I'm very proud to be Jewish and I look forward to becoming the first Jewish president in the history of this country.

2. Two Jews are running

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 ......

14. Steyer is Episcopalian

his father was Jewish.

8. Even if he is not your favorite people should watch it highlights what US needs - to fight against

the dangers of racism and white nationalism

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.

10. He'd be the first Jewish candidate of a major party and the first one to lose in a horrible landslde

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

15. Sorry that was John Kerry

though the loss wasn't a landslide.

[DavidDvorkin]

16. Kerry had Jewish ancestors on one side, but they converted to Catholicism.

[whistler162]

17. and Barry Goldwaters converted to Episcipalian

[DavidDvorkin]

18. Yes, that's why I didn't call him a Jew

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.

19. Bloomberg is also a MOT
