Just thinking ahead. Our candidate (he OR she) will need a Vice Presidential candidate. I know at least Julian Castro (HUD Secy) has been mentioned as a possibility. Can he or his twin, Rep Joaquín Castro (D-TX) fill the role of oppositional eliminator?

(46,166 posts)They're just so soft spoken and polite in an atmosphere that at least requires some volume.
That's the best way I can explain how I feel. They're Dem "good guys".

I am dreaming of EW.

(39,313 posts)but from what I've seen Castro is sharp and quick with rhetoric.
His mother was an activist, they'll attack her for being a Marxist probably.

(6,999 posts)I see Rubio's support going to Kasich. He will surpass Cruz. I see Kasich on the the Republican ticket as the nominee or VP pick. Trump won't run third party.
This is serious. Neither Castro has held state-wide office.

(7,596 posts)The guy's an empty suit, as far as I'm concerned, and has no place on a national ticket until he actually accomplishes something and gets a more extensive resume. The Republicans would have a field day with such an unqualified guy being a heartbeat away from the presidency. And, yes, I know Trump is embarrassingly unqualified to be president as well but since when has that shitbag ever cared about not being hypocritical?
