By Sarah Posner

…er $1,500, according to the World Bank. Romney, seated next to billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson at the head of the table, said he had read books and relied on his own business experience to understand why the difference is so great. “And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things,” Romney said, citing an innovat…

Republican Presidential Candidate Courts Televangelists. So What Else Is New? (Updated with video)

By Sarah Posner

…is unsuccessful 2012 presidential bid when he met with televangelists. The casino mogul isn’t the first Republican (or probably the last) to get cozy with Copeland in particular. In 2008 Mike Huckabee reached out to Copeland as his campaign floundered. At the time, Copeland boasted of being a “rich Jew backed by a richer Jew” and a “billionaire in the kingdom of God.” But Copeland’s influence dates back even further than that. As I reported in my…

Electionpocalypse, Part II: The Mythical Jewish Vote

By Sarah Posner

…d that’s what the Republican Jewish Coalition, fueled by Sheldon Adelson’s casino money, is hoping to capitalize on in swing states with relatively large Jewish populations. At the heart of the Republican outreach is an effort to portray President Obama as anti-Israel—and worse. The defense from “pro-Israel” Democrats, though, is to defend Obama as being just as “pro-Israel” as any Republican, rather than to ask, “what does it mean, exactly, to be…

Should Evangelical Trump Critics Leave The Movement? Who Cares?

By Daniel Schultz

…of adulterous affairs, debauching public morality and justice through the casino and pornography industries.” For decades, evangelicals have overwhelmingly voted Republican, but Trump’s flaws made him an unlikely choice for the group. Trump gathered evangelical support early in the primaries, which continued through July’s nominating convention and through the election—despite multiple high-profile scandals, including his 2005 comments about wome…

A King for Jesus: What the Religious Right Sees in Trump

By Roger O. Friedland

…to his lack of power. He has only run one public company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts in Atlantic City between 1995 to 2009. Subject to stockholders and a board of directors, Trump was a disaster. His company went bankrupt; his investors lost everything. In Trump’s eyes this was not because of anonymous market forces. Just like elections, opinion polls, political debates, the news media, he thinks the stock market is “rigged.” “I believe it’s…

Dear Evangelicals, A “Begrudging” Vote for Trump Is Still a Vote for Trump

By Neil J. Young

…, traditional Mormon proves more challenging than backing a thrice-married casino owner who can neither name a verse from the Bible nor has ever needed to ask God for forgiveness. Still, the remaining soldiers of the #NeverTrump movement continue their attack on the candidate and his Christian supporters. In the Washington Post, George W. Bush’s former speechwriter Michael Gerson continued his year-long case against Trump and his backers. Last mon…

Romney, Tisha B’Av, and LDS Temples

By Sarah Posner

…that’s making a big push for Jewish voters, with the financial backing of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. On MSNBC this morning, Matt Brooks of the Republican Jewish Coalition was expressing confidence that Obama will have a Jewish problem come election time—based on conversations Brooks has had with Jews around the country who want to . . . have a conversation with the head of the Republican Jewish Coalition. Imagine that! That even Romney’s Jew…

Will Evangelicals Vote for a Non-Christian Trump? If They Don’t, the Vatican May Fall to ISIS

By Hollis Phelps

…that he lacks a “moral compass.” As Russell Moore points out, Trump is “a casino and real estate mogul who has built his career off gambling, a moral vice and an economic swindle that oppresses the poorest and most desperate.” For Moore that should be enough to disqualify Trump from evangelical consideration. And yet Jerry Falwell, Jr. can say about Trump that he’s “seen his generosity to strangers, to his employees, his warm relationship with hi…

Evangelicals Getting on the Trump Train

By Paul Harvey

…nt prophecies at the presumptive Republican nominee while the unsuccessful casino mogul sprayed insults around the political spectrum (even while having his first heart-to-heart with Paul Ryan). Moore and other evangelical (and Mormon) critics have been taken as a sign that Trump will make limited headway in getting out a vote that is essential for any Republican candidate, Christian conservatives. But the counter-evidence has been mounting for a…

Hagee Calls Obama “The Most Anti-Semitic President Ever”

By Sarah Posner

…s more details: The other stars of the night were the ubiquitous Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam, whose generous contributions to ZOA have helped lift the organization out of the doldrums and into the spotlight and the fast lane. [ZOA president Mort] Klein gave Adelson a gift mezuzah for his new Las Vegas home (in which “God himself would be happy to live if he could afford it”] then Miriam Adelson told the audience “h…
