    I think he's generally considered to be not too much of a threat. He's also what's called a secular Jew, that is, he was born Jewish, and never converted to anything else, but its the least observant kind of Jew you can be and still be called a Jew. He's not Kosher, doesn't attend a temple with any kind of regularity. I haven't seen any outpouring of support from him from the Jewish community in my county. So apparently its not a big deal for them either.

    Because it's Republicans that are obsessed with religion. So they don't want to bring it up since they constantly slam Democrats for "not supporting Isreal". If Sanders was a Muslim it's all they would be talking about.

    In knowing who the Democrats are, if Bernie wasn't Jewish he would be ahead of Hilary.

    Liberals are always pointing out who's Christian , who's black , who's white .... I don't hear anything about this liberal been a Jew . I guess it maybe because he follows their agenda , want to keep it from their godless followers.

    Don't worry I'm sure Trump will come out for his plans for Jews.

    Why, your post here is the very first time I've seen it mentioned that he is Jewish...

    ...Today.

    Because it is irrelevant to his views and his ideas. He is secular, not religious. He is not blindly devoted to Israel. He is a leftist.

    Because I dont see the reason to. He is an American too.

    You say that as if he were trying to hide his religion.
