Not all demographic shifts are against us. Consider this, in another generation current trends could mean that NYC Jews become a GOP voting block.

When Baraq Obastard announced his support of gay marriage black pastors across the country publically berated him and many went on national television saying that they could / would not support him in the upcoming election.

He lost less than 1% of the black vote over that. I will believe it when I see it.

Now that they have been identified, they will be attacked by the marxists and if need be destroyed.

Possibly a reason behind the effort to ship a lot of those illegal children being held in the SW to NYC?

Heads were being scratched about that, last week. But using them to counterbalance a rightward political shift by NYC Jewish citizens would make sense in a way that would appeal to guys like Di Blasio ...

In some parts of the City, Jews’ve been voting Republican for decades. Why? We don’t all have a death wish, only most of the rich, assimilated ones.

Your add-on to the title in parentheses (Jews to become GOP NYC Voting Bloc), though I wish it were true, is rather premature at this point.

What the study indicates are demographic trends some people here have been picking up on for some time. These trends appear to be favorable to the GOP in NY State (the survey takes in some NYC suburbs as well). A significant movement to the GOP by the state's Jewish voters could happen, but one necessary factor will be for the state and local GOP parties to actively cultivate and organize the potential vote here. This article should serve as wake-up call to them. But unfortunately, for the better part of a decade now, the New York state Republican organization seems to have been missing in action, generally speaking.

It seems to be a looong slow evolution. I have fond memories of my dear old Dad and I being involved with Pres. Reagan’s campaign back in 1980, when I was with the Young Republicans. The night before the polls opened on Election Day we set up a “goon squad” to put up Reagan posters all over the place. All night long I tore up the streets of Rockland Cty, NY in my 68 Charger loaded with those posters, many of them with his name printed in Hebrew that went up in the Hasidic neighborhoods. Not only did the Orthodox communities overwhelmingly vote for Reagan both times, though not a majority, a significant number of more liberal Reformed Jews as well. I consider it a sense of pride that I’ve had at least a small part in convincing many of my Jewish bretheren that it’s OK to leave the dem plantation.

A fertile soil for the Republicans to work with if they have the savvy. Incidentally, the vicious knock out game is being done on Orthodox Jews who are likely to vote Republican anyway. This is reminiscent of when the Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction times would attack black people to terrorize them into voting for Democrats.

So liberal democrats to liberal Republicans? That is a distinction without a difference.
