Castro Move to Obama Cabinet Puts Him One Step Closer to Becoming Hillary's VP Pick

[auditor0007]

The idea that Julian Castro would be on anyone's short list for VP is laughable. Outside of San Antonio, few people have ever heard of the guy. Even as the Director of HUD, only slightly more people will have heard of him by 2016.

By January 1, 2016, most Americans will know who Julian Castro is. Be assured, he is a work in progress.

 

[auditor0007]

I just think it's great democrats have finally come out to officially support Castro. We always knew it, but about time you came clean.

Try harder; it wasn't funny. Quite predictable actually.

You assume women will vote for someone because they're a woman and Latinos will vote for someone because they're Latino.

You know what that sounds like to me?

You can't oppose a black conservative around here without getting called a racist. Why do you suppose that is?

Because when conservatives oppose a black liberal they get called racist. That's why. We're just exposing the gross hypocrisy of the Left.

Conservatives basically opposed the black liberal because he was black.

That's why it's called racist.

I've been saying Castro will become Hillary's choice as her running mate come 2016. This almost feels orchestrated. Like him or not, this definitely would put Castro's name in the spotlight to give him better name recognition nationally.

Julian Castro To Be Offered Obama Cabinet Post, Reports Say

A year-and-a-half after he entered the national spotlight on the Democratic Party's biggest stage, San Antonio, Texas Mayor Julian Castro is reportedly in line for a bigger role in Washington.

The San Antonio Express News reported Saturday that Castro has been contacted about a cabinet post in President Barack Obama's administration, and Castro has signaled willingness to accept it. A separate source told KSAT-TV that the cabinet spot under consideration is currently filled. Both outlets reported that the FBI is beginning a background vetting process.

The 39-year-old Castro has served as mayor of San Antonio since May 2009. Back in September 2012, Obama chose Castro to deliver the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.

Castro did not mince words with his opportunity, arguing that GOP candidate Mitt Romney's policies would "dismantle" the middle class.

OBAMA OFFERS JULIAN CASTRO CABINET POSITION TO GROOM HIM FOR 2016?

President Barack Obama may have offered San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro a cabinet position in his administration, potentially grooming him to become Hillary Clinton's vice presidential nominee should she run and win the 2016 nomination.

Obama Offers Julian Castro Cabinet Position to Groom Him for 2016?

If Castro is to be Hillary's choice, Castro almost has to accept this position.

Yes it's orchestrated.

They're always groomed and propped up.

Remember Bill introducing the young up&coming junior Senator Obama at the DNC?
Take a scroll through Obama's committee positions and tell me he wasn't groomed all the way.

We've twice elected a man with the name Hussein. Why not a Castro?

 

[Meathead]

Or maybe they know he has no future in Texas politics?

Uhh..yes he does, he was re-elected in 2013 with 67% of the vote. He's 37 years old and very popular, he could keep being the mayor there for decades.

I guess having a community organizer president has paved the way for hamburger flippers and mid-sized city mayors.

Wouldn't it be reasonable to surmise that conservatives oppose liberals without the race pimping? I'm guessing it's sort of a reflex action.

Been predicting it since the 2012 election was over with. He gave a hell of a kenote adress and is currently the Mayor of a large city.

I am more than sure he is on a number of short lists.

No actually not. When asked in polling about their preferences, by blowout margins, Latinos, Blacks, Asians, African-Americans and Pacific-Islanders indicate that they prefer the Democratic Party based on what they see in the Party platform.

I have no problem with black or latino Conservatives. Bring it on, let's see a real exchange of ideas here. Oh wait, Cain, with his finger up a number of pussies, and with his grand old 9-9-9 and with his absolute ZERO information about international politics. Yepp, he was a real winner, but he was GOP flavor of the month in 2012, for about one month.

So, nice try there. Wanna pork rind?

thats only when we use the liberal standard that name calling equals racist. And since liberals cant do anything but name call black conservatives, it means thehre racist.


now if you agree with me, that name calling and racism are two different animals, then we can have a different discussion

Which Liberals? I have never called a black or latino Conservative anything but his actual name. I don't have a single Liberal in my circle of friends or acquaintances who has done it, either.

In fact, I kind of like Ben Carson. Not all of his ideas, but the person, sure, I like him.

You love to dish out generalities. Specifics? Far less so. Poor you.

