Just heard the Rabbi interviewed and he said Trump is his president and he is a citizen and Trump is more than welcome.This thread is a fraud and should be ignored.

What Rabbi? There were three separate congregations meeting in that building.

Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice

They do not represent Pittsburgh or the Jewish community.

Soros’ son is a member of this small group of haters.

I wonder how much that level of support and non-support actually mattered.

Like, Florida. Were they the ones that put him over the top?

That's figures. And someone was claiming that Soros funds Judicial Watch...I think that's crazy.

They are on to him.

In FL it was likely higher than the national average because of the age demographic.

Did you mean to say that it was a very Democratic and Liberal City in a larger Red Area?

Also, most of the factories are long since torn down. Google, Uber, Amazon and a vast number of startups based on robotics and AI are near there - dollars to donuts a LOT of Jewish people work in those industries and in the top universities and medical centers around there.

The area has more blue collar jobs by far than manufacturing, etc.
It's a world-class financial and tech, etc. center....a example of the moderization of an old-line city.

You can look it up.

"A poll of Jewish voters released Friday shows Clinton enjoys a 43-point lead over Trump"

Not even close. Florida has a general 5 point GOP advantage when it comes to ANY candidate. That's the current situation, so for any Democrat to win (Obama, probably two this year) means that many of the Republicans have to be fed up enough to vote Dem.

As is stands now - odds say Gillum and Nelson will win Florida - Jews do help such things. Of course, odds are odds and only mean something if you are a betting man.

Anyway, US Jews are generally 70/30 in terms of voting patterns. In those 30% are the Fundies....that is, the more orthodox Jews. Seculars (Liberal) Jews are probably 80/20 or more.

Good God. There is more to life than money. Like life, for instance
