Clinton-Castro 2016: Hillary grooming Julian Castro for VP?

[wyldwolf]

Hillary Clinton already has a running mate for 2016 in mind, according to several news sources.

Clinton is reportedly eying Incoming Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro for the role of vice president should she run again and is keeping the former San Antonio, Texas, mayor and his twin brother, Rep. Joaquin Castro, 'very close' just in case, says the Washington Post.

7. +1

Some people think this is going to be a correntation. I have some bad news for them, it's not.

4. Never, ever. No more Bushes, no more Clintons.

Basta.

6. Castro would negate the GOP's nominee, Marco Rubio, so fine with me. nt

8. She's fucking desperate, sending out all these trial balloons

Her inevitability is slowly drifting away.

She ought to just STFU, she doesn't wear well. It's 27 months until the election and people are already getting sick of her. Although it is sort of funny to watch her self destruct.

10. #@%@#@!!!

17. Liberals will swallow the pill.

It's going to be epic.

9. Well then, since everything's decided for 2016, it's on to 2024

Who will Castro choose as his running mate, and more importantly, who will be his running mate's running mate in 2032?

[Jim Lane]

13. Chelsea Clinton will be eligible by then.

2016: Clinton-Castro
2020: Clinton-Castro
2024: Castro-Clinton
2028: Castro-Clinton
and then there's the other twin, who deserves his chance and will still be only 58...
2032: Clinton-Castro
2036: Clinton-Castro

So the only really open question is who will be Castro's running mate in 2040. Maybe we should start a DU poll?

14. Malia Obama of course.

We have to mix it up every once in a while!

11. Smell of Desperation from the anointed one

12. The arrogance of Hillary is only matched by the arrogance of many of her supporters.

15. This has been somewhat obvious since at least 2012 I think.

Obama and Clinton have wanted a Clinton-Castro ticket for a while. Every move they've made with him seems calculated to put him on the ticket then.

Hillary isn't my preferred nominee, but it's a great ticket if that's what my fellow Democrats end up going with.

[joshcryer]

16. Yes. Demographics. 2024 will be a Latino President.

It's simple and it's been planned for years now.
