Are Trump’s grass roots Jewish supporters the election’s dark horse?

“Trump is someone who’s worked with the Jewish community his entire life and has family, including his daughter (Ivanka Trump) and son-in-law (Jared Kushner), who are both observant Jews,” Greenwald said. “The smearing of Trump as anti-Semitic is just outrageous.”

JewsChooseTrump.org has steadily grown with Jewish supporters of Trump from across the country signing up to express their solidarity and looking for ways to get involved. The website has had over 78,000 visitors and over 1,000 people have signed up to publish their names, Greenwald said.

Out of the over 1,000 names registered on JewsChooseTrump.org, a significant portion of them - roughly 15 percent - are from a localized area around Boca Raton, Fl., Greenwald said.

Home to one of the country’s largest Jewish communities, Florida is likely to play a key role in determining who wins in November. Greenwald says her group plans to contact people on the list in important battleground states like Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania and encourage them to speak out in favor of Trump by writing op-eds, handing out literature and speaking at Jewish events in their community.

Beyond that, Greenwald and Allen said they’re planning on launching a “Rabbis Choose Trump” group soon to reach out to more Jewish voters. The group also started selling a limited edition “Trump Kippa” to “show off your Jewish and patriotic pride,” with 10 percent of the proceeds going to help lone soldiers serving in Israel.

As the election nears, Greenwald said they wish the outpouring of support will translate into action to “get the word out that Trump is the pro-Israel candidate and hopefully have an impact on the election.”

Moderately long article, good read ...

Maybe the NE Jews are starting to wake up that the Dems have never had their interests at heart.

“The smearing of Trump as anti-Semitic is just outrageous.”

But expected. The Dems are desperate.

I personally know a few left-of-center Jews who will be voting for Trump. They they don't advertise their support. Wouldn't surprise me if Trump gets a % of the Jewish vote that's lot higher than expected.

Outstanding video. I just sent it around to many who are bound to have conniptions over it.

I didn't realize I was a “dark” horse...oh-oh, the Dems will kill me for using the word “dark”.

Jews SHOULD vote Trump but their knee-jerk, automatic response is to go back to the Shtetl and see all Conservative leaders as a (and here's a popular term) “Fascist” will just happen.

I am a Conservative, NRA, cigar chomping (like Gen. Curtis LeMay) Jew who loves America and loves Israel. I have tried in vain to pull my brethren out of the Democratic gutter but I know the majority will vote for candidates who hate them...go figure.

Some things never change...

[BubbaJunebug]

Not only Trump but Steve Bannon. I’m wondering how far this will go.

Some Jews love abortion so much they will still vote for da Hilda-Beast.

[Netz]

It’s damn frustrating!

[datricker]

My family too i have been yelling at these LA based jewish friends for the last 8 years no changes they will vote hillRey. They have been warned about her though at this point

[Netz]

I wouldn't say it is hopeless but nearly. Liberals and I mean terminally ill Liberals (many Jews) suffer from mental terminal hemorrhoids and are fixed in their worldview.

I have tried to persuade and argue with them,, my brothers & sisters, my Jewish folk but they, they are frozen in time, frozen in the FDR and Vietnam molds.

I have not given up on them and I have convinced a very small minority BUT, I cannot stop trying to tell them to stop voting for those that hate you and find your spineless approach disgusting.

It is no bizarre fact that Israeli Jews almost all favor Trump. What's the difference you ask? The Jews of Israel are more reality based because death is always close at hand and they know how to handle nasty doses of reality.

American Jews? Many could not fight their way out of a paper bag I am sorry to say...

[faucetman]

And yet AGAIN, the Jews will vote for Democrats.

Remember the Jews from the Old Testament? They haven’t learned a thing.

Building golden calves in their basements as we speak, (just not on Saturdays)

[Thickman]

The average “racist” cares about Isreal more than irreligious, American jews.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Copy the link and send it to all your contacts and ask them to do the same. That way, we can get the message out.

[Pollard]

Mar Lago is down in Pal Beach and Trump fought the elite to be able to get Jews and Blacks into Mar Lago. Some of them must remember that.

[stylin19a]

There are approx. 6 million Jews in the U.S.
How many are of voting age ?
Jew by themselves cannot sway an election.
