Sooo,
Instead of what 88 percent of American Jews voting Dem,
86 percent will?
Sorry, I don't believe it.
A significant majority of American Jews despise white American Conservatives, even though we are the least anti-Semitic - and most pro-Israel - political group in the world.
I have to ask, what is it with self hating Jews? I mean, being a Democrat means having to hate Israel, hate capitalism, hate hard work, etc.
Dems lost 3%; GOP gained 1%. Maybe the 2% felt the Dems weren’t left wing enough...
Most Jews live in the major cities which are bastians of the hard left statists. I think their politics are a reflection of where they grew up and the leftist educational establisment.
When I worked for an Israeli company in the US I attended many social gatherings. At one a Jewish woman told me, “(George W.) Bush has been so good to Israel.” A moment later she lamented that, “Bush is such an idiot!” I think that was in regards to GWB not being a liberal or supporting liberal causes. (Actually, he did some liberal Looney things towards the end especially, like killing capitalism to save it or whatever his excuse was for TARP.)My point is, they may not identify as Democrats anymore, but they, at least the ones I knew, were screaming liberals. They won’t vote Republican. The most we can expect is that they don’t vote.
Ted Cruz with his steadfast support of Israel and his outreach to the Jewish community likely has a lot to do with this. If only other Republicans had Ted’s foresight and charisma.
In America leftism trumps their religion.
Giant 3% shift coming.
They should feel comfortable in the republican party there is hardly any difference beyond the spelling.
They do not know there is now a one party system; the republican party died from suffering a long terminal illness on 1/6/15, and they are now associating with a perfumed soaked decaying corpse, it will take time but they will eventually recognize as the perfume wears away, the distinct odor the rotting stench of a dead political body so familiar when they were democrats.
The Talmud stresses altruism as an important virtue for Jews. Altruism is one of the pillars of libtardism,along with collectivism, and statism. Once Jews have been convinced that altrusim is an important virtue, it is easy for them to take the next step and support statism as a way to require everyone to be altruistic.
As someone who is married to a Jewish man who had been a conservative libertarian since college, and who raised conservative kids, moving to Arizona, allowed us to be with “our people.”
Just last night, at the screening of historian Dr. Larry Schweikart’s documentary “Rockin the Wall,”
Schweikart received monetary funding for the theater event from Bruce Ash, a leading Arizona’s Republican National Committeeman ( with two other local conservatives) who is Jewish, through talk host Charles Heller, also of the tribe.
We have a very popular morning talk host, Garrett Lewis, who is Jewish from New York. And we now have a Jewish and newly elected represented, Rep. Jay Lawrence (R-LD 23), who “is drafting legislation that includes a “non-citizen” designation on driver’s licenses issued to so-called DREAMers, given a pass —- along with their families —- by Barack Obama’s executive amnesty actions which enable them to avoid deportation.”
And here’s a little song a freeper wrote wrote, changing the lyrics, to reflect Republican Jews in Hollywood;)

Impala: To our fellow Jews who have regained some sanity, I say, “Flee, Baby, Flee”!
I wish more of us had done that in the 1930’s. Maybe I would have had a European side of the family to visit, other than in the ovens of Auschwitz.
