1. Pushing a very divisive issue....

2. its political poison for the Democratic Party

in case Sanders doesnt know. Its like he wants to destroy the party.

He's striking me more and more as a self-loather.

3. Repubs would love for this to be a wedge issue for Dems

4. It could potentially turn New York (and New Jersey) red, and give Trump the presidency.

Don't forget how badly Sander under-performed in New York (and how he had to suspend his Jewish outreach director).

5. Florida too

but more important than just the Jewish votes in these states, there is the issue of making it uncomfortable for large number of Jews who have been a highly loyal and active part of the party.

6. You can forget fundraising in NYC, LA and Miami. nt
