We’re joined today by DOUG PAGITT, Executive Director and co-founder of Vote Common Good, a non-profit focused on “energizing and mobilizing people of faith to make the common good their voting criteria.”
In a recent opinion piece for MSNBC, Pagitt detailed how his group’s bus tour through battleground states this year is helping Christians to understand they don’t have to vote Republican, while helping to teach Democratic candidates how to reach those voters, particularly in swing-states and counties.
So how did we get to such a place in this country, where a guy like Trump — who has never been seen attending a regular religious service, either before, during, or after his Presidency — would be the preferred candidate for a huge part of the religious community? Pagitt has a bunch of thoughts on all of this today.
