JTA - Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidency rolled out its Israel Advisory Committee last week -- no one noticed.

But also, his Israel Advisory Committee consists of exactly three Jews, including two who work for him.
Not much news here, move along.
Trump’s unusual campaign extends to its Jewish outreach, or rather his lack of Jewish outreach resembling anything that has come under that rubric in other campaigns.

That's the essence. You want to come on board the Trump Train? Great!
There's no room for your socialist baggage, though.
I get along with everyone until they give me reason NOT to.
Mark Twain said, “I have no color prejudices nor caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. All I need to know is that a man is a human being, and that is enough for me; he can’t be any worse.”
Twain was a better man than I. I have creed prejudices. All I need to know is that a person is a leftist, and that is enough for me: I don’t want to get along with him. I want him flogged, branded, stripped of the franchise, and restricted to the most menial employment.
