1. American Jews have yet to grow a collective BRAIN! Not to
(10.04.15)
say, that Mr.Trump is an appetizing proposition BUT: the alternative is much, much worse! For this you don't need to be a Nobel laureate...Smart as we claim we are, we hardly ever learn from history, (at least that's how it looks)
2. Wrong
George ,   New York   (10.04.15)
You have no facts in this article that show Trump has less support than usual you only say hear say and thoughts. I'm a Jew who likes Trump a whole lot and his Jewish daughter is pretty great herself. Imagine the article I would write?
3. Wake Up American Jews
Texana ,   Texas   (10.04.15)
As an American Jew, I was horrified that the majority of Jews in the US supported Obama, who frankly hates the Jewish people. Trump is a friend to the Jewish people and a supporter of Israel.
4. American Jews... their own worst enemy.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (10.04.15)
5. "Jews traditionally vote democrat"
David ,   New England   (10.04.15)
After seeing the hatred obama has for the Jewish state, one would hope that they rethink their priorities during the upcoming elections.
6. Orly Azulay is a well known Obama boot licker defeatist
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.04.15)
7. Hussein Obama promised the world to Jews, did exact opposite
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.04.15)
8. Orly your information is passe
Benji ,   US   (10.04.15)
Trump is the best candidate. Obama was a huge mistake. The democratic party is in shambles. Trump will also attract the independent voters. You've stereotyped Jewish voters as a bunch of lemmings. We can do better than that.
9. US Jews support those who hate them
PatheticCommunity ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.04.15)
It seems the further Jews go astray from Jewish tradition and values they seem to end up in either La La Land or become Anti Semites, US Jews support African Americans Hispanics Moslem Immigrants all of whom have the highest rates of Anti Semitism no matter what they do the more those groups hate Jews ! and Who do they alienate the Anglo Saxon American who support Israel . Some 50 million adult Anglo Saxon Americans that voted Republican they have made their enemy. Who does love them a small clique of Hollywood and New York elites and even they whisper their hate of the Jew in their private salons . "Chosen People?" evidently chosen to be dangerously stupid "! Just like their assimilationist German Jewish counterparts were.
10. Trump is far from perfect but he is the best now.
Ron ,   Brooklyn, NY   (10.04.15)
All my friends in favor of Trump with the same notion that he is not perfect but he is not fake like all the democrats. A combination of wining ticket: Trump/Carson Trump/Fiorina Trump/Cruz Rubio is good but too young to stand up for the establishment. Trump will be the elephant in the crystal store (Washington) and that what we need now. To change priorities of the nation before it is too late.
11. Baloney! Large number of Jews support trump
David ,   New york   (10.04.15)
There is heavy support amoung identified Jews I, myself, plan to take my family to New Hampshire on yeshiva week to volunteer with his campaign After what Obama and Kerry did to Israel (and to America), we cannot allow a democrat to ever again win the presidency.
12. There is no American-jews, there are jews
James   (10.04.15)
that live in America. This american-jews are loyal to israel.
13. Trump would be a wonderful U.S. President!
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.05.15)
Trump is courageous, accomplished, patriotic, successful, doesn't use teleprompters... In short; Trump is everything the current U.S. president is not. Trump would be a wonderful U.S. president!
14. Cant read?
Gerd ,   Vien   (10.05.15)
You see that 80% are not!
15. Jews the Minority have to be Militarily Strong
Zechariah   (10.05.15)
The Jews with 14 million people compared to billions of Islamists and Opportunists have to be Militarily and Strategically strong the Shoah was a terrible result of a unarmed people with no state . The Arabs of Israel are too close to have a Militirized state and the Jews believe they have to control the Jordan Valley Area .
16. It's Unforturnate Jews vote Democrate
Tova ,   Canada   (10.05.15)
Jews like many immigrants think voting democrate will save their lives and support Israel. Jews in the United States and Canada are really voting NO support for Israel. With democrates like Obama, Hiliary Clinton Jews can say good bye to Jews. Republicans have been more support than most democrates. Having Jews in the whitehouse are just for show for Obama. In Canada the liberal government are even less likely to support Israel. Better of with Republican.
17. Democratic Firsters
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (10.06.15)
American Jews are democratic firsters. They are ashamed at being Jewish and their Jewish heritage. The ilk like Diane Feinstein and J-Street are more anti-Israel than Hamas. They are the cancer within. They where responsible for the denial of holocaust survivors being allowed into USA. Trump is better of with the Christian vote - who feel something for the holy land.
18. jews Vote Democrat
Mycroft Holmes ,   Bethesda, MD   (10.05.15)
A Yiddish Proverb say "When a wise man argues with a fool, there are two fools." "Jews earn like Episcopalians, but vote like Puerto Ricans." Milton Himmelfarb Jews have been brilliant in physics, mathematics, chemistry, medicine, economics, finance, and business; but are illiterate in politics.
19. vote Trump for president
lucifer69   (10.05.15)
Much better than Hillary.
20. Orly is not a journalist
jy ,   israel   (10.06.15)
She is a lefty looney femischmemi know-nothing and propagandist.
21. Hold your nose and vote.....
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (10.07.15)
Virtually any GOP candidate would be better than the drek we have in the Whitehouse now! A can of beer would be a better president than Hillary or Sanders The Commie! Trump is not my first choice, I much prefer Carson, Cruz, or Rubio; but if he is the nominee, I will give him my vote! Incidentally, all of them are staunch supporters of Israel!
22. #18...Not entirely true.....
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (10.07.15)
The Leftist Liberal self haters vote Democratic....Most of the Orthodox Community is solid GOP! Unfortunately, the Orthodox Communities in the US are a small percentage of the Jewish Population in the US.....Sad.
