After our first Black President, a woman for President and a Latino for VP...speaking of firsts. He'll bring in a lot of Hillary Hesitant voters...for sure. The Hispanics will turn out strongly, as well. Finally, a shot at the White House.

So proud to be a Democrat !

Julian? When did this start becoming a thing? I love the Castros, but is he ready? I figured I'd be seeing good things from them in the future, but...2016?

Okay. I'm game. It makes Hillary more appealing to me. No, I do not hate Hillary.

Edit: Okay, quickie Google and, it's 'sort of' a thing. Huh...I like this thing. Offta more reading...

9. If we are going to draft George Clinton, I think he should have input on his running mate.

I'd like to see Momma Castro in the white house one day and not only as a guest either

Hillary I'll vote for with enthusiasm if she is the nominee no doubt.

Way before being "Hispanic" was cool. Seems I remember she hung out a bit with Cesar Chavez...another trail blazer. These young men who grew up without a father, have been groomed for greatness.

Hillary from 2016-2024 followed by Julian or Joaquin (either one, they're both pretty awesome) from 2024-2032. By that time, you'd have to be basically over thirty years old to remember a time when a white guy was the President of the United States.

For the American Dynasties. Royalty here we come. Predetermined lines of succession what could go wrong?
Why bother to vote we can just give whomever family member of the Clinton's, Obama's, or Castro's the Crown.
Lord knows nobody with new ideas or life changing policies would ever come along in a 30 yr span.

Having the first female president would be a huge deal (regardless of her last name). But you want eight years of Elizabeth Warren? Sure. I'm down with that as well. And having the first Latino president would also be a very huge deal. And a Castro Administration would also be the first from an American born after Vietnam and Watergate -- they're the next generation of leadership.

You did not name one Qualification Quality any of these people hold, all you did is list what Milestone they would be. Seems like they are Objects to pass Mile Posts in the Road you have set up.

What qualifications does Hillary Clinton have to be President? A former United States Senator and Secretary of State? Julian Castro is a three time Mayor of San Antonio and current HUD Secretary, and Joaquin is currently a member of Congress. I strongly suspect that by 2024, they will both have added significantly to their resumes.
