[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I thought the premise of the original post was that because Trump allegedly has anti-semitic supporters, Trump himself is clearly anti-semitic too. No?[/quote]

No. That is not the premise of the original post. I am now completely convinced that Trump supporters are completely unable to read and comprehend simple English.

Here is the last paragraph of my original post:

I assume that Trump grew up among Jews and has associated and worked with them nearly his entire life. His son-in-law is Jewish. His speech to AIPAC was as strong as any that has been delivered. So, I don't believe for a second that Trump himself is the slightest anti-Semitic. However, it does seem that he is comfortable having the support of anti-Semites. My assumption is that Trump's entire campaign has been based on fleecing the rubes and white supremacists are just one more group of rubes to fleece. But, [b]like so much else about the Trump campaign, in the process of taking advantage of the rubes, he is unleashing a lot of dangerous forces in society. Anti-Semitism is one of the more dangerous.[/b]

My concern is the bolded. Trump is giving legitimacy to anti-Semitism by retweeting the tweets of neo-Nazis, stumbling over how to handle David Duke, and failing to renounce anti-Semitic attacks by his supporters.
