Bernie Sanders is the first Jewish American to win a primary

[King of Kensington]

Yet the "Jewish establishment" isn't that enthusiastic about him and it's hardly been noticed.

I'm guessing they've sufficiently "arrived" and it's not much of an issue anymore.

Yeah, I was kind of surprised when I saw that. Good news for diversity in America!

[Mr. Morden]

Wasn't Cruz also the first Latino to win a primary or caucus?

Is Trump the first billionaire to win a primary?

Post-identity politics?


Billionaire Trump is not supported by billionaires
(he has the middle class and working poor)

Hispanic Cruz/Rubio are not supported by Hispanics

Female Hillary is not supported by females

Jewish Bernie is not supported by Jews / Old Bernie is not supported by old people

African-American Carson is not supported by African-Americans

I'm sure that Bernie Sanders has a lot of support among Jews. I don't know what the numbers are though.

No he does not. He is a secular Jew & has moderate support

Female Hillary is not supported by females

They'll burn it hell for it.

A solid majority of American Jews are secular.

But overall I love your post.

I wouldn't say post-identity, I think it's more that the identities of candidates don't necessarily line up with the identities of their supporters. There's still clear appeals to identities, just not the ones you'd think.

Most Jews I know are supporting Sanders, but admittedly they're not a representative sample.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Only dumbs on Atlas think these sort of identity politics matter in 2016.

I don't doubt that he is.  But does he enjoy any particular advantage among Jewish voters?

There are of course lots of Jewish lefties that naturally gravitate towards Sanders, but there are a lot of moderate and DLC-type Democrats as well.

I saw something about one person who was supporting Bernie because he was Jewish. But they're only a tiny fraction of people supporting Hillary because she's a woman. Even if you take into account how small the Jewish population is.

Bernie's got the "red diaper baby" vote locked up, and some of the overlapping "urban Jewish elites."  Immigrant and traditional religious Jews don't play a big role in Democratic primaries I don't think.
