Jewish GOPers Sour on Vance: Look to Rubio for 2028

Sunday, July 19, 2026

It's no secret that JD Vance has lost the confidence of many Jewish Republicans, who have taken issue with the vice president's reprimanding of Israeli officials, indulgence of anti-Israel conspiracy theories and silence on Tucker Carlson, the prominent pundit who has turned against Israel. But Vance is still thought by many to be Donald Trump's likeliest successor at the top of the party's ticket in 2028, leaving the GOP's Jewish supporters with the question of whom to back when Trump's second term ends.

Many are finding an answer elsewhere in the Trump administration.

"The overwhelming majority of American Jewish MAGA voters, donors, and policymakers are enthusiastically supporting a Marco Rubio presidential run," Shabbos Kestenbaum, whose high-profile activism against campus antisemitism has made him a hero among Jewish conservatives, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency this week. "I look forward to voting for him as well."

JTA has been around a long time and is an excellent source of information, pre-dating Israel by over 50 or 60 years.

Of course these Republican Jews will turn to Larry Ellison-picked Empty Suit Marco Rubio for POTUS in 2028.

Plutocrat Larry Ellison considers ethnic cleanser Benjamin Netanyahu a close friend.

Here it comes, Coriolanus and the "annoying" habit of reminding Americans the danger of foreign interference in US elections.

"Argh! Stupid Coriolanus! Stupid progressives! Blargh! Who cares about Palestinian lives? Gargh!"

Cor:

I had never heard of the JTA until I saw this is my recent work:

In 1947, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported, "The America First Party will change its name next week to Christian Nationalist Party, it was announced here by Gerald L.K. Smith, its leader. The new party, he said, will be dedicated to the preservation of America as a Christian nation.'"

The cite is a broken link. I've tried to reproduce here (adding space) so that the link comes across: pdfs. jta. org/1947/1947-07-31_179.pdf

I'd love to see the original.

Hi DBT2:

www.JTA.org and www.972mag.com are two excellent sources of news about Israel.

Using my MS XP PC, I dug these up for you which may bear fruit.

You're learning.

Your next lesson is learning how pompous you sound as if you need to provide us with your oh so crucial insights into matters we know nothing about or couldn't possibly find information about without you plastering every thread with stupid AIPAC s*&^.

What's hilarious is you take offense to being called a self-righteous progressive when it's exactly that kind of behavior that make progressives so cringe to everyone but progressives.
