Whether it is the Iran Deal, or the admittance of 100,000+ Islamic refugees, Democrats just seem to make life for Jewish Americans even harder. While fundamentalist Muslims may hate the U.S., they hate the Jewish population even more.
Honestly, is the Democratic Party throwing Jewish votes away? Keep in mind, there are a lot of Jewish people in Florida, and that could lead to some big ramifications.
I don't think they care about 1.7% of Jewish votes (actually even less because not all of the 1.7% are eligible to vote)
There are more things to worry about than what Jewish think... Democrats worry now more about young votes and Hispanics/Latinos who are growing population wise..
Jews are still a minority in Florida despite how much influence they have in media and many other things.

Did you mean the Republicans? Those bases favor dems not Repubs.
They are, but I don't know if Jews will wake up soon enough. I, for one, have, although I think Hillary would be better at taking care of terrorism than Obama has, or than her opponents would be. She's a hawk, after all.
I do know that less Jews voted for Obama in 2012 than they did the first time. And since then, many are growing disillusioned with him and the Democrats in general.

Jews inexplicably vote (D).
I even stated a thread on the subject;
My local newspaper, Newsday, recently had an article about this. Apparently there is growing unease among Long Island's Jewish community regarding the Democratic Party's (and Obama in particular) seemingly ambivalent attitude towards Israel. The general belief among the pundits intervewed was that Hillary would probably be able to repair things before a serious split were to occur. Bear in mind that many Jewish Americans tend to be relatively liberal - heck, Israel itself was founded by socialist Russian Jews - so it's not likely they will magically become Republicans like some previous posters here have insinuated.

The Iran deal is good for Israel. You shouldn't listen to lying Netanyahu. What does the admittance of Syrian refugees, who may be mostly Christians have to do with Jews in Florida? And by the way, the number is 10,000.

True!

Yep! Preservation of ones own people (family) vs. being a Liberal. Preservation wins most every time.
