And it seems to me that one of these 4 will be the one... just like in the case of Obama being the 1st black POTUS, we would see more 1st's

First non politician to be POTUS
First Hispanic to be POTUS
First woman to be POTUS
First Jew to be POTUS

are referred to as "crypto-Jews". Not saying it matters, just a stickler
for accuracy.

Rubbish.

Eisenhower WAS a non-politician who was elected President, though.

Obama has some Jewish in him also.
Is Obama Jewish? | Subverted Nation
His father, part Ethiopian Jew (grandfather so noted above link),
also had another child with a white Jewish woman, besides his mother.
No, we're not a normal family, says Obama's Jewish half-brother | The Times of Israel

do you have a problem with Jewish lineage of our Presidents ?
Ike was half Jewish. FDR family were Dutch Jews. Bush has Jews
in his family tree. What's the problem ?

I know this will irk some that think some other candidates still have life, but the reality is, the thread title should be: When Trump, Cruz, HRC or Sanders win the Presidency (not "if").

Using history as our guide, no one has ever won the GOP nomination without finishing first in either Iowa or NH. I'll say it again. No one. GOP will be either of these two. As for D, there are only two left, so that is simple.

One of these four individuals will be sworn in on January 2017.

Let that sink in.
