    Yes, the Jewish people were very active in the Civil Rights movement. There were also lots of Christian White people active in the Civil Rights movement. I admire and respect them all. Their help was very instrumental.

    So, where is all this Jewish compassion for Polish Catholics who were killed in the Holocaust too, who saved Jews as the highest number of Righteous Among the Nations, and warned the World about the Holocaust with Jan Karski.

    Quite the opposite, Jews seem to often hate Polish Catholics.

    Heck, a good deal of them have blamed Poland for the Holocaust, including Debbie Schlussel, Giles Coren, Howard Stern, Jan Gross, Stephen Fry, Stephen Spielberg,
    or
    this nut below who says the Polish nation enthusiastically killed 3 million Jews.

    Where would have Jews gone, if Poland did not accept Jewish refugees being burned to death in Germany, during the Medieval era, and then Poland granted them civil rights in the Statute of Kalisz.

    I couldn't see less gratitude from a people than your ilk.

    Although Blacks come close in repaying Jews for helping them in civil rights, in the Crown Heights riots.

    Nah, it has nothing to do with that. Minorities don't vote for conservative Republicans because they are generally not conservative. 75% of Hispanics believe the Government should be bigger and provide more services, which is the exact percentage that voted for Obama. If your argument worked, many more Jews would be Republicans, since a lot of anti-Semitism comes from left wing sources and groups. Your talking point argument simply doesn't work.

    Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Asians and other minorities voting Democratic is far less of a statistical anomaly than the GOP being 90% White in an increasingly diverse nation.

    The number of Democrats who are White (roughly 60%) approximates the percentage of Americans who are White.

    Well, it was founded in 1909 by Republicans. The Jewish community contributed greatly to the NAACP's founding and continued financing.

    As for Hillary's "LOOK-I-HAVE-A-VAGINA STRATEGY" this appeals to a women of a certain age but it's not a big deal with Millennials. Now if it were a woman other than Hillary, they might be more excited, but maybe not. Millennials have been taught that gender is fluid. A woman today might be man by the time s/he is sworn in.

    It's no surprise that Blacks and Hispanics, often disparaged by Republicans, have little loyalty to the Republican Party. For example, the legislatures that attempt to limit voting by minority groups are 100% controlled by Republicans.

    As to Jews, they have a history of being persecuted, and it is easy to understand why they would identify with other persecuted groups.

    Here's a blog post that may shed more light on the subject: http://wp.me/p5LXzb-pK

    As Quinn underscores, "race" is a social construct, but there is a significant cohesion among those who self-identify with the convention or have it imposed upon them. Common values, common interests.

    It is difficult to understand how the 90% White GOP expects denigrating other Americans could possibly increase their ineluctably shrinking percentage of the electorate. Americans generally support the party that they perceive as better representing them.

    Trump is epitomizing the GOP into a reality real bigot and racist political party that is why Trump's strategy is against the GOP script Trump is targeting the white voters only what Trump is forgetting is that majority of whites are not like him they are not racist and bigots in fact it was that majority of whites that stop the bigots whites in winning the civil war of the 1800's.

    Trump maybe able to garner 65% of racist white voters but he will surely lose to the 80% of African, Asian, Hispanics and Native American voters. Just like Custer, he failed to see the unity of the American tribes this time the unity of the American ethnicity against the white bigot whites of Trump.

    Trump only way to unify the GOP is to sincerely and I repeat sincerely apologize for his racial attacks against the judiciary, against Hispanics and against Muslims and from all indication Trump is a proud bigot and will not apologize.

    Democrats support Israel? Really?

    The best friends Israel has in the U.S. Would be evangelical Christians. Liberals and Democrats tend to support the Palestinians, at least since the early 1970's when I began watching the news.

    Republicans don't give out as many government freebies, so blacks hate us.

    I love these posts where republicans ask why blacks don't vote republican and then spend pages insulting black people....lol, its hilarious.

    I'm bi-racial...but I come from a very large (and wealthy...gasp!) black family and my voting Democrat actually has zero to do with racism...I vote Democratic because Democrats tend to want to spend money and time more on institutions that will improve quality of life for the individual while republicans tend to spend time and money on institutions which will improve the military and benefit corporations.

    The number one way to help all poor people...regardless of color...is education. I hate affirmative action and quotas...those systems attempt to fix bigotry AFTER its too late. The problem, however, is that the country is decimating education...particularly in the inner city. This effort is largely led by the republicans. And it means that poor people cannot get onto a fair playing field. From the time they start, they are crippled. They cannot compete...they have no tools to do so. This creates a circle of injustice and gives bigots the means to defend their thought process. (ie "Blacks are dumb", "blacks want handouts"...etc)

    I support Democrats because I want to see education improved and they're more likely to do it. I also want protections under the law against those that would discriminate based on ethnicity, religion or gender. We don't need any more evidence than this election cycle that many right-wingers do not care about the rights of people who are not white, christian, straight and male.

    I vote Democrat because I'm less concerned about a strong military as I am about a strong country. We don't need enemies...we're destroying ourselves from within.

    I vote Democrat because they tend to care about workers...not corporate interest. I'm sick of right-wingers complaining about welfare..which is a tiny portion of the GDP...while they allow HUGE corporate subsidies to companies that don't even pay 1/4 of the tax rate that I do. As a business owner, every single day I see the abuses that large corporate interest inflicts upon innovative people who are trying to start and maintain businesses. I would never vote for a party that rages about normal inflation raises to the minimum wage while they defend CEOs salaries increasing hundreds of times over in the same period of time.

    As a minority and a woman....I know that the best way to raise people out of poverty, no matter what color they are...is to invest in leveling the playing field. Equal access to education, business loans, housing and resources...and I have ZERO faith that republicans care about any of those things. In fact, I believe they'd like to tear down the few laws I have protecting people like me from being treated unjustly. I need no more evidence of that than trump.

    So you can claim that I'm biologically challenged due to my race...or that I'm just following the herd...or whatever other insults that right-wingers want to throw out while they whine about minorities not accepting their line of crap. But I'm one of those minorities that right-wingers truly hate...I'm very well educated, successful and I've bred little beige feminists.

    And I'll sending money to...working for the campaign of...and voting for...The Democratic Party.

    Oh,but Abraham Lincoln, and Ulysses Grant weren't bigots?

    Explain why Abraham Lincoln said that he'd deport every Negro to save the Union?

    Explain why Ulysses Grant had an expulsion of Jews in General Order No. 11 (1862)?

    Contrary to your Canadian Liberal views Trump attracts more than just bigots.

    If you don't know, the U.S.A has seen much of it's ,manufacturing base shipped off to countries like China, Mexico, Vietnam etc.

    Trump's standing up to this issue, while Hillary Clinton just stands for the status quo who sat back, and allowed the American manufacturing economy to be exported.
