In the past, maybe they were on the left because they were outsiders.
But since they’ve achieved success and social status, could be they’re now limousine liberals like upper-class WASPs.
Liberals. JINOs
Sadly, a great many Jews have always seemed to have an affinity for globalism and opposition to nationalism.
Maybe it stems from being without a country of their own for so long.
My best Jewish friends are strongly pro-Israel, and fully understand and emotionally agree with Trump’s efforts to ban or extreme-vet Muslim immigrants . . . but they cannot break with their democrat/U.N.-oriented politics. I’ve told them it seems insane, but it does not seem to register. So we talk mostly about our kids’ sports.
Sigh.
They get to spend their money for influence and make a fortune while we get to spend our tax dollars to defend Israel. A damn shame, Trump has been a friend to the Jews and this is how they pay him back and for a Clinton Beast at that. They come off as greedy whores and they wonder why there is so much anti-Semitism.
It’s too late to worry about their money, Trump is where he is because of our money and we’ll get him home with our money.
Go Trump!
I doubt this is accurate.
the socialistic Jews are still donating to the D party machine but the more moderate and conservative Jews are, from everything I can tell anyway, donating to Mr. Trump because they trust him 10000 times more than HilLIARy
and Mr. Adelson just today announced another $5 million donation for Trump’s campaign
Although I see many Clinton TV ad every night here in CA, I wouldn’t expect Trump to waste his money here. I haven’t seen any on TV here & am glad he is running a lean campaign. I am curious though, he has been puling in a lot of money lately - has he been running ads in other states? If so, how many ads has he been running on TV?
Well, no surprise there. Trump wants America first, end those futile wars I the ME. Not everyone likes that.
It’s like they want to go back into the train cars and death camps.
In general it is the Orthodox Jews that I tend to respect and trust the most.
Captain Obvious.
Jews vote Democrat big govt at 90 percent. They are control freaks.
YAWN... Whut?
American “Jews” are not even *for* Israel, so why would they ever be *for* Republicans?
Must not like how he backs Israel.
I’ve a hard time believing it.
Yeah, that’s not the word i was thinking.
Getting kind of sick of their bull ####.
If they were average income like everyone else it wouldn’t hurt but there are a lot of billionaires among the American Jewish population and their wealth to them should be a sign of how great capitalism is.
No. It seems like a way to use the wealth to attain one world govt or communism for thee and not for me.
If this was catholics donating by this percentage some here would already be out buying the crosses.
But we get “perplexing” here. How about the conservative Jews start putting hardcore pressure on these donators.
That’s a lot of ####ing money and it seems their wealthy seek to undermine the republic at every turn when it comes to voting and donations.
Great people with great, generous hearts but their agenda (which we have to assume by their donations) is horrifying.
I’ve told this before but my mom’s friend Ruthy, her husband took care of ALL of our teeth, five of us for years because pop was sick and we were dirt poor then!!
I knew as I got older that he was very liberal. Why? With a thriving and successful business, would he want to give a portion to those who do nothing. And he MUST have known he would make nothing if it was up to dems. This is 40 years ago, but these same principles still applied. How could since a kind man be so blind?
How can there be two groups of six million people who share the same religion yet are SO different in so many ways? I’m not counting Jews who live in myriad other countries. Israel and American Jews I am talking about.
Can Netanyahu talk to them at a meeting or something?
I’m only half kidding.
The HORRIFYING part is they’re one of the first to go in socialist or communist countries. And their money wont help them. It didn’t do any good in Germany except perhaps to have enough to get out.
They NEED to get back to the Torah bigtime.
In recent history (the last generation or two), liberal and moderate Jews’ main (stated) objection to the Republican party is that it’s turned too socially conservative, too “Christian” for them.
The strange thing about their aversion to Trump is that he does NOT fit that profile — he’s quite moderate on abortion and LGBTQWXYZ nonsense. And he keeps his faith very private. And his tax plan kicks azz for all taxpayers, across the board. And he seems to be pro-Israel and to have rational, realistic views about the Mid East.
So all that being the case, why their hostility to Trump? I’ve been trying to get to the bottom of it by questioning relatives and old friends and acquaintances, but haven’t received any satisfactory answers.
When I bring up Trump’s positions on the issues I listed above, they grudgingly concede the points and then mumble BS about him being tactless jerk and a loose cannon and uneducated about the issues and various idiotic PC pejoratives with “phobic” suffixes. Temperament and personality issues, mostly. Not so much policy. Many (but not all) even have no problem with the border wall or Muzzie immigration restrictions.
Bottom line: it’s still a conundrum. But relentless MSM brainwashing plays a big role, as do longstanding voting habits. They’re hard to break.
Some jews are filthy globalist traitors ! We must face it !
Specially the wealthy jews . Don’t care about those GOP jew “donors”
This is an old story
Curious, wasn’t it just yesterday we read Jewish VOTERS are turning to Trump?
