Trump totally gets it.

He wins far more votes by positioning himself in support of Israel (relative to Biden) than he would the other way. Opposition to Israel's current policies and tactics skews heavily progressive - Trump's landing on the correct side of that skew for his brand.

Again, not everyone who supports Israel is doing it just because they want to advance Israel's interests. For a whole lot of political actors, it is in their best interests to support Israel.

It's going to take more cycles I guess.

The same people who used to shout "I'm a Free Trader" on the Right....are now as Anti Nafta as us perotistas and Buchananites were back when they shouted us down.

Right now they shout "Israel!" - maybe one they that'll get old too.

By not kissing the Israeli Killing Machine's butt - Trump would lose very few people. Not too many red hats are gonna go to Biden for *any* reason - including this one.

However, he'd exploit some of the Arabic vote, in electoral rich Michigan.

Just like trade and immigration....I'll have to wait a few more cycles. I accept that.

They usually come around :)

In the meantime, sympathies to the enlisted and us civilians. We'll die for things that had nothing to do with us.

Buy stock in the yellow ribbon factories until we smarten up.
