    That Trump isn't anti-Semitic?

    The fascination is that SHE chose the hardcore version of Judaism.

    She chose it because she was marrying an Orthodox Jew. It's not like she sought it out independently.

    She chose Jared Kushner.

    Sure. But, love is a complicated thing. If she chose a religious Catholic, maybe she becomes Catholic.

    I'm not questioning her conversion. But couples who plan on having kids often want to raise their children with a religious faith, and want to be on the same page. And, often the religion of the person who is more devout in their religion is the one they settle on.

    Yes, that is what I meant.

    If that's what you get out of that paragraph and my posts, then you're illiterate - when it comes to both reading and politics.

    Fight the Democrats' agenda - but never cede the high ground. Also when you're a statesman - instead of politician - it means going across the aisle and joining the other side occasionally. And not just for Russian sanction votes.

    Well no shit. I did not know he's Orthodox. And two, anyone can marry a Jew and do the ceremonial shit but you've really got to want it to convert to Orthodox Judaism.

    Didn't know she went that route till yesterday. Thought she was simply a trophy wife Jew.

    I would be surprised if an openly anti-Semitic word ever escaped Donald Trump's lips. I would be. He's not a Breitbart Republican. He's a Fox News Republican. He's like a lot of other senior citizens in America who have settled upon Fox News as their primary news source in the last 10-20 years, and adopted its vocabulary and arguments. The white nationalists and such who make up part of Breitbart's readership adopted him, not the way around. He loves to be loved, as we know. And so he happily accepted their embrace without, I don't think, putting much thought into it.

    Donald Trump is largely a cipher.
