and it isn't mentioned much. That seems positive to me. Does anyone know what religion, if any, the others practice? Biden is Catholic, Mayor Pete is Episcopal, I think, and ......

I Know Where I Came From

Unlike Donald Trump, I did not come from a wealthy family that built a corporate empire through housing discrimination. I grew up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck and I protested housing discrimination.

Coincidentally, Barry Goldwater had Jewish ancestry on one side and lost in a horrible landslide. Bernie would be our Barry.

As I said, "Barry Goldwater had Jewish ancestry on one side".

As I also said, Sanders would be the first Jew to be a candidate of a leading party. And, I fear, the first Jewish candidate to lose in a landslide.
