. In Pennsylvania (where 27.4 percent identify as Catholic) Trump won by 67,416 votes. In Florida (where 26 percent identify as Catholic) Trump won by 134,000 votes and in Michigan (where 23 percent identify as Catholic) Trump won by 10,704 votes.

Missouri GOP Chairman Ed Martin has worked on building up the Missouri GOP’s ground game and made a point of asking the tough questions at the Republican National Committee and, in the process, has apparently earned the enmity of the insiders who run the RNC. Now he's demanding an investigation into the race-baiting ads in Mississippi sponsored by two of the RNC's most powerful insiders -- former RNC Chairman Haley Barbour and his nephew Mississippi GOP National Committeeman Henry Barbour.

America is full of men and women who have broad shoulders and stout hearts, but they are not in ascendancy today. Our nation is run by the kind of people who will search an octogenarian from Minnesota before she boards a plane, but will allow the likes of Major Nidal Hassan to shield his evil with a whisper-thin patina of faith.
