Who do you think would be more likely to be elected? A heterosexual white woman, a gay white man or a heterosexual white Jewish man?

Is it a massive undertaking to run as anything other than a white male in a heterosexual marriage who claims to be christian?
Yes.
Is that the same thing as being disqualifying?
No.

The white Jewish man. All he has to do is invoke the old testament and be very islamophobic. The right hates Muslims more than Jews.

Assuming they are identical in charisma/lack of real baggage and run the exact same campaigns I would expect it to go from best chance to least chance:
- Hetero white woman
- Hetero Jewish man
- Gay white man
But overall I do think the campaign and charisma will be the most important thing for the vast majority of Dem voters and all three could be viable candidates. Yes, they might pull a few less bigoted moderates.
Republicans won’t be nominating anyone other than a straight white ‘christian’ male.
