Personally, I always vote for a Shtreimel. On the other hand, my brother will never vote for a Shtreimel.
What on earth does the fact whether a candidate wears a shtreimel or not make a difference.
so R. Dovid is Jacob Kornbluh your new pen name or your puppet, oy R. Dovid your such a child.

#1, because there are people like you out there that will vote solely on that factor
What a classic Yeshiva World story! The fact that this came from the “YWN Desk” is an attestation to the professionalism of this fine news website.
UJM,
Hiking loves costumes. He should try to find a black man in a shtreimel….
What a hypocrite this hikind is. I cannot believe that they are making a fool out of Chaim Israel like this.
There was a famous American politican who got elected by promising to put a chicken in every Shtreimel or a Shrteimel on every chicken or a pot in every hat or somthing along those lines…The point is voters make decisions on symbols, superficial promises and slogans…NOT on an objective analysis of policy positions
