Democratic firewall in Pennsylvania relies on high Jewish turnout

Lower Merion, Abington and Cheltenham municipalities within Montgomery County– the third most populous county in the state– all have Jewish communities that amount to 10 to 20% of the voter population, said Marcel Groen, chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, in an interview.

"It's a strategically located group," he said. "All of these municipalities have significant Jewish communities, and they represent our base, to a large degree– not exclusively, but its a critically important component."

Groen describes the Democratic firewall in Pennsylvania as reliant on three pillars: Suburban women, African Americans and Jews. High turnout amongs these demographics will determine the outcome in this massive swing state, he argued

There are probably hundreds of threads deconstructing Jewish support for D’s, but it basically boils down to a couple things:
1) GOP is seen as a Christian and rural party - i.e. the exact opposite of most of them.
2) A lot of Democrat Jews are either secular or atheist. It’s been my experience that the more observant they are the more open they are to the conservative message.

My oldest grandson is half Jewish. I love his Jewish mother so much. (and she is 100% Trump) . How can people of cognition vote for this criminal liar? I will never know.

those are probably true. also, as with any other minority group, they don’t see the rest of the country as “them”, so there is always a desire to change the status quo.

That’s a LIE .. Trump was doing very well in the Jewish communities.

[Maceman]

Ehat injunction? I can’t get the article to load.

[Salvation]

I think they probably did go to Trump.

How could any Jew B!%#*@ D could vote for Clinton is beyond me

[VanDeKoik]

He has a Jewish daughter and son-in-law.

I think that count for something if these guys have some bizarre notions that Trump is anti-Jewish.

[wattojawa]

If you are serous about this then more proof that God’s vote is Trump/Pence/Putin

Got news for ya. If your daughter-in-law is Jewish, her children are 100% Jewish. Not half Jewish. All Jewish, according to Jewish law.

I know you’re being sarcastic, but it’s not far off the mark. Hillary will get Jews killed, maybe not at Hitler levels, but she is not their friend.

I have several liberal Jews in my extended family.

They hate Christians first and foremost above everything else. That is why they feel right at home in the modern Democrat Party.

[KC_Conspirator]

Huh? I think it relies on the fraud in Philly. Even if most people could not give a damn about Hillary, someone is going to fill out their ballot for them.

[montag813]

If Adolf Hitler himself came back and ran as a Democrat, 60-70% of Jews would pull the lever for him...

This is at the root of the relentless push for multiculturalism and using politics and law to degrade Christianity and Christian culture wherever possible.

Multiculturalism in Sweden

D’s relying on three sub- groups that the D party screws over -—— one of these days the exploited sheeple will wise up. Lord let it be Tuesday

But most Jews vote Democrat, and I don’t get it. What is it about people (not just Jewish people) who become rich via capitalism and then become Communist? Is it to keep others from getting rich so they won’t have to associate with proles? I don’t get it.

[johncocktoasten]

My best guess would be that Roosevelt and Truman liberated the Jews during WWII. Similar to Johnson passing the Civil Rights Act and the long lasting Dem loyalty that resulted from that action. I certainly don’t think either is a particularly well placed love. However, the victors are the ones that write the history books.

“what can they possibly say to cause Jews to vote for them?”

Victimhood. It lead them to vote in Hitler. Some will vote in Shitlery. Most but some have brains and conscientious and will do the right thing. Saw it at the polls.
