Yeah, Cuomo “rounding up the Jews” in NYC just doesn’t sit well with many.
religious jews, but not the secular radicals.
The Jewish vote could help us out a little in Ohio, Florida and even PA.
But they are 2 percent of the population I think, with a large number in NY.
I have seen in the past people blaming the Jewish vote for losing a state or even an election, way back.
That’s absurd. People want someone to blame.
The smallest group is the easiest to blame.
And much more unfortunately, anti Semitism is still around.
Catholics are going to decide this election.
I am one.
I pray we do the right thing like we did in 2016, except with much higher numbers.
We get clocked on the Hispanic Catholic vote. I’m praying that changes this time around.
Thanks. But nothing really news here. The jews who are Jewish in their faith vote accordingly, meaning in accordance with moral values. Rhis election it’s R and Most definitely not D. The so-called jews who have abandoned their faith heritage in all
Meaningful manner have mostly substituted the “worldly religion” of leftism ( “progressivism” or whatnot). These ( effectively former) Jews will vote D since the D’s now espouse that kind of stuff. Noting it is sane in Catholic and Protestant communities - the more faithful mostly vote R and those that have essentially abandoned their faith heritages have similarly largely adopted the worldly extreme leftist “religion” instead. And they tend to vote for it, too. The far leftist Catechism contains a whole lot of outright anti- Christian, anti- Jewish, anti- moral bull crap — since Judeo- Christisn moral teachings are a core part of what communism/nazism/islamicism oppose or rebel against
Trump winning the Jewish vote is a heavy lift, but I do believe Trump will do better than the 31% Democracy Institute found. Last night’s NBC townhall was instructive on this issue even the question from the Jewish woman was a total softball.
Win the Jewish vote? Let’s not go overboard. After blacks, Jewish folks as a whole vote the highest percentage of their demographic for Dems at 73%.That rarely changes. Unfortunately, the Orthodox who are conservative, are a minority in that demographic. Best you can hope for is some Dem Jewish folks stay home on election day which is unlikely.

Wow — great. So Trump will get 80%+ of the vote in a demographic group that comprises about 0.2% of the U.S. population. With that kind of success he might get 0.1% closer to Biden in New York and New Jersey.
I guess we will see.
Orthodox Jews are a tiny, tiny segment of American Jewish voters. They are also concentrated in NYC and NYS, where leftists (and especially non-Orthodox Jews) will drown out their votes.
He’ll do very well with the orthodox but will lose the Jewish vote, they just don’t get it.
I think it is Ben Shapiro who makes the point that “Most Jews aren’t Jews.”
It’s a comment on the difference between religious identify and ethnic identity. For most ethnic Jews, their religion is socialism.
Just as Most Catholics aren't Catholics.
Certainly the Pope is in that group.
Trump doesn’t have to win the Jewish vote. If he gets 25-30% of it, he wins easily.
On the other hand, there are many people who count themselves as Jews but rarely go to synagogue. These tend to be "progressive liberals" who are only nominally of the Jewish faith. Some of them probably couldn't find Israel on a map.
I think this is why the Jews overall have a reputation of voting Democrat.
I haven’t seen this in my own family.
They are adamantly Democrats and nothing - and I mean NOTHING is going to change their minds.
We don’t discuss politics b/c they become so leftist so quickly, it is so deeply ingrained.
I would settle for 20% of the black vote.
If by ‘Jews’ you mean religious Jews, then probably yes.
If by ‘Jews’ you mean ethnic Jews who have little or nothing to do Judaism, then no. They are, for the most part, hardcore Leftists.
