At the moment my best guess is Trump loses the next election, but the political analysis here is all wrong:Â it’s not about “winning the Jewish vote” (after all, neo-nazis support him and they’re sensitive to refugee and migrant treatment), it’s about winning a batch of the Jewish voteÂ (after all, the Squad is shirky to Israel’s right to defend itself).Â The 10 point drop off from Obama 08 to 12 is significant, ain’t it?

The dilemma of the day:

For example, immigration is now seen through the lens of race, in a way that simply wasnâ€™t true two decades ago. As Zach Goldberg noted in anÂ essay in Tablet Magazine, between 1965 and 2000, the percentage of white liberals who wanted higher immigration levels never deviated far from 10 percent. During the Obama administration, the number rose to the range of 20 to 30 percent. Now, more than 50 percent of white progressives want to see higher immigration levels.
