I don't think Trump is stupid, but he not curious or interested enough to have anything better than a cursory knowledge of the world outside of his business interests. He might however be able to achieve success as POTUS if he makes some first rate appointees, upon whom he's going to be very dependent.

That's still better odds than we get with Hillary, who we know will be a disaster, because she already was a disaster as SECSTATE.

That said, Cruz would the best choice, but he's going to have to hit the lottery tomorrow to stay in the race.

The current resident of the White House is despised by the Israelis for throwing them under the bus. There are a few hardcore Lefty Israelis who think he is just too cool but 95% know he is a dangerous appeaser.

US Jews on the other hand, voted overwhelmingly for the current resident of the White House and TWICE.

So, who has their head screwed on their shoulders? American Jews or Israeli Jews? The Israelis face death daily, the US Jews face a rye bread or pumpernickel crises everyday...

No, I think it is more of a spiritual thing. Certainly, hearts have been hardened and eyes closed for those who support a candidate that would not have been acceptable just a few short years ago.

Good for Ted if he can get an endorsement! I’m for Trump but like Ted as a second choice, most assuredly over that Amnesty Snake Rubio.

I did wonder, however that the impact of this is. In terms of ‘votes’ it means about 3 in 10 of Jews would endorse him if the article’s assertions are correct throughout. That would be about 30% of 1.7-2.2% of the overall population. Still, a number that could benefit Ted in places with large Jewish populations.

In December, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected Donald Trump’s call for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. and canceled a meeting with Trump.

“The state of Israel respects all religion and strictly adheres to the rights of all its citizens,” he said in a statement.

“At the same time, Israel is fighting radical Islam which is attacking Muslims, Christians and Jews alike and threatens the entire world,” Netanyahu added.

- - - - - - - -

Interesting. So Netanyahu asks Donald Trump to make a television endorsement commercial for him during the last election, and then rejects Donald Trump call for a ban on Muslim immigration to the United States, and Donal Trump, when asked about it, says Bibi is still his friend. Sounds to me as if Bibi has decided not to upset the Jewish side of the GOPee, and Donald Trump has signaled he understands his situation.

YHWH’s plan of salvation has reached the 6 day, or 6000 year mark depending on who you are. Israel was kicked out of the Land two days ago (Hosea 6:2) and is being raised up on the third day, which is the seventh or Sabbath day of the salvation plan. But before the morning comes the evening, so Israel still has to go through the time of Jacob’s trouble.

As for Donald Trump, I view him as a type of Samson, whom YHWH raised up to bring down the Temple of Dagon on the Philistines. Read Judges 13-16 and then look at the characteristics Donald Trump shares with Samson: Doesn’t drink, ever; has really wild hair; is really harsh if you treat him badly or unfairly; ran around with a lot of foreign women.

Actually, I think Trump will win, but the prospect of a Trump Presidency will cause the Russians and the Iranians to preemptively attack the US as part of their attack on Israel.

In Ezekiel 38, two distinct attacks are described. Biblical scholars have always taken them both to be about Israel, but only the second description specifically mentions Israel. The first is more general, and is hard to fit with the walled cities of current Israel. But it fits the United States pretty well.
10 “Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind,
and you will make an evil plan:
11 “You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages;
I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’—
12 “to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited,
and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.
13 “Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you,
‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty,
to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ “

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (pp. 845-846). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

That pretty much describes a pre-Trump America. Particularly the part, “against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.”

Then YHWH, through Ezekiel, continues:

14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?
15 “Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you,
all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16 “You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land.
It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me,
when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”
17 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel,
who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD,
“that My fury will show in My face.
19 “For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken:
‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel,
20 ‘so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field,
all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth
shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall,
and every wall shall fall to the ground.’
21 “I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD.
“Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
22 “And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed;
I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain,
great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 “Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations.
Then they shall know that I am the LORD.” ‘

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 846). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

So, that is why I say to everyone: “Repent! The Kingdom of God is at hand!”

Romans 10
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”
(that is, the word of faith which we preach):
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (pp. 1100-1101). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

To give you another indication of how near we are to end, we have Revelation Chapter 12:
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1193). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Previous Bible commentators have taken this as a symbolic vision about Israel (Mary) giving birth to Jesus, and marking the start of the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation.
However, since “knowledge had increased”, we can use star charting programs such as Stellarium to see that this could be a literal “great sign” in heaven.