Julian Castro: A Radical Revealed

Their mother, Rosie helped found a radical, anti-white, socialist Chicano party called La Raza Unida (literally “The Race United”) that sought to create a separate country—Aztlan—in the Southwest.
Today she helps manage her sons’ political careers, after a storied career of her own as a community activist and a stint as San Antonio Housing Authority ombudsman.
Far from denouncing his mother’s controversial politics, Castro sees them as his inspiration. As a student at Stanford Castro penned an essay for Writing for Change: A Community Reader (1994) in which he praised his mother’s accomplishments and cited them as an inspiration for his own future political involvement.

Certainly fits with the white hating racist candidates of Obama's administration no?

The fear mongering begins

And surely it will help the GOP to change it's latino statistic in 2016, from 27% to about 17%. Go, GOP, go!!!

 

[Statistikhengst]

Of course not.....and nobody is talking ALL women or ALL Hispanics

But Democrats received 73% of the Hispanic vote and 55% of the women's vote in 2012. Run the Hillary/Castro ticket and you will get more women and more Hispanics to show up at the polls. You also bump those percentages 2-5%

Numbers are not adding up for Republicans in 2016

Democrats have always received a large majority of the Hispanic vote; Bush 43 was an anomaly. As for women, Democrats have traditionally faired better with that group than Republicans. Hell, more women voted for Clinton despite the fact he was a known misogynistic pig. In fact, you people still worship the ground he walks on while accusing the Republicans of having a "war" on women.

You're not pointing out anything new.

True that..

And running a woman and a Hispanic will increase those percentages

Yepp.

The idea that Julian Castro would be on anyone's short list for VP is laughable. Outside of San Antonio, few people have ever heard of the guy. Even as the Director of HUD, only slightly more people will have heard of him by 2016.

He was the first hispanic ever to give the Keynote Address at a National Democratic Convention. He's frequently on national television. I think he's the youngest mayor of any of the biggest 50 cities in the USA.

He's more well known than you give him credit for. He's way more well known already then John Edwards or Sarah Palin ever were

Yepp.

 

[Statistikhengst]

The imagery of a Hillary Castro ticket is more than frightening.

I can understand that. Ignorant people are often afraid of all sorts of things.

Not really.

Most people opposing Obama were code talking..but it was pretty obvious.

How many candidates, throughout history, were attacked for their national origin?

And no conservative was "mad" that Obama is half Irish.

You guys really do need a new code.

 

[Statistikhengst]

You assume women will vote for someone because they're a woman and Latinos will vote for someone because they're Latino.

You know what that sounds like to me?

It's Dem thinking. All blacks vote the same way because they all think the same way. All women vote the same way because they all think the same way. All Hispanics, ditto. Anyone who doesn't is obviously mentally ill and a freak and can be ridiculed at will.
It's how they roll.

You do not gave after all of the votes, just the majority. Republicans were always satisfied with the White vote. Dems are smart enough to have realized that is not the future of politics. Republicans, slow thinkers whose lips move when they read, are taking quite a while to get that through their heads.

is that like how if you were against what the President wanted you were a racist?....why do you suppose that was?....

That was....and is....not accurate. It has been a staple concept bought into by many USMB nutters.....but it is not based in fact.

Conservatives oppose liberals just as liberals oppose conservatives, is that so bloody hard for even a tired hack like yourself to comprehend?! If anything, Obama has been given a lot of leeway because he's black.

OK, put up or shut up. Who attacked Obama for being partially of Kenyan origin, and I'm not talking about your lunatic counterparts on the right?

We've twice elected a man with the name Hussein. Why not a Castro?

Yes, why not?

Because intelligent people know that having the same family name as someone from the past doesn't mean you are the same person as that other figure.

This is why we can have a crook like Richard Nixon be elected the Presidency and resign in utter disgrace, and yet, Jay Nixon (same last name, to note) was easily elected as Democratic Governor of Missouri in 2009.

And the name Hussein means so much as "Joe" in Arabic. BFD.

Nixon never took a bribe from a convicted felon like Obama did from Rezko

Nixon TALKED about the IRS, Obama used it against his "Enemies"

Nixon never had the NSA spy on people

Yepp, he was, and at the end of the day, he so much as admitted it. Oh, and the fact that the Congress was definitely going to impeach him:
