Ted Cruz starts some speeches saying "To God be the glory." If he said that in Arabic he be starting them out saying "Allahu Akbar.'

Do you think America would ever elect a non-christian or even an atheist

Absolutely not, and as a liberal, this is so motherfucking frustrating watching all these really well meaning and desperately naive Bernie supporters totally forget the fact he is jewish. I'm jewish too - and you know what? We, like black people, only have substantial populations in about 10 places in the entire country, and, also like black people, are hated by a huge portion of the population. Unlike black people, however, we are a tiny fucking minority.

The most prevalent opinion about jews in America - given that evangelicalism is now the largest religious voting block - is:

  1. I've never met a jew BUT
  2. When all the jews are back in Israel, Jesus will come!

That is fucking terrifying to me. But it is a whole other story.

This country is not going to elect a jew. It isn't going to happen. And that is the fucking end of the goddamn story. So while Hillary and Bernie duke it out, making each other look shitty, we are just pouring resources into the fucking toilet. Hillary is far from perfect but she is our best fucking chance. Any of the republican candidates would be an unmitigated disaster. They are all savagely insane, myopic, blustering buffoons. Ted Cruz may have booksmarts - but he is still a complete fucking moron. The same applies for Donald Trump - they are both savants at like, one or two things, and complete dumpster-fires as human beings in virtually every other respect.

So instead of putting our money behind someone electable - who is Hillary - we are putting tons of resources behind a man who is simply never going to get elected - ever - because is an unphotogenic, curmudgeonly, poorly dressed aged jew - and I loved my Opa dearly, but he wouldn't have been electable either.

The whole thing is a fucking farce.
