Julian Castro says his preparation to be president is 'more than enough'

Julián Castro said Sunday at South by Southwest that he is prepared to be president, and far better prepared than President Donald Trump.

In an interview at ACL Live at the Moody Theater, HuffPost editor-in-chief Lydia Polgreen, asked the former San Antonio mayor and secretary of Housing and Urban Development, “Is that enough to take on the toughest job in the world?”

“What people want is somebody who knows how to be effective,” said Castro, who said that those voters who thought that, with Trump, they were electing a businessman who could transfer those talents into getting things done, were wrong.

“He’s clueless,” Castro said of Trump.

“The president is a federal executive, that is also what a member of the Cabinet is,” Castro said. “People who look at the record will see that I was effective at that, but I also have a compelling and inclusive vision for the future of this country.”
