The answer is 2.2 percent overall and even in states where Jewish voters are said to be crucial, New Jersey and Florida, the numbers are actually fairly low, at 5.9 percent and 3.3 percent. New Hampshire, .8 percent, Iowa .2 percent. The point is, The candidates are bending over backwards for Sheldon Adelson&#8217;s money, not for primary voters. That&#8217;s why Jeb Bush has tacked right on foreign policy and hired Paul Wolfowitz and thrown Jim Baker under the bus, to get money from the Republican Jewish Coalition. If they were doing this for the Koch Brothers, the media would be all over it. Remember that <a href=\"http:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2013\/10\/adelson-nuclear-negotiate\">Adelson called for the U.S. to nuke Iran<\/a>, and this man has power over the candidates!<\/p>\n<p>Coulter&#8217;s next tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Maybe it&#8217;s to suck up to the Evangelicals.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AnnCoulter\/status\/644346589683843072\">September 17, 2015<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Maybe she was being intellectually honest; there are a bunch of evangelical Christian Zionists out there.
