Trump will only win if he can deliver on his promise to make anime real.

Trump flip flops again.

The story has it that during the George H.W. Bush administration, James Baker proposes to his boss an idea that would go against Israeli interests. “The Jews aren’t going to like it,” President Bush says. Mr. Baker replies: “They don’t vote for us anyway—screw ’em!” Fast forward 15 years, when Rahm Emanuel proposes a different idea to his boss that would also go against Israeli interests. “The Jews aren’t going to like it,” President Obama says. Mr. Emanuel replies: “They vote for us anyway—screw ’em!”

Such, one might say, are the advantages of bloc voting for ethnic groups. Just as Democratic politicians assume the support of black voters, the Jews have been in the pocket of the Democratic Party at least as far back as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and though there are few Jews alive today who were old enough to have voted for FDR, they, the Jews, are still in that pocket. This despite the fact that we now know that FDR was not such a grand friend to the Jews, for he did nothing to stop or even slow the Nazi genocide of Jews during World War II, and instead, when told by Rabbi Stephen Wise of the death camps, counseled silence on the subject.

The best face that can be put on this unwillingness, bordering on a genetic-inability, of Jews to vote Republican is that Jewishness, if not Judaism, has at its center a hatred of injustice and a concomitant yearning for equality. All this, presumably, has been ingrained in Jews by their own long history as the scapegoats of tyrants. Being underdogs, the Jews ipso facto are themselves for underdogs. Republicans, traditionally, have been top dogs. Don’t, something in most Jews tells them, go there.

Older Jews, of whom I am one, have memories of so-called “restricted” neighborhoods and clubs—restricted meaning No Jews Allowed. They remember quotas against Jews put in place by private universities. I recall the writer Clifton Fadiman telling me that when he applied to graduate school at Columbia, he was told it wasn’t a good idea, for the English Department there already had accepted his undergraduate classmate, Mr. Trilling, the implication being that one Jew was enough. Large corporations in those days did not hire Jews, or if they did it was made clear that their chances for promotion were greatly limited.

All these arrangements against Jews—real-estate covenants, university quotas, job restrictions and more—were thought to be the handiwork of a WASP establishment that was, with only rare exceptions (FDR, Dean Acheson, Adlai Stevenson), at its heart, if not officially, Republican. To vote for a Republican now, more than half a century later, even though these arrangements are no longer in place, would for most Jews constitute a betrayal. They can’t do it; they simply can’t do it.

Irving Kristol also thought it foolishness for heavily Jewish-funded organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union to litigate against Christian prayer and symbols in national life, since the United States is a country that is Christian at its foundation and is overwhelmingly Christian in its population. Backing the ACLU and other groups in such matters, in the name of a utopian belief in a humanistic, therapeutic, universalist culture in which everyone will agree that none of us has any differences worth maintaining, seemed to Kristol what he called chutzpah—sheer effrontery and stupid in the extreme.

Sure, I'll look at the comments for you:

As I've repeatedly said to my fellow Democratic Jews, which party protested to block Netanyahu's speech to Congress...hint, it wasn't the Republicans.

Jonathan Murray 23 hours ago
This is the season for upheaval in traditional voting patterns, and Jews going Republican would be another good change. Obama has been actively hostile to Israel and its leader and supportive of the Muslims who would wipe Jewry off the face of the earth. Time to be honest about t.

Are you kidding?

Every nation in the world refers to ISIS.

Not our president.

Obama and his government call them ISIL.

Why?
The covert message Obama delivers when he says ISIL instead of ISIS.

And why does he say the Holy Koran but never the Holy Bible?
When referring to the Muslim terror super-group ISIS, President Barack Obama will use the term ISIL instead of their former name ISIS or current name Islamic State....
ISIS means Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

ISIL means Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

The geographical term "Levant" refers to a multi-nation region in the Middle East.

It’s a land bridge between Turkey to the north and Egypt to the south.

If you look on a map, however, in the near exact middle of the nations that comprise the Levant is Israel.

HE IS SENDING A MESSAGE TO MUSLIMS ALL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST THAT HE PERSONALLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS A SOVEREIGN NATION, BUT AS TERRITORY BELONGING TO THE ISLAMIC STATE.

Now you know why Obama says that he has no plan for dealing with ISIS.

Obama’s plan is to drag his feet for as long as he can, doing only the bare minimum that Congress forces him to do.

His “plan”to buy ISIS as much time as possible to make as many gains as they can.

The Islamic State has garnered millions of dollars, a vast cache of weapons, and have captured Syrian fighter jets.

With each passing day the Islamic calipate grows.

The end goal is the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel so Muslims can rule the Middle East.