The constellation “Virgo”, the Virgin, has always been identified with Mary the Mother of Jesus. The nine stars of Leo, the Lion (of Judah), form a “garland” above her head.
Jupiter has always been identified as the “King” star. It is striped (by His stripes we are healed) and has a large, red spot (they pierced His side).

Here is the sequence of events regarding the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Virgo, Leo, Mercury, Mars and Venus

Mon, 21 November 2016 = 20th of Cheshvan, 5777
Jupiter enters Virgo (the Virgin’s Womb) crossing line from Spica to Porrima

Sat, 28 January 2017 = 1st of Sh’vat, 5777
Jupiter retrograde motion begins inside Virgo.

Sat, 10 June 2017 = 16th of Sivan, 5777
Jupiter prograde motion resumes inside Virgo

Thu, 17 August 2017 = 25th of Av, 5777
Total Solar eclipse across America (Charleston to Portland)

Sun, 10 September 2017 = 19th of Elul, 5777
Jupiter crosses Heze — Spica line. Virgin gives birth? Conjunction Regulus and Mercury

Wed, 20 September 2017 = 29th of Elul, 5777
New Moon, Venus — Regulus conjunction

Sun, 24 September 2017 = 4th of Tishrei, 5778
Sun at Virgo’s shoulders (clothed), the Moon is at her feet, Mercury, Mars, Venus are added to Leo’s nine stars as Virgo’s 12-star ‘garland’

The great sign in the heaven is complete. This formation has not happened in the past 6000 years and won’t happen again for at least another 2000 years.

Luke 21
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1023). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Graphic says 23 September 2017, as it depends on where you say Virgo’s feet are. Besides, no one knows the day or the hour.

For trumpsters to accuse Cruz of grandstanding is straight from Alensky — Accuse your opponents of doing exactly what you are doing. Trump has been grandstanding for vote since the day he announced his candidacy.

Hmmm, I remember G.W. Bush in 2000 saying if elected he would move our embassy to Israel from Tel Aviv to Israel’s declared capital city of Jerusalem.

Not only was that all just “Israel talk”,[for eight years in a row during his presidency he kept signing those stupid presidential waivers to not do so.

In addition, he sent his anti-Israel SOS Condi Rice to pressure Israel to make foolish concessions to the Islamo fascist Fatah rum PA.

Bush was also called for Israel to give up it’s historic land of Judea and Samaria for the creation of another arab Moslem state. A policy called the “Roadmap”.

Despite his 2000 campaign “Israel talk”, G.W. Bush became the worst anti-Israel president ever up to that time. His stupid policies paved the way for Obama.

I don’t give a crap about Cruz’s “Israel talk”. As Trump said at the debate politicians are all talk and no substantive action. I’m voting Trump!

No sane Jew believes Cruz’s pandering.

Most of my family is for Trump, especially the Texans and Californians.

You left out GWB’s insistance on connecting Gaza with the “West Bank” during negotiations, and the 1948 lines. Though I think GWB was pro Israel in his beliefs, he’s a perfect example of adopting a “neutral” position. Never made an effort to halt palestinian incitement, the largest long term problem. IMO it’s tough to be neutral when one party advocates genocide against the other.

We’re 223 years away from the 6000th year on the Hebrew calendar. I don’t think the 7 years and time of Jacob’s Trouble will happen until around then. The 6000th year is also seen to be the “birthday’ of man. Perfect time for the revealing of the ultimate bad man 666 and then the return of Christ. Millennial reign of Christ 1000 years to the 7th (7000th year) the year of perfection with God creating a new heaven and new earth.

How’s my eschatology? Lol.

Dear fellow Jews, you are being swayed incorrectly into thinking that the Donald is against you. He is not. Once again, Jews misguide themselves, even Republican Jews.

You are exactly right here Netz!

Israel wants a Republican but knows that America NEEDS Trump right now...

Netz is exactly right again!

This is all very easy to figure out. Some Jewish people in Israel must not realize -that if Trump loses to Hillary in the general, she'll run roughshod over Israel and leave them under the bus where anti-semite islamic muslim filthbag obama threw them.

There is no rebutal to this!
Now, mull that over.

(RightLady, your comment has no merit, thus it's not worthy of reading)
