Andrew Gillum makes appeal to Jewish voters, and Jewish leaders vouch for him
Sun Sentinel ^

Posted on 10/07/2018 6:43:20 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

“Folks who would spread mischaracterizations about who I am don’t know that I’ve been to Israel three times,” he said, proclaiming that “I don’t have to stand up and defend my credentials and my relationship with the Jewish community any more than Michael Bloomberg would need to do up here, except for, maybe, our last names.”

Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York and a prominent Jewish leader, had just delivered a speech supporting Gillum’s candidacy. “It seems to me this is a very easy choice for the voters of Florida,” he said.

Bloomberg, the billionaire founder of a financial information company, just donated $250,000 to Gillum’s campaign.

*****

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, said she’s known Gillum for years and vouched for him. Wasserman Schultz, the first Jewish woman elected to the House from Florida, is a former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. Sunday’s event, at a synagogue at the Century Village condominium community in Pembroke Pines, was in Wasserman Schultz’s district.

I want to know how this gun-grabbing socialist is polling so well in Florida. This guy scares the crap outta me. I can’t believe we would elect him. But his polls consistently show him beating deSantis.

Astounding considering Trump was the one to get Jews and Blacks allowed into the ritzy part of Palm Beach starting with Mar A Lago.

I’m glad the candidate supports Israel but anyone Bloomberg campaigns for is still suspect in my book. Bloomie’s a very successful man but hi oftrn supports some awful things including he’s funding lots of anti- 2A krap — I think it’s the height of arrogance to go around the country trying to pick off and , in effect, buy elections ———- stay home and support your politics there!

The problem is hardly anyone in Florida knows what he really stands for.

I have seen a few Republican ads and they are basically bland. None of them mention his radical views.

Hopefully it’s for the same reason Hillary polled so well. When a pollster calls a liberal, the liberal will babble on and on about how much he loves his candidate.

But when a pollster calls a conservative, the conservative will usually just hang up. Because the conservative has work to do.

“Bloomberg and Li’l Debbie fire up the troops for Gillum. “
_______________________________________

It’s a testament to the stupidity and stubbornness of peoples who pride themselves upon their races or faiths as their sole identifier, that they can be fooled over and over again.

If I recall correctly, that’s how Maddoff (sp?) was able to con so many people. They all relied upon him being one of ‘them,’ aka a Jew. They figured surely he would never betray their trust with what they value most in this world, their monies. I recall one father having fits because he lost a good deal of his enfant sons money. His enfant son was going to come into millions as an adult and he wanted him to have 2 or 3 times that and then was irate he, the dad, was ‘taken advantage of,’ through the Maddoff scheme.

And what struck me was they said he was ‘one of them,’ and they trusted him. Like he was the salt of the earth. Guess they never read their equivalent of the Old Testament or they’d have seen evil is in all races and faiths.

Sheesh. Ron DeSantis better get his tush in gear.

Maybe they’re afraid of the damn media calling the “racist” again. Look at the fuss when DeSantis said that “monkey up” remark, for example.
