I've been waiting for the howling mob to turn on il drumpf and tear him apart

I believe that by trying to disavow the hatred and violence, he will turn them against him. Bibi must now take a long, hard look at who backs his best buddy. There's no way to escape that choice. This is a watershed moment.

but he is going to step up his rhetoric on immigrants and the border crisis. The temple shooter didn't like Trump because he wasn't radical ENOUGH. Lots more like him out there that have never needed Trump to drive their crazy train.

4. Bibi ... take a hard look? Doubt he's given it much thought.

His own "list" is none too different, IMO. The majority of American Jews are Liberal Democrats and from my Jewish friends, don't think a whole lot of Bibi.

"Two prominent Jewish donors to the Republican Party announced over the past days that they are cutting their ties to the GOP because of U.S. President Donald Trump. The two donors, Seth Klarman and Leslie Wexner, have both contributed millions of dollars to Republican groups and candidates in recent years. They are both also known as major Jewish philanthropists and supporters of Israel."

Once the heat is off, he will go back full bore to his dog whistling and they will adore him.

Trump is their authoritarian leader. They don't worry for a moment that their leader's calls for peace and tolerance are sincere.

knows exactly who supports Dirty Don. There's too much money and power at stake for him to care about anti-Semitic MAGATs.

The only way Drumpf will lose in 2020 is if the economy truly tanks and Rs finally wise up to the fact that he's not the financial genius he claims to be. Remember, all we need are Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan back on our side.
