But a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from 13 Senate Democrats suggests the party may be at a tipping point.Jonathan S. Tobin at National Review
"Over the past half-century, Republicans and Democrats have exchanged identities on Middle East issues. Republicans are now the lockstep pro-Israel party, and the Democrats are deeply divided about their attitudes toward the Jewish state. And as polling from both the Pew Research Center and Gallup indicated earlier this year, the split between the two major parties on Israel is growing.
"The previous administration accelerated these trends. President Barack Obama’s eight years were dedicated to creating what he called more “daylight” between the U.S. and Israel, and support for the Iran nuclear deal became a litmus test of Democratic-party loyalty. President Donald Trump has worked to overturn Obama’s Middle East policies, putting the remaining pro-Israel Democrats in a difficult political situation. Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, as well as his abandonment of the Iran deal, have been cheered by the Netanyahu government but panned by most Democrats, including some who in the past have advocated both of those positions.
"But reactions to the latest round of violence in the Middle East shows that the Democrats’ drift may be speeding up still more, with the party veering toward anti-Israel hostility." . . .
The moral compass of Democrats manifests itself:

The moral compass of Democrats manifests itself:
- They support Muslims who murder shoppers in the streets
- Not one Democrat showed up at the US Embassy opening in Jerusalem
- California Democrat Kamala Harris openly disrespects those more capable than she.
- Democrats wanting to impeach President Trump
- Democrats would run America the way they run California, right?
- Waters promises 'reparations' if Dems take over in 2020
- The leftist Democrats (which is all of them; there are no moderate Democrats) in Congress . . .
- Democrats honor dictators over American conservatives
To Gain Voters, Democrats Favor Immigration Anarchy ...
Above is just a small sample of the cancer in the American electorate
And of course these next are solid reasons the leftists all have to vote Democrat: Why I vote Democrat
