Could a Jewish candidate win the Republican Presidential primaries?

Yeah probably. It would be fun to count how many times they said “judeo-Christian values”.

can't see it

the Southern base will especially reject any Jews. They have the perception that they're all in charge of Hollywood, that Jews don't even think they're white, etc.

Really? I feel like the average person doesn’t even realize how heavily jewish Hollywood and other elite parts of the US are because to even mention it is completely taboo.

George Allen was a Jewish Southern conservative who ran like a hillbilly Ku Klux Klanner of the 1950s where he had a noose in his law office before he was a Congressman and a Governor and Senator....

If Macaca didn't use those terms against Jim Webb, he could have won reelection and probably would have been McCain's 2008 running mate. Allen would have been harsher towards Obama than Palin and would have been more than welcome to use racial slurs towards Obama worse than Palin did.

George Allen was a practicing Protestant whose mother was ethnically Jewish, something he went out of his way to not mention.
