Multiple Democratic presidential candidates said Thursday that they wont attend the American Israel Public Affairs Committees annual conference in Washington next week.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, former U.S. Rep. Beto ORourke of Texas, Sen. Kamala Harris of California and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, are among the 2020 contenders who have decided not to attend. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who is considering an independent bid for president, will also avoid the AIPAC conference.
It comes as the liberal advocacy group MoveOn has called on Democratic presidential candidates to skip this years policy conference, saying AIPAC had tried to thwart the Iran nuclear deal and had employed anti-Muslim and anti-Arab rhetoric. By not attending, the Democratic candidates can demonstrate their progressive bona fides in an increasingly crowded 2020 field.
But it also gives President Donald Trump an opportunity to highlight his ties to the Israeli government. As the Democrats distance themselves from AIPAC, Trump said Thursday that it is time for the United States to recognize Israels control over the disputed Golan Heights.

Christians prolly vote ~50/50 rep/RAT where as American Jews by overwhelming numbers whole vote RAT
at least from the stats i’ve seen
Still not very relevant. The only thing that says is that religion has failed among that percentage of Jews and they prefer “secular” (left-wing) politics due to indoctrination.
And how many of the nominal Christians vote for RINOs?
I do not know why you evaded the word “nominal”.
BTW, do you think that the “Jexodus” movement is losing steam, or is not getting off the ground?
I don’t need your respect.
Don’t recall asking for it.
Have a good one
Worked with a couple Israeli emigres at different times years back and they could not be more different than liberal American jews I have been around and read about.
You’re the one commenting on what respect you believe is your due, not me.
For the most part, Traditional faithful jews who believe in G-d tend to vote accordingly, mostly quite conservatively. Assimilated Jews or JINOs (who have largely or totally lost their faith, or substituted secular causes for it) vote D. Whats interesting is that the first group is growing while the latter bunch are disappearing from history - as Jews and as people - as they assimilate to the secular culture, dont have children, go homo, go Buddhist, or just go loco
Dem Contenders are nothing more than Puppets On A String. The Commie One Worlders hold the string.
>> The Jewish voters need to rethink whom they are going to support.
Really? To pivot Right is to pivot towards Christ. That’ll never happen — they/most are committed to a never ending journey.
#2. Not any more. The Democrats have made more mistakes in treating Jewish voters like “dhimmis” and have taken them for granted.
I suspect the next election is going to hold some very great surprises for the Marxocrats.
* Omer, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez, the nut from Oregon - all minority groups but all anti-Israel. It has not gone unnoticed by Jewish voters in those states.
*Sanders, Gillibrand, O’Rourke , Gillum, Pelosi, Warren, etc. All anti-Israel. Not unnoticed by Jewish voters.
* Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Recognizing Israel’s vested security interest in controlling the Golan Heights. Trump going to the attacked synagogue in Pittsburgh and having a very sincere talk with its rabbi. Not unnoticed.
* Trump helping to destroy ISIS when Obama did nothing to stop them. Not unnoticed
* Trump fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda terrorist and guerrilla forces in central Africa (Mali/Nigeria/Niger/Chad etc TOOps), Somalia - tearing up the leadership of Al Shabaab with devastating air strikes; helping destroy Houthi and Iranian operations/Al Qaeda/ISIS in Yemen with air strikes; and generally supporting Egypt in its bloody fight with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula/Sinai/Saudi Arabia. VERY NOTICED.
* US helping the Philippines fight both a Moslem insurgency and a communist insurgency there.
* US standing up to and condemning the anti-Semitism at and of the United Nations. VERY NOTICED. A John Bolton/Nikki Haley joint legacy that had its precedence under Pres. Reagan with his ambassadors Jeanne Kirkpatrick and Charles (Charlie to his friends, I was one of them) Lichtenstein.
It is time for us Jews to remind our fellow foolish liberal Jewish brethren that Pres. Trump is a “FRIEND” of ours and of Israel (that is a foreign policy decision for the good of the US) unlike Obama who insulted Netanyahu on a regular basis instead of treating him with respect as a country’s leader.
A Blessing be upon our President and his family!
A whole catalog of plagues be upon the Democrats and the communist/Islamic/irredentist traitors.
Remember. It is Passover soon and the 10 plagues can happen again.
(Meanwhile the Democrats have their own version of the “10 Plagues” - Schumer; Pelosi; Warren; Sanders; Tlaib; Omer; Occasionally Sane Cortex; Schiff; Blumenthal; Hillary). May they all get a thousand painful boils on their collective red asses.
Dem precincts count absentee ballots that are sent in late.
Hence, "Count every ballot".
Not to mention, financed nuclear programs by repatriating Billion$ to Iran.
Oh, no. And we bought all that goat’s blood and bat giblets. What’ll we do with the pentagram napkins?
Maybe not in 2020. You don’t have to change your party to vote Republican.
whatever...
Sorry, President Trump. Heres why American Jews arent abandoning the Democratic Party.