Obama is not "hostile to Israel…?"
Genesis 12:3. states: “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

Impeach Obama before he destroys our nation.

I love how people are calling for Obamas impeachment even now

Like bro, the damage is done

A group of Donald Trump supporters over the weekend called for volunteers to join a would-be militia aiming to protect voters against so-called “violent far-left agitators.”

In recent days, violence at Trump’s rallies has escalated to match the candidate’s rhetoric. Last week, a man in North Carolina was charged with assault after he sucker-punched a black man. And on Saturday, police in Kansas City pepper-sprayed protesters outside of a Trump event.

Hours after a protester rushed the stage at Trump’s Dayton rally, a Twitter group called “The Lion’s Guard” called on supporters of the GOP front-runner to join a make-shift militia, according to RT.

“Do you want to provide security protection to innocent people who are subject to harassment and assault by Far-left agitators?” Lion’s Guard asked in a call to action. “If so, you are welcome to join. That’s the mission — to protect innocents who can’t hire their own security guards.”

Lion’s Guard said that their members would be unarmed, “but willing to forcefully protect people if need be.”

“We are *defensive*, *protective* of innocents who are being beaten and harassed for their political views.”

Within hours, the account reportedly had over 500 followers, and members were already asking for “uniform suggestions.”

RT noted that Lion’s Guard later suspended its account after claiming that someone had threatened the founder’s child. But the group also said that a website was being created to “make it easier to coordinate action.”

Have to go vote in Florida tomorrow. Also got a jury summons for the first time in my life where I'm actually gonna have to do it.

Is your report date 3/22 at Osceola County Courthouse? We could have the most awkward Bore meet-up ever if it is. 

[Human Snorenado]

Shit, Mandark discovered my NR pen name.

[brawndolicious]

If Trump loses Ohio tomorrow (looks like it's going to happen) then he apparently will have a very tough time getting over 50% of the delegates. So he'll just scrape by to the convention and basically it'll just be a clusterfuck where half the party will settle for him and the other half will be calling him a usurper.

In 12 months, the GOP will say it was a good thing that Hillary won by double digits because it teaches them that they really shouldn't go for a Trump like candidate. They'll consider it a teachable moment.

They are both god awful all-time great worst candidates. I know a lot of people who are more scared of a cruz presidency.

At least we all know Trump is a phony and would be just a random wildcard as president. We know exactly what Cruz is and what he will do and to some people that is understandably scarier.

This is Trump's face the minute he realizes he needs a thing called "congress" to raise 35% tariffs on Hondas.



And here is Obama's the day he turns over the keys 

[Stoney Mason]

I don't think it matters at all. This is complete ego stroke. All he wants to do is get the job and then yell at everybody about how much of an idiot they are. Actually doing a decent job he would either be completely incapable of or all the work would be delegated to actual policy heads and while he's basically a yelling machine that holds daily press conferences.

No chance, do you know this guy because you're talking out your ass right now?

He's literally the textbook definition of a micro manager. I mean this dude calls his people if somebody leaves a pop can in front of a building then drives around the block until they pick it up.

[Human Snorenado]

The last couple of polls in Ohio actually trended TOWARDS Trump, too, so he might manage to pull it out. Kasich was up 5-6 points in most polls late last week, then a couple came out yesterday that had them tied. There will be no contested convention.

At least know who's running for president in a better capacity then "he's a republican, boo"....fucking West Coast bringing down this country since 1920.

I mean I don't like Hillary or Bernie but I can at least credit them with work they have performed. Try that.

Cruz: nut, nothing else need be said.
Rubio: Useless and has a personality to match. Never ever votes on anything, ever.
Kasich: Killed Ohio's economy, wants to kill planned parenthood, wants to kill social security, etc
Trump: Has no fucking idea what he's doing, and for some reason people like that he sounds like me drunk at 3am when he's promising shit to his people.

My party is in shambles and still is likely to win this election. Scary shit.

Well let's go down the list shall we

1) Backed NAFTA which just cleared out, what, it's 6th auto plant in Ohio

2) Backed fracking and allowed heavy investments to come into the state despite being warned about falling gas prices. Now these plants/locations are idle or idling and have laid of thousands of people.

3)Killed a 400 million dollar grant for passenger rail service

4) Is in bed with Rupert Murdoch and is know to take advice from that shithead.

5) Canned 230 million dollars earmarked for renewable energy

6) Is backing a bailout of First Energy, 3 billion dollars worth, despite them being one of the most profitable energy providers in the country.

7) Killed Green energy and buildings, period.

etc, etc.

Guy is a walking deal killer who is so deep in bed with Big Petroleum that he probably spoons it at night.

Oh and his involvement in the whole Lehman brothers fiasco looks great on a resume.......
