Loomer vs. Frankel - What Do You Think?

Does Loomer have a chance? That would say a lot about Florida.

Her entire self-worth hinges on having a blue checkmark next to her name on Twitter. Completely delusional.

that she has a following.

I've been reading JTA for a while now, trying to understand your community better. There seem to be a lot of Republicans. Different perspectives.

Exit polls from the 2016 election show that of the 3% of voters who identified their religion as Jewish, 71% voted for Clinton and 23% for Trump. Similarly high percentages of Jews have voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in all presidential elections going back to 1992 and have favored Democratic candidates by at least a plurality in elections going back much further than that.

Beyond that, I’d hazard a guess that the majority of Jewish repugs are far more socially liberal than most.

Thanks for being interested in learning more ...

Here’s hoping Loomer’s the loser.

JTA may be trying to be "fair and impartial" by covering the Republican and Democratic viewpoints on Jewish issues.

I actually don't know why the embassy moved to Jerusalem, except perhaps that more Americans go there. It seemed to be a big selling point, or rather, Trump seemed to think it was.

The article about Loomer dismayed me. There was such deep hate and ugliness toward Muslim immigrants. Hopefully, when they get here, they get told that everyone is supposed to get along... but that's obviously a pipe dream.

It's quite possible that Muslim immigrants bring hate with them. I think we have enough of that in America already.

ActBlue even has a page to help get rid of her.

And stop worrying about Frankel's seat.
