I stand corrected, but my point remains: given a choice between dumping the Evangelical segment and telling anti-Christian Jewish voters to get over their bias, the rational choice is to tell Jewish voters "You're welcome to come over. We will not disavow a core segment of our support to make you happy. Get over yourselves."
If Evangelicals stay home, Republicans lose. They constitute well over half of the people who vote Republican.
I would also say the same to people who say the Republican Party must embrace Affirmative Action and more public benefit spending to not alienate the black vote, and illegal alien amnesty to attract Hispanics, and for similar reasons.
Well yes, seeking after the Jewish vote is straining at gnats. They don’t add up to much.
Which is not to say that our party needs to be the “Evangelical Party” in order to attract the votes of Evangelicals.
Conservative ideology should be enough to attract voters from ANY demographic - if they have conservative sentiments to be appealed to.
We don’t need to water down our Conservatism to attract the votes of, for example, Hispanics. Hispanics with first hand experience under Communism overwhelmingly vote for Republicans.
