If yarmulke sales are any indication of voter attitudes, Donald Trump was the clear winner at AIPAC on Monday night.
Marc Daniels, a vendor selling campaign logo kippas outside the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference in Washington, D.C. on Monday evening, said the “Donald Trump 2016” cap was his most popular item by far.
Daniels said he was “inundated” with requests for the Trump yarmulkes from conference-goers and sold out almost immediately.
“I totally underestimated the degree of support that Jewish people who are attending this event have for Trump,” said Daniels, who runs an online yarmulke shop called Marc’s Garden Jubilee. “I probably had about 50 inquiries for Trump yarmulkes that I could not fulfill.”
Daniels said he sold two or three Ted Cruz yarmulkes and three or four for John Kasich. By 8 p.m. on Monday, the vendor said he only had Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders caps left over, and was finding those tougher to unload.
Trump, Cruz, Kasich and Clinton spoke at the AIPAC Policy Conference on Monday. Sanders did not attend the event.
Smiling big time.

Gotta love it. I wonder if they’re just kept as souvenirs for the day, or see further use afterwards. It would shake up a lot of synagogues if those were worn to services.
Serious question: is there a way to filter out any post headline containing “trump”? does anyone have suggestions?
Ha! Love it!
There’s no safe space on FreeRepublic from TRUMP. Sorry.
Don’t read FreeRepublic then.
Love it!
Make America Great Again
to the opposite side, He could market them nationwide.
Not just yarmulkes but the best, most spectacular, absolutely the most fabulous yarmulkes ever offered in the entire history of Judaism.
Oy! Just in time for Purim!

Serious answer: NO! (but you could always just log-off or opus out)
Now THAT’S awesome!!
The applause...which the AIPAC leaders apologized for...was also an indicator.
I think it is great to see these Trump Yarmulkes in contrast to that apology.
Clearly, there are plenty of conservative Jews who want a leader who will stand up strongly and resolutely to the Islamic terrorists.
There are plenty of them who clearly believe Trump will do that.
Sadly, many/most of the secular/liberal Jewish loathe it.
