But the immigrants in favor of Trump is an odd thing. They aren't shy about it. I haven't the temerity to suggest to any that perhaps that's pulling up the ladder behind them. Because they're paying me.
Yes, most of my exposure is immigrant business owners. And these do trend R. But it's odd to hear folks from India favor Trump over a women of half-Indian descent.
The Jewish vote seems really split. When I hear people continue to parrot the stereotype that Jews all vote Democrat, including the Orange Shmuck himself, I have to wonder if these people know many Jews. The ones I know who are freaked out by the last year's vile displays on campuses aren't voting Democratic. And more generally, that stereotype is as dated as it is awful. I'd say roughly half the Jews I know, and a lot of my social scene is Jewish, have always been conservative and lean Republican.
