Re: I don’t get the Hispanic Catholic block swinging to the left, even before illegal immigration was a big deal.

One huge factor is Mexican TV. It was totally pro-Clinton, anti-Trump. Most Hispanics watching shows in Spanish only would not be getting the other side. And if they went to church, unless their priest was taking a stand against Clinton and her abortion loving and Catholic hating views, they would not have had anything but a pro democrat message painting Trump as an American Hitler who hates Hispanics.

Probably those that have to listen to Social Justice Homilies every week.

no....unrelated to religion....related to the ivy league schools they attended....and the snooty leftist apparent requirements that that entails. and the belief that the NY Times is still the same Old Gray Lady that it was many decades ago.

Two issues of the 1930's I believe the Jewish voter never overcame with the Republicans...A NAZI group in Long Island called themselves Republicans even though they were rejected by the party, and Jewish refugees fled NAZI Germany on a ship to the U.S. and were sent back to Europe and were not given asylum.

Jewish voters of the time and their offspring still resent this to this day and hold the Republican party responsible.

I like that answer

Quarter Mormons vote Dem just as quarter Jews vote GOP.

81% of evangelicals for Trump! Greatest margin than other presidents. I will boast in the Lord for bringing the victory!

[StonyBurk]

AMEN! I find it more and more difficult to believe anybody can read the Holy Scriptures and support the Democratic Party.

[CPT Clay]

How ironic, it is the left that aligns more with the kleptocrats.

[sasportas]

They, the Dem national convention, voted God out in the last election cycle. It is impossible, in my view, for a Bible believing Christian to be a “vote God out” dem.

. . . which only make sense, given that FDR was POTUS at the time

</sarcasm>

Seriously, tho, discrimination was no joke back then. And I’m not sure it was all Democrat.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

A large number of them are non-religious. They were born Jewish and that’s about it. And a lot of them live up North, and so are just basically like most of your other non-religious folks up north: Dems.

[bgill]

I only see my Jewish cousins at funerals. They are realtors of the who’s who so are far from stupid but I’d lay odds they voted for Hellary. It boggles the mind.

Herbert Hoover was President from 1929 to 1933.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Herbert Hoover was President from 1929 to 1933.

. . . and left office just a couple of months after Hitler first entered office. FDR’s tenure in office was just short of being coterminous with the tenure of Hitler, on both ends.

[ReaganGeneration2]

Well, Mormons don’t believe the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are One God. Don’t ask me how, but I betcha that explains some things on the margins.

Not sayin, just sayin

More will be revealed later...

What's not to get? Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and other Latinos tend to go Democrat, just as other immigrant groups did. If some other group replaces them as the biggest and most recent immigrant group, they'll turn away from the Democrats.

Reagan (1980, 1984) and Bush (2000 and even more, 2004) took a larger share of the Hispanic vote than Republicans usually get. Romney (2012) and, in three-way races, Bush (1992) and Dole (1996) got fewer Latino votes than Republicans usually get.

Now that I think about it, Hispanics swung with the rest of the country. Winning Republicans cracked the high 30s up to 40%. Losers got stuck in the 20s. This year Trump didn't break out of the 20s because of the many recent immigrants.

The issues are indeed historic and go way back to the New Deal and what the DemoncRATS were doing throughout the Depression. I do not believe that the Jews historically (and incorrectly) vote DemoncRATic because of this German Bund type party at all. The Jews who were turned back on the St. Louis ship were turned back by the DemoncRATs, not Republicans.

No, it goes deeper than this. The Jews favored FDR because he was perceived to be standing up for Labor and the little man. The Jews as a group were still discriminated against in the workplace, higher education, land zoning and many other fields at that time so they looked to FDR as a sort of liberator and savior. The Jews of today were influenced by their parents’ and grandparents’ generation. The entire Baby Boomer Jews were heavily influenced by JFK, the Vietnam War and that lack of trust for the Republicans as seen in the Nixon/Watergate/Resignation years (1968-1975). That distrust and cynicism for Republicans (as too Conservative, in bed with the Christian Right and leaning towards Fascism, even) is why today's ignorant Jews still vote DemoncRATic. Couple all of what I wrote above with assimilation, moving away from traditional Torah/Bible values and supplanting Torah with the MAGIC word...JUSTICE and you get an ignorant Jew who protests on behalf of the murderous Paleostinians and fight for LGTHBQRST rights!!

In short, the Jews cannot be blamed for suffering from a major case of Terminal, Liberal Hemorrhoids...
