As a conservative Jew let me say: that is one dumb-ass thing to say to a roomful of conservative Jews.
Golux - it truely is a dumb thing to say to a Jewish audience. I watch and wait to see if this is really what he said or just spin.
In what way was it “dumb-ass”?? It wasn’t anti-semitic at all.
As a conservative Jew, was he your top guy before he said that?
When dumbass also means truth then I’ll go with dumbass. If a Jewish person is truly conservative they wont care about what’s in it for them and will vote for what’s best for all.
I agree. Trump is not unPC - he is simple one big mouth, with no brain engaged.
I just posted he also said he would not recognize Jerusalem as their capital. All those Jews present have friends, so he can forget Jewish votes. Cruz WILL recognize Jerusalem as their capital which means our embassy will be moved to Jerusalem.
I know for a FACT that Trump has been sitting down with many wealthy Jewish donors and he has NOT asked for money for his campaign. I also know for a FACT that Maralago - his club - has a significant (>50%) Jewish membership.
He’s being a New Yorker.
Thank you. I'm truly shocked at those who don't see this as a problem.

The article takes Trump out of context, but, for the record, this is the Republican Jewish Coalition which is filled with big money donors, most of whom are already funding pro-amnesty candidates. The board of directors include Sheldon Adelson and other people closely tied to the Bush campaign.
“As a conservative Jew let me say: that is one dumb-ass thing to say to a roomful of conservative Jews.”
Why? There are plenty of candidates running who will openly pander to any special interest, including the RJC. Trump won’t accept their money, so why would they support him. Their sole purpose is to influence candidates to support their causes. Trump said that he’d be a supporter of Israel - and doesn’t want their money to do it.
I think they want Trumps brand of honesty, even if they don’t support him in the primaries.
