Well, simply, we are human and not monolith, despite persistent anti-Semitic canards claiming the opposite. How can Black people be republicans? Latinos? And one group, which is much larger in representation in population and membership in the Republican party, women! How can they be republicans?!

Jewish republicans are a minority within our community, with more Jews throwing their kippah in with Independents, but usually voting for Democrats, and democrats.
