The study also found that 25% of donations to the Republican Party also come from Jewish donors.
In an interview with the Jerusalem Post, Troy stated that this is why presidential campaigns are aimed at Jews even though they only make up 2% of American voters.
Professor Troy also stated that the electorate system is preferential towards states that have large Jewish populations like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
In those states, there isn’t a clear winner for either candidate but they have large Jewish electorates and the Jewish voice becomes very meaningful.
Troy estimates that 70% of Jews will vote for Hilary in November, which is similar to the percent of Jews that voted for Barack Obama in the last elections. According to Troy, in meetings with Republican officials, Jewish contributors still mostly support the Democratic Party, despite the unwavering pro-Israeli policy of the Republican Party.

Because for most American Jews, completely ignorant of Jewish tradition, belief, and history, value a woman's right to kill her unborn baby more than they value Israel's right to survive. Because American Jews, whose knowledge of Judaism can barely fill a thimble, are taught as young children that the Democratic party embodies "Jewish values" such as the ever-quoted "tikkun olam", meaning.....whatever the Democratic party platform happens to be. Sad and pathetic and America laughs and shakes its head at these liberal Jews who will sell themselves the rope to hang themselves one day.
