The Jewish donors gathered Thursday had two demands of the Republican presidential candidates who'd come to speak to them: unambiguous support for Israel and respect.

Donald Trump seemed to fail at both.

The party's 2016 front-runner openly questioned Israel's commitment to the Mideast peace process in his remarks to the Republican Jewish Coalition, echoing comments he made the night before in an interview with The Associated Press. He drew boos after refusing to endorse Jerusalem as the nation's undivided capital. And he suggested to the influential group simply wanted to install a puppet in the White House....

Of course they could push back with “A deal with us has to look better than this.” And they would get a lot of Christian support on that.

I don’t know what “self funding nonsense” is.

He’s going to have to tune his deal, however, if he wants to get the currency of more votes.

What truth is that, exactly?

That Israel is the impediment to peace in the Middle East?

So tired of this blowhard.

He claims he doesn't want money because he funds his own campaign.

But he's taken in twice as much from donations as he's put in.

Of course the lobbyists and rich donors want to install the puppets. They would be morons to have spent all that money on people that are not their puppets.

Trump is his own donor and lobbyst. That is his appeal and his downside. The gasbag wants to be a dictator and will have a schizophrenic policies if he ever gets elected.

Let’s run with that.

If Donald Trump took gazillions under the table and was the ultimate fraud I would...

But that ain’t it. I believe the guy. He’s surrounded by women who would gouge his eyes out if he betray them let alone America.

It’s a common practice to donate to opposition parties in hope of ameliorating their enmity.

I love Israel but most American Jews can pound sand as far as Im concerned. Zuckerberg’s smugness and Sanders’ arrogance typifies many of them. them.

And of course, Trumpskis will hear what they want to hear.

Trump blathers on and on so much, with so many contradictions, you can literally pick and choose which Donald you want...

What do American Jews have to do with Trump backing down on support of Israel?

Oh, I can handle being insulted in an online forum.

I'm certainly "asking for it."

What I like much less is watching this FOB, who is (badly) pretending to be a conservative, use his celebrity to help create another Clinton presidency.

Is this satire?

If not, I see this becoming a big problem for Trump.

I call this jumping to conclusions.

Trump has stood up for some not so good things (mostly the worldly status quo) before, but then his deal paradigm has played out and he has adjusted.

Oh, absolutely nothing.

But they have to be blamed, because Donald Trump is never wrong about anything, ever.
