Jews helped Trump win Florida
By Karin McQuillan
Hillary Clinton matched President Obama's historically low percentage of the Jewish vote, driving a third of Jews into the Republican camp, an unheard of percentage before Obama's pro-Iran policies. Obama also turned Jews off by his blatant personal antipathy to Israel's prime minister, so the question was whether Jews would come back as a voting bloc for Clinton, who is thought of as a friend to Israel by many Jews, merely by association with her husband.
The answer is no, Jews did not return to the Democratic fold.
The retired Democratic Jews of Florida were a crucial demographic Clinton had to carry, and she didn't, according to Lori Lowenthal Marcus, co-founder of jewschoosetrump.org.
The Jewish vote was important in three other key races, as evidenced by the ads run by the Republican Jewish Coalition in support of Pennsylvania's Sen. Pat Toomey, Arizona's Sen. John McCain, and Florida's Sen. Marco Rubio focusing on the Iran deal. All three won.
Trump also won the support of passionately pro-Israel Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who may have donated more than $75 million to fuel a much needed ad campaign, which ran on all the sports channels and elsewhere in the final two weeks before the election.
