"I think that the country won't vote for a Jewish candidate for president at this point. "

We are less than 2% of the US population. (even less of the world)
I assume you're a New Yorker (My grandfathers were born there in the late 1800s) so it looks different to us, but many people in America have never met a Jew. When my father was stacking wheat in Colorado after WW2 nobody could believe he didn't have horns or that his buddy Angelo wasn't carrying a stiletto.
The country is that way still. When they say "coastal elites", when they say Rothschild, when they say Soros... it's important to know what they're saying.
