How can any Jew vote for Trump?

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard this. Larry, how can you vote for him? He supports the BIG LIE? So naturally I say, which lie is that?  He is a racist, a misogynist an IST… IST and a Republicanist.

So let me answer this for everyone because I am not known to be an on the fence kind of guy. I AM VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP.

I WOULDN’T VOTE FOR HILLARY IF SHE WAS THE ONLY CANDIDATE RUNNING

I WOULDN’T VOTE FOR HILLARY IF YOU GAVE ME A SEAT ON THE BOARD OF HER SLUSH FUND, OH, I MEAN FOUNDATION.

I WOULDN’T VOTE FOR HILLARY IF I WAS FORCED TO WATCH AL SHARPTON RERUNS 24 HOURS A DAY FOR A MONTH.

I WOULD RATHER EAT NOTHING BUT KALE CHIPS FOR THE NEXT 10 THANKSGIVINGS THAN VOTE FOR HILLARY.

Got it?  Now here are the reasons. I was not a huge fan of Bush when he ran, but I didn’t like Gore and I was right about my instinct. He whined and he whined about losing the election, yet if he was so motivated to be president, why didn’t he run again when Bush’s popularity took a hit ?

In 2008 I begged anyone who would listen in our community not to vote for Barack Obama. I was called a racist, an idiot, you name it. My reason was simple. I had a very bad feeling about him his associates, especially his views, and I was right.

In 2012 the Republicans put up a Clorox clean candidate. Come on, he could have auditioned for the part of Dudley Do-Right and won. He looked like a president, he was wholesome, extremely successful, had a great bunch of advisers, and was very specific on his proposals. I heard much of the same from our community as I did in the prior election. He is a Mormon, he doesn’t care about anybody.  Th, tere is a war on women ….  yada yada yada and more yada.

This time the Repubs have presented a man who is rude, crude, a fighter, speaks plainly, is not afraid to take unpopular positions, but is an unvarnished lover of our country. Like Romney, he has a proven track record of success. OK, he has bad hair, but have you seen Hillary’s lately?

He is not a racist,.an anti -Semite, a secret KKK member or anything else that Hillary throws against the wall to change the subject from her corruption. Oh yeah, corruption. Have our communities standards sunk so low that we would accept someone who is so obviously, blatantly, universally understood as the head of a world class charity scam? Are you kidding me?

A friend of mine who is a Rebbetzin for the third election in a row is going to vote Democrat (big surprise) . OMG, Larry, I wake up every evening and worry about Trump if he becomes president, she says. Didn’t we hear this song before?  Hillary’s commercial against Obama in 2008 was questioning if he would be ready for the 3:30 a.m. emergency call that presidents get. Sound familiar?

We have the benefit, however, of one thing that Hillary Clinton and her acolytes don’t like to discuss: her record. It has been over 271 days since her last open (not controlled) press conference. Wonder why? For one thing, WE DO KNOW WHAT HILLARY DID WHEN SHE GOT THAT EMERGENCY CALL IN THE EVENING. SHE WENT BACK TO SLEEP, OR WORSE. Yes, Benghazi matters. Yes her foundations corruption matters, yes her lack of veracity (she is a compulsive liar) matters .YES ,HER RECORD OF “ACCOMPLISHMENTS” MATTER.  What are those accomplishments?

She has garnered enough frequent flier miles to support an entire government agency. After all, traveling around the world first class to raise money for your own personal foundation has its benefits.

The world really looks great after her tenure. The Middle East, which has never been known for its stability, is in tatters. Russia is slowly reassembling its empire. Oh, did you all forget about her “reset “?

Syria is an epic disaster.

ISIS is now in more than 30 countries and growing.

Libya is now ISIS, great job folks.

The immigration issue is real. I guess you all forgot when both Bill and Hillary Clinton said essentially the same things Trump is saying now .

Do you all really believe that there is no problem with Islam around the world? If that is the case, are you personally taking in Syrian refugees to your house, your neighborhood?  I DON’T THINK SO. Perhaps your inner common sense once in a while takes over. Is it racist to not want to take in refugees from countries that have populations that predominantly hate Jews and Christians? At least wait until we really can vet them.

Oh Larry, this is what happened during the Holocaust, the US and the world didn’t take in refugees. NOT THE SAME. I am done with people making comparisons of Trump to Hitler. Are you all crazy? Jews were sent back to Europe where they faced certain death. They were no threat to any of the countries that they were trying to enter. Everyone knew what was happening in the camps. The ugly truth is that many of the American Jewish leadership at that time slowed immigration of Jews to this country. Reform Rabbi Stephen Wise counseled everyone not to rock the boat with their demi-God at the time, President Roosevelt.

When Arab countries start taking in their own, I would take notice. However, as of today (Saudi Arabia), not one refugee.

Kuwait, not one. Etc. etc.  Want to talk about racism? Why are we only taking in Muslim refugees and not Christians?  The statistics prove this .Someone, somewhere wants Muslims and is less concerned about Christian refugees. Ever think about that?

Many are concerned about the Supreme Court for good reason. Personally, I don’t’ want a Supreme court stacked with conservatives or lefties. Balance is great, since the country is divided as well. However, nobody is talking about the real elephant in the room (sorry for the pun, Repubs). If Hillary can stack the court with her friends, the many laws that she has broken will all of a sudden not be broken. Get it?

We already now have the most politicized Department of Justice that I can remember. The State Department has gone from being called Foggy Bottom to the Bottom of the Hill—awry.

If she gets in you will have a permanent political class, and either you will be in or you will be OUT. Like the Former Soviet Union.

The end of America as we know it. Press freedoms?  Naaaah. Political differences? Not in Hill’s and Soros’ world. Facebook, Google, YouTube and others are all showing their biases regarding their preferred political speech. I DON’T WANT EITHER SIDE TO HAVE THIS MUCH CONTROL.  This is less about ideology and more about power-hungry,g Greedy pigs who could not care less about anybody but themselves.

Now does that answer your question?  I am one Jew who will vote for Trump or, for that matter, anyone but the RICO lawsuit-waiting-to-happen Hillary Clinton administration.

Please note: United with Israel does not endorse any political candidates.
