Great read. You've definitely put thought into this i hadn't yet. All I remember is Trump did things "for Israel" that caused people to be upset. I just remembered any good he did was always negated by the fact that he was being spiteful and petty to others that kept telling him not to. If it doesn't help Trump or hurt his enemies, he's quickly bored and moves on. We don't know what he'd actually do and it's risky to bet on him again. And the B team of clowns he has around him probably plan to pardon and 25th amendment him to MAL so Musk, Theil and JD can take over. That's a scarier thought for me

Good article. Historically, I feel the majority of Jews in this country lean Democratic. Additionally, I feel anyone still considering Trump as their choice for President is "disillusioned". How can anyone take anything he says as truth? He literally will say anything to get votes. The sensible choice is to vote Harris/Waltz Nov 5,2024.

I voted for no one. Why would I vote with the choices? Absolutely pathetic choices in my humble opinion.

Well said .

I’m sure people will agree.

Personally

If in fact the Jewish vote is what’s determined caused Trump to fail , I would be honored and thankful .

Whenever we consider American fascists who seem to be rooting wholeheartedly for Israel, we should remember that this all has to do with some passage from the Bible (Revelation? I'm not looking it up) that links the return of Jesus and the End Times with an existing kingdom of Israel. I think we could count on Trump to whip up feelings against American Jews while simultaneously "supporting" the continued existence of Israel.

I agree it is major, potentially disastrous folly to support Trump, and I do not. Jews who promote him are displaying magical thinking. It could work out for them and Israel, but there's no guarantee it will.

On the other hand I have a major problem voting for a party that literally has a pro-Hamas wing, that even the moderates of the party are willing to tolerate in a "let's at least hear them out" manner. I cannot support anyone who will not denounce Hamas supporters in their own party, for fear of losing votes.
