Republicans begin campaign to get Drumpf votes in Israel

There are about 300k ex-pat votes up for grabs there.

https://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/republicans-began-a-campaign-to-get-trump-votes-in-israel/

From the article:

Tzvika Brot, who is heading the campaign, estimated that about three-quarters of American-Israelis would support the Republican party.

A Democratic party representative in Israel disputed that estimate, telling Israel Radio the majority of Israeli and U.S. Jewish voters had always preferred the Democrats.

A poll of Jewish Israelis conducted in May found 40 percent of respondents backed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and 31 percent supported Drumpf. The poll didn’t specify whether those who responded were eligible to vote in the U.S. election.

The pro-Drumpf drive opened at a shopping mall in the central Israeli town of Modiin and will focus on areas with high concentrations of American-Israelis. Brot said he hoped the new votes being sought might help tip the balance in swing states.
