4. sorry, but Jews are a more useful voting bloc than the Muslims; they've contributed to the party

both activity-wise and monetarily, and they're not a massive political liability, nor is there a risk of members of it blowing themselves up around the country and the world in the name of their religion. Jews win. Sorry.

Now that moderates like the Clintons are gone, if the Dem party engages left-wing anti-Semites, you'll see more situations like 2012 with the Jewish vote where Romney hit a record, but without Obama, it won't be enough nationally for a Democrat to win nationally anyway. Also, there are a lot of Jews in FL, PA, MI, and parts of OH and WI.
