I work with an older Jewish guy who is a moderate Democrat. He's already named 5-6 candidates that he could never vote for including Bernie, Warren, Kamala, and Booker (he has a rather large retirement account and believes that they'll come after his money to pay for their insane policies). He will not vote for Trump regardless.

The one name that's missing is Joe Biden. While I know it's anecdotal, this scares me about Biden. He's one of the Democrat candidates that moderate Democrats will support. Now, he does say that so many in his party have gone so far left that he doubts Biden can get the nomination.

Biden can be worrisome in that the sane Democrats will vote for him but he’s really just a slightly left version of Mitt Romney. No one will be enthused to vote for him, then crazy left will stay home or vote for some 3rd party and the black vote won’t show up for him like Obama.

There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat. Only one that hasn’t obtained enough power yet.

Joe Biden was VP to the most left, progressive, and authoritative president since FDR. Joe Biden is a liar and fully supports a move further left when the cameras aren’t on.

Your Jewish friend is a fool.

This lack of research frustrates me. If one paid any attention at all, they would know that Trump is one of the most pro-Israel Presidents. Hell, look how bullish Netanyahu is about Trump. Never mind the fact that Trump's daughter is Jewish.


Baffling.
