Anthony Foxx-NC/Julian Castro-TX or Julian Castro-TX/Anthony Foxx-NC is the ticket that could lead
Democrats to victory in 2020.
Both of these guys are former Cabinet Secretaries under Obama and former city Mayors meaning they have the experience to perform the duties of the President/Vice President. Both of these guys are from a minority ethic group (African/Hispanic)- it could increase voter turnout in the African American/Hispanic American community helping Democrats win AZ,NC,and FL along with the Clinton 2016 states-287ev. Both of these candidates could appeal to White Moderates from the suburbs.
Foxx-NC has a better chance getting over 270ev needed to unseat Trump/Pence than unseating US Senator Thom Thillis-R in November 2020. Same goes for Castro-TX regarding unseating Cruz-R in 2018 or Cornyn-R in 2020.
