Republicans to spend millions in effort to split Democrats, Jewish voters

Republican groups reportedly plan to spend more than ever before in an attempt to court Jewish voters who historically vote for Democrats.

The organizations, led by the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), plan to spend over $10 million on the effort, according to Politico.

Republicans hope to exploit rifts in the Democratic Party over support for Israel while depicting President Trump as a stalwart defender of the nation, the news outlet added.

“This strain within the Democratic Party is making those centrist and center-left Jews who care about these issues feel more and more uncomfortable, and with the strength of Donald Trump and the Republican Party on these issues we believe that we’ll be able to bring those folks over to the Republican side,” RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks told Politico.

Florida has a lot of retired Jews. It only takes a few of them to swing an election there, as we know all too well.

just so outside their natural character. It's become so clear how little republicans care about people or the country and only seek to win to manipulate the rules in favor of their wealthy donors. They got nothing when it comes to good ideas to make this country strong and healthy. They don't even make laws in support of their favorite signature belief about themselves - a free market economy. Nope, everything they do is *against* the public good and *for* the wealthy, rigging the rules to keep it that way. Our future be damned.

Are there any rifts in the Republican Party over support for Trump?

will take black votes from Democrats.

they have no idea of Jewish Democrats being the base of the democratic party . to defeat the Democrats would mean defeating many of these Jewish people who are involved in party activism.
