A while ago, I suggested that American Jewish liberalism’s future was clouded by the barbarian takeover of the ownership of the New Republic, amounting to a lobotomy. Like too many university campuses, liberal political journalism is becoming an idea-free zone inimical to the Jewish critical spirit.
I stand by the analysis, but would amend it to the extent of predicting that, at the polls, Democratic Jewish liberalism will continue to do quite well, thank you, at least through the 2016 presidential election cycle.
I predict that Hillary Clinton, if she doesn’t self-destruct in the primaries, will do everything necessary to quiet the roiling waves of centrist Jewish concern over Obama Administration Mideast policies.
I would expect her to do better among Jewish voters than Obama did in 2012, and at least as well as Obama did in 2008.
