Clinton/Castro

[libertybele]

A Clinton/Castro team would certainly not only draw the female vote but also the Hispanic vote as well.  Disgusting thought I know, but a very probable one.  Even more disgusting is that Julian Castro's mother  was a Chicana political activist who helped establish the Chicano political party La Raza Unida.  This would be our worst nightmare.  God help us all if she makes it in.  IMHO Barry has already set the stage with his push to "integrate" wealthy neighborhoods. If Clinton gets in it seems almost certain that she will continue Barry's transformation of America.  She doesn't care.  She has amassed millions of dollars and she is foaming at the mouth to become the most powerful woman in the world at any cost.


Hillary has already picked her VP, so there’s one less thing to worry about

I’ve heard of being a little quick on the draw to order new curtains for the Oval Office, but Hillary Clinton may be skipping a few steps in the normal process if she’s already setting up living quarters for her Vice President. Still, you have to admire confidence in a competitor. So who shall it be? The Hill reported on Saturday that there’s really only one choice.

    Hillary Clinton’s campaign is likely to choose Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Julián Castro or another Hispanic politician to be her running mate, former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros said in an interview that will air Sunday.

    “What I am hearing in Washington, including from people in Hillary Clinton’s campaign, is that the first person on their lists is Julián Castro, the … Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, who use[d] to be the Mayor of San Antonio,” he said in an interview with Univision’s “Al Punto.”

“They don’t have a second option, because he is the superior candidate considering his record, personality, demeanor and Latin heritage.”

There are two quotes there of particular interest. First, it must make Secretary Castro feel particularly warm and fuzzy to hear that the only real choice is him or some other Hispanic. In other words, his particular qualifications for the job really don’t have anything to do with it, much as is the case with the prospective President Hillary. It’s all about diversity and making sure you check all the right boxes. We’ve had the First Black President and they are working on The First Female President. Lucky Julian has pulled the short straw to become The First Hispanic President, at least in the eyes of Democrat strategists. If you ran some boring old white male people might start asking questions about what they actually plan to do.

The other fascinating quote coming out of that story is the admission that “they don’t have a second option.” The obvious Democrat spin is that Castro is so qualified, why would you look at anyone else? But Jim Geraghty suspects there may be less to that line of argument than meets the eye.

    A one-option veep list? That Democratic bench isn’t just thin, it’s anorexic. And do Democrats really want to put the 40–year-old Castro a heartbeat away from the presidency? If this pans out, we’ll get to watch Democrats and the media insisting that Castro’s time as mayor of San Antonio and two years at HUD represented some sort of American policy renaissance and an era of bold leadership.

Castro looks flaming gay. Too much the pretty boy and no threat to Hillary.

Not saying that Casto is a threat to Hillary but to the GOP as he is predicted to be her VP.
