While the overwhelming majority of Jewish voters voted for Hillary Clinton over President-elect Donald Trump, the Republican candidate still received the second-highest total Jewish vote for the GOP in the past 30 years, beaten only by Mitt Romney in 2012.
According to a poll released on election night for J Street by Democratic pollster Jim Gerstein, there is a bloc of Jewish Republicans it exists, it is small, but it is not going away.

Brooks also noted that Jewish representation on the Republican side of the lower house had now doubled with David Kustoffs appointment for Tennessee. Jewish Republican Lee Zeldin would go on for a second term in New York. Eric Greitens also celebrated a win as governor of Missouri.

Mmmmmm, I don’t think so. As much as I would like to agree, I am seriously doubting that 70% of US Jews don’t take their religion seriously.
According to our tradition, four-fifths of the Jews died during the plague of darkness, and the reason given is that when offered freedom, they wanted to remain in Egypt. Being enslaved has to be a very dehumanizing and deadening experience. In order to survive it, one has to pull back on that which makes us conscious, on that which makes us fully human. It is a form of de-evolution, self-suicide, really.
Even the percentage is the same today.
Then you haven’t looked deeper into it. Unless you call embracing the left-wing distortions of a religion the same as serious dedication to its principles?
Every election same shit
Spare me
You really don’t know?
It’s a fairly obvious
It’s not just how liberal Jews vote
It’s everything they have an impact in
An impact far beyond their numbers
Imagine if southern baptists had the same influence in media Hollywood and academia
The left would be dead and stanking
..lol....moderate on social issues freepers just shat themselves at the thought
I’m tired of paying attention to the Weinsteins and Speilbergs and Schumers of the world and their hatred of American traditions we cherish
I’m more interested in why good smart folks of Jewish heritage or religion buck the trend and see the light
There is a component there which is paramount to how we can win and survive ...nay...prevail....(hat tip Bill Faulkner)
It’s natural for me as a southern Christian to be pro America and western civ but when a Horowitz or Lapin or Schlapp does it they are reaching beyond the most well trodden path
That we can learn from
Don’t get your feelings hurt. I know a whole lot of Jews. I spent 10 years as the only Christian in a Jewish firm. I don’t adopt any left wing anything.
Most practicing reform Jews are life long, card carrying, straight ticket democrats. So shut up, suck up the truth and move yourself along.
Wrong, the VAST majority of US citizens living in Israel voted for Trump. They understand how the world works...
In Brookline, Communist Massachusetts where I voted, I think it was about 21,000 for Hitlery and 3,400 for Trump. The majority of Brookline (Brookline not Brooklyn) are members of the tribe, but there must’ve been a few Trump supporters besides me.
There sure are. One of the men I worked with was a generation older, fought in WWII actual combat, and had a souvenir Enfield mounted on his office wall.
No one much noticed it until Reagan came to town to speak and the SS spied it from across the street and rushed in to sequester it for the afternoon. It was only then that we found out it was loaded.
We'll never get an accurate answer until the tedious process of going through the voter registration and voting records is completed and we see how many aliens and deceased voted. This would be a monumental task, but it must be done as a first step if we are to have any meaningful solution to the whole Democrat fraud and cheating mess.
So you don't believe in an objective G-d Who has given the world objective universal commandments? You only believe in "American traditions?" Does that mean that it's the duty of every person, in whichever country or culture he may find himself, to be loyal to the traditions of that culture???
That sounds an awful lot like relativism. Not the leftist relativism of "let's all live together because it's all crap-ola," but the "right wing" relativism of "every people should have its own homeland and its own 'gxd.'" I've read your posts for a long time but I don't ever recall you invoking the One True G-d . . . only American values/traditions. Is the idea of One G-d too one world/race-mixing/commie for you?
No wonder this world is going to heck. And this idolatrous culture-worship is only going to make it worse, since our troubles are the result of Divine judgement. G-d certainly isn't going to mitigate those punishments if we double down with the local totemism.
I’ve often wondered why their politics is the way it is too. So far the only explanation I can decipher in my head has to do with their global history of diaspora. Jews scattered but most went to Europe. They have a long history of being treated very harshly by European countries, where Christianity was the dominant religion. And of course it came to a head during the Holocaust. I’m not “blaming” anyone and I’m definitely not anti-Christian or anti-Jew. I’m just stating historical reality. My theory (and that’s all it is) is that over the CENTURIES, they have internalized their historical “warning flashes” when it comes to politics. Anything that smacks of extremity they grow wary. In Christian America they experienced far less of it, but they still faced some. So much of Jewish history is suffering brought about by political dominance of other groups. I honestly believe they think they are always at risk of falling into another period of it. Even though America was kinder to the Jews than any nation in history, the tripwire is always ready to flip to them. For American Jews, many are now “nominal” Jews. Politics has seemingly supplanted religion for them. And they use it to fight against what they PERCEIVE as “oppression.” That’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
Coupled with that is the fact that Harry Truman called for a homeland for Jews and recognized Israel 11 minutes after it declared itself. He did so in opposition to the U.S. state department, who were afraid of offending Arabs and their oil. Truman responded he would decide his policy on the basis of justice, not oil. That probably spoke volumes to them. They have stuck like glue to the Democrats ever since.
“but when a Horowitz or Lapin or Schlapp does it they are reaching beyond the most well trodden path”
and don’t forget the great paleo-conservative philosopher Paul Gottfried
What’s it like to go through life on emotion unimpeded by logic?
Well he must be a racist I guess....lol
If he loves traditional America and not the new world order of a 1970s Coke commercial
Which btw having just left Chicago looks more like Marching In The Streets shouting America Was Never Great....
But hey social justice may not always be pretty
Thanks, ExTexasRedhead, for pointing out the numerous illegal ways in which Democrats continually operate to deprive the American citizens of fair election procedures.
But sometimes, as happened in the presidential race this year, we luck out as all the election fraud and cheating they engage in isn't quite enough to make the ultimate difference in their favor.
So there won't be any voter fraud lawsuits filed at the presidential level this year, as they would be moot because Trump won anyway. But who knows how many state and local election contests the 'Rats actually did steal down-ballot because of fraud and cheating. Any candidate who believes he or she lost a race because of the election cheating and fraud should file a lawsuit if feasible.
The fact that Trump won the presidency, however, shouldn't obscure the need for federal legislation aimed at cutting down on the rampant election fraud and cheating going on across the country in future federal elections. Here's hoping that the Trump Administration will follow up on its campaign rhetoric about rigged elections and make attacking election fraud and cheating a top priority in its legislative agenda.
Well, today I heard 3 million illegal aliens voted, and before the election, we heard that 2 million dead were registered to vote (for Republicans no doubt)

True enough, and I believe the fraud is rampant. It likely even happens in districts that Republicans won anyway.
I also heard today that Republicans kicked so much @$$ that the RATs may well be seriously damaged...all the way down the tickets to city council seats.
