First, on every issue aside from Israel, Jews prefer Democrats to Republicans.
Second, on the issue of Israel, Jews prefer Democrats to Republicans.As we look at Donald Trump's poll ratings amongst Jews -- far lower than even his catastrophic nationwide ratings -- we see this born out. On every issue save Israel, Jews think Trump sucks. And on Israel ... Trump still is significantly underwater, and well below where Barack Obama polled on that issue at his nadir. It's just not that mysterious why an overwhelmingly liberal electoral subgroup would keep voting for the more liberal of the two parties.
But, you know.

Educated, liberal, minority, urban group prefers Democratic Party to Republicans is not exactly man bites dog.
What's the difference between Donald Trump and the average American Jew his age?
Donald Trump has Jewish grandchildren.
Have you seen the 2013 Pew study?
The intermarriage rate in secular, reform and conservative (democrat-voting) circles is over 60%. Interest in Israel and interest in Jewish community in that demographic is low and plummeting.
The observant Jewish demographic - which votes conservative - is the only one growing.
It seems like the triumphalist, sneering tone of your post is rather misplaced. It would seem that the Jews who will survive rampant assimilation are partial to the values of the GOP.
