My mother failed to vote for Thomas Dewey because he wore a moustache. There are and have always been petty reasons for casting ones vote. JFK looked better then Nixon on TV, Ike, Grant, Washington and others had a military record sto commend them, Theodore Roosevelt had "San Juan Hill". Some people win the popular vote and loose the election, that is the way our forefathers set up the system. In the immediate future we will see votes cast because of race, gender, creed and religion. Some voters will search out the issues, others will vote based on a feeling in their gut. Our forefather set up the system that way.

What happens if vice president candidate drops out of race?
If a vice presidential candidate drops out of the race, it would depend on the timing and the reasons for their withdrawal. If it happens before the party's nomination, the party may choose a replacement candidate. If it happens after the nomination, the party may still proceed with the original candidate or choose a new one through a replacement process determined by party rules. Ultimately, the party would have the authority to make this decision.

Does The Vice Presidential Debate affect The election of President and Vice President of the US?
Historically, it hasn't. (Republican VP candidate Dan Quayle was, by all accounts, defeated in the VP debate of 1988 by Democrat Lloyd Bentsen; but Republican presidential candidate George H.W. Bush still got elected, in spite of that.) What the vice presidential debate does is reinforce the beliefs and viewpoints that each presidential candidate wants to focus on. Often, the VP candidates are better at expressing themselves than the presidential candidate is; or they are better at articulating their party's platform. For example, Mike Pence is a right-wing conservative and a religious Christian, so he appeals to the segment of the Republican party that may not like how crude Mr. Trump is, but who want to vote Republican. Mr. Pence was able to speak to that group in a way that Donald Trump cannot.Often that is the role of the vice presidential candidate: to explain the best reasons why the voters should consider the Republican or Democratic ticket. But in the end, for all of the good work the VP candidates do in explaining and promoting their party's talking points, voters generally base their choice on the top of the ticket-- in this case either Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Trump.

Are people who vote for a pro choice candidate guilty of a sin?
A Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil, and so unworthy to present himself for Holy Communion, if he were to deliberately vote for a candidate precisely because of the candidate's permissive stand on abortion and/or euthanasia. When a Catholic does not share a candidate's stand in favour of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons.
