In reply to the discussion: Al Franken Would Make a Great President [View all]MrPurple
(985 posts)I think some potentially Democratic votes shifted over racism/sexism with Obama & Hillary (and those traits helped turn out some voters for them), but my perception is that fewer of the Jew haters are likely to vote Democrat anyway. It didn't seem to be much of a factor when Lieberman was the VP nominee.
The stereotype of Jews being competent/smart is pervasive and those that buy into the Zionist conspiracy for global domination are head over heels Trump voters already. Where I think Fox and the right would try to characterize Franken would be with the Hollywood elite limosine liberal thing, which is insane when their populist alternative is a billionaire living in a gold plated palace atop a skyscraper, but I'd think that would be their angle.
