[American Thinker] In 2016, America was introduced to the "Never Trump" voter, people who contended that they were conservatives but that Donald Trump was such a disgusting human being that they couldn’t vote for him. By 2020, two things had happened: Some of them decided that, given his four years of successful conservative governance, they could vote for him despite his personality; others overtly or covertly joined the Democrat party. Now, it’s 2024, and we’re seeing a new breed of "Never" voter: The Jewish "Never Bidens" of the Democrat party.
I first learned that there was a name for these awakening Jews when a friend sent me an email with an incredible quotation: "My ’Never Again’ is trumping my ’Never Trump’ these days." In other words, the fear of another Holocaust is so great that Trump seems like a great option when compared to Biden.
I eventually traced the quotation to an Eli Lake essay at The Free Press entitled "The Rise of the ’Never Bidens’: Donors who once worried more about Donald Trump now see the president’s bid for a second term as the greater threat to America." Lake wrote about four very generous Jewish political donors, all of whom have been open about the fact that Biden’s decision to back Hamas, a genocidal, anti-American terrorist group, has given them second thoughts about their prior sense of revulsion when it comes to Donald Trump. Here’s the full context for that amazing quote about "Never Again" versus "Never Trump."
Cliff Asness, a Republican donor who says he "spent well over seven figures" to support Trump’s primary opponent Nikki Haley, told The Free Press that "My ’Never Again’ is trumping my ’Never Trump’ these days."
"Biden is a huge disappointment, really a moral outrage with this arms embargo being only the latest and greatest outrage," continued Asness, the co-founder of AQR Capital Management. "Despite my long opposition to him, this makes me more likely, though I haven’t quite gotten there yet, to see Trump as the better of two bad alternatives."
Some might say, "Well, Asness is a Republican, so of course he’ll return to the home base for elections." Maybe, but what about Haim Saban, a major Democrat party donor, who issued a strong warning to the Democrat party about Biden’s decision to support Hamas: |
