The entire US hierarchy and the USCCB to boot are studiously ignoring Pope Francis' advice on "voting your conscience."  And in election 2016, conscience really matters, both for Catholics and for non-Catholics.  Our bishops have chosen NOT to be part of the conscience-formation process, opting instead yo dictate the result, much as did a certain midwestern bishop thundering against President Obama from the pulpit of his cathedral.  Well, it didn't play in Peoria, literally or figuratively, so now we'll watch history repeating itself with divine vengeance.
