Majority of Jews Voted Clinton, But Trump Received 2nd Highest Jewish GOP Vote In 30 Years
Breitbart ^ | November 10 | Deborah Danan

Posted on 11/12/2016 12:34:41 AM PST by ErikJohnsky

While the overwhelming majority of Jewish voters voted for Hillary Clinton over President-elect Donald Trump, the Republican candidate still received the second-highest total Jewish vote for the GOP in the past 30 years, beaten only by Mitt Romney in 2012.

According to a poll released on election night for J Street by Democratic pollster Jim Gerstein, “there is a bloc of Jewish Republicans — it exists, it is small, but it is not going away.”

...

Brooks also noted that Jewish representation on the Republican side of the lower house had now doubled with David Kustoff’s appointment for Tennessee. Jewish Republican Lee Zeldin would go on for a second term in New York. Eric Greitens also celebrated a win as governor of Missouri.

Considering how the media did everything they could to scare off Jews for Trump, this is very impressive.

Its also very hopeful to get some conservative Trump supporting Jewish Republicans into government, and from red states like Missouri and Tennessee. If the Democrat Party loses one of their few remaining demographic groups that isn't on welfare (and can give to campaigns), they're done for!

Buried lead:

Jewish Americans, Gerstein noted, “voted for Clinton more than Hispanics, and more than any other religious group including [those with] no religion.”

I’m done with them. Israel yes, US Jews, no.

How could anyone with a brain look at the depth of corruption that Clinton is utterly immersed in and still be willing to vote for that Jezebel? . God will judge them as co conspirators in extreme perfidy

There’s a philosophy. Je suis Barack, je suis Hillary. If the society will tolerate them, it will tolerate us too. Kumbaya, we are all nice and free.

Except when we aren’t, of course, and those shibboleth figures work tirelessly to bring shackles upon everybody.

Why didn’t they learn from Barack that the magic does not work?

you’d be surprised how conservative younger Jews are.

Plus, the Clintons, relative moderates compared to less senior Democrats, are gone. The radical and overtly anti-Semitic left will take the Democrat Party over. Bernie Sanders, a self-hating Jew, lost the Jewish vote to Crooked Hillary in a landslide during the Democrat primary. Rationalizing being Democrat will be become next to impossible. You watch.

Jews tend to be too smart for their own good. By the time they figure that their smarts led them down the garden path and they are well and truly up crap creek with no oar — it’s going to be consternation time.

For only the how many times since Abraham accepted Sarah’s plan to be impatient about their promised children? A hundred? It would be interesting to count, going through the bible and then through known history, the Jewish mistakes.

God is goofy fond of them, spares the chastening rod, until nothing but a Satan class spanking will do to get them sober again, it seems.

Unfortunately they forgot only too quickly which party it was who delivered them to the gas chambers. And by the way, even so I am not a Jew I strongly stand with Israel, always have and always will, but not necessarily with American Jews with many of them having lost their way.

I read 49% of Jews living in Israel voted for Trump, but only 30% voted. Bet the majority were Orthodox. By 2030, the majority in Israel will be Orthodox.

Trump needs to work on these voting blocks to get their support in 2020.

William Kristol's uncle, Milton Himmelfarb, had the best quip, "Jews earn like Episcopalians, and vote like Puerto Ricans."

Anyone have an answer towhy American Jews vote for the same form of tyranny that has historically marginalized, disarmed, and terrorized their religion?

Incomprehensible

My elderly parents seem to believe that today’s Democrat party is the same party that it was in 1960 (or in 1940, for that matter).

They are wildly incorrect about that, but there’s no way to convince them.

I managed to escape from that group-think, so did a couple of my brothers, but not my sisters.

I keep thinking that sanity will prevail, eventually (but I continue to be disappointed). Today’s Democrat party is the home of institutionalized, weaponized anti-Semitism. How can people not understand that?

I am suspicious of this statistic. How was the survey done? Exactly how was the statistical sample population of Jewish Americans created? If they surveyed Synagogues in New York, New Jersey, and S.E. Florida then the result is seriously flawed, overly skewed and meaningless. Were Orthodox Jews surveyed? What about Jews living outside cities?

Most of my Jewish Facebook friends have been quick to accuse any Trump supporters of racism, sexism and misogyny. I really don't get it. Are they really unaware of Hillary's hatred for Jews? I suspect these friends have ‘unfollowed’ me so as not to read my posts. That's ok, I will soon be unfollowing them as I don't need their rhetoric on my page.

My best friend now living in MD is very Conservative
It drives him nuts that almost all his Jewish relatives and friends are liberals

He said the main reason is they hate the GOP who they perceive as the party of Evangelical Christians

So the fools support the party that loves the Muslims

Go figure

My Jewish M-I-L said the same thing.....Republicans are too CHRISTIAN and that’s why she wouldn’t vote for them.
