7 Talkbacks for this article
1. Hillary Rodham Clinton has lost all credibility
(11.07.16)
On her watch, the State of Russia has generated multiple genocides, and civil wars.

Just so easy to recognize it.

No credibility - no vote!
2. "Russian" Jews
Gene   (11.07.16)
At least 80 percent of Russian Jews (American citizens) generally vote republican. I don't understand why nobody counts them in the so-called "researches" . They represent more than 5% of American Jewish population and in some locations majority.
3. Because we're so smart and yet so dumb at the same time.
(11.07.16)
4. Look, in 15 years time it won't be necessary to spend huge
(11.07.16)
amounts of money (Jewish or otherwise) in order to win the US elections. The white, European-descent population will be a minority and Democrats shall reign supreme. That's how "worlds greatest democracy" shall become a "Republic Banana Americana" of First Order...sad, but you know it's true.
5. Another reason
Michael ,   Massachusettes   (11.07.16)
The author omits one important factor...prior to
WW II anti semetism and rascism in the US were
significant issues and the likes of Harry Truman
and later JFK in the 60's (both Democrats) were
leaders in making Jews and Blacks more accepted in
American society while also prominent jews took the
forefront in the civil rights movement.
6. Beware of "polls" that underestimate Trump support.
Alan ,   SA   (11.08.16)
People who support Trump are intimidated if they admit Trump support. So how does one admit to ANYONE that he/she will vote for Trump.
He is accused of Misogeny Homophobia Racism > Supporters are said to be Antisemites
Hillary is paragon of honesty and virtue

I see the polls say 2-6% ahead for Hillary. Whats the margin of error given the above
7. Most of the Jewish vote was wasted
Eli   (11.15.16)
In New York and California the surplus of 4 million votes did not
help Hillary. In Florida they were offset by the Cuban vote, and
by Israelis from Florida. For some reason American Jews are
still misguided and keep voting for the Dems.
