Yeah, a woman on the GOP ticket might help-—methinks Carly Fiorina is angling for the spot. But I do believe a latino GOP candidate would be a 2016 killer.

[KC_Conspirator]

Exactly my point.

But those hypocrites in the media have dozens of other examples too.

[MisterArtery]

I live 30 miles from San Antonio and have been deluged with the Castro twins since moving here. In every photo they’re grinning like village idiots. San Antonio mayor is a low-paid, virtually powerless office. The mayor is mainly a PR flak with a big expense account. The Castro twins are just another example of under-accomplished, Marxist dullards with convenient melanin.

the odds of Mrs. Clinton picking another woman for the ticket are “zero” .... which eliminates Wendy Davis, the liberal darling of Texas Democrats

I'd say Wendy Davis last campaign pretty much eliminated her . . . Not even rabid feminists could be seriously considering her.

On a side note, I am sorry that you had to put yourself through watching “The West Wing”. I can only assume you were doing it for opposition research purposes; its a tough job but my salute to you for doing it.

This was as predictable as wrinkles on Hillary’s face... having a communist Castro on ticket while pushing 100% amnesty is a “can’t miss” for the hispanic vote.

[ScottinVA]

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

This noise would've been laughed off in the 1950s. But nowadays, America submissively obeying the dictates of other nations' leaders is normal practice.

Hillary pushing 100% amnesty w/ a latino VP running mate is a “can’t miss” for the hispanic vote.

Mmmmm.....I'm not so sure about that.

According to behavioral scientists, sucking-up to sociopaths does not always have the desired results.

Obama is the plus-perfect example----Americans were told they should elect a Black man to show "what a great country we are"....assuming he would be so grateful, he'd bend over backward to preserve our freedoms and defend our country from all enemies.

Just the opposite happened---he turned on the very people who elected him---and is sucking-up to terrorists, brigands, and barbarians overrunning our country

I predicted this years ago. Hillary needs would choose either Julian Castro or Cory Booker as VP, to try to get the minority vote.

I bet on Castro because the Democrat GOTV machine can get blacks to the polls, but is not as strong with Latinos. Therefore, I predicted Hillary would pick a Latino. She needs to pick a younger candidate to build the future of the party. She cannot go with Bill Richardson, he is too old. She also needs to go with someone from Texas to try to turn that state from Red to Purple. She needs to go with a radical leftist because that is the future of the Democrat party. That leaves Castro.

An added bonus for Castro is it again lets Hate America First Democrat voters vote for someone who shares the name of one of America's historical enemies. They got to vote for Saddam Hussein's namesake in 2008 and 2012. Now they can vote for Fidel Castro's namesake in 2016.

A Republican Latino either at the top or the VP slot of the GOP ticket would require Hillary to pick a Latino, but I think it is a done deal.

[Moltke]

Going by that photo I’d say he ticks the homosexual box as well. No wonder Hillary looks so happy.

WRT the latino vote---they believe their own agit-prop.

Going into 2014 midterms, taking cues from their Central American handlers, organized latino pressure groups were heaping scorn upon those opposed to amnesty---assorted latino pressure groups threatened Republicans with extinction, they rallied around Democrats---saying "the latino vote was going to destroy Republicans."

REALITY CHECK--AMNESTY-SUCKING DEMOCRATS DROWNED IN A SEA OF RED ---2014 MIDTERM results evidenced not a single state, local or political entity claiming victory w/ latino votes.

2014 was a tsunami that submerged AMNESTY-SUCKING DEMOCRATS in waves of defeat. Democrats who ran on amnesty were soundly defeated. Fox's Britt Hume said the latino vote was not even a factor. Republicans won historic one-for-the-books elections.

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA---the spectrum of Republican
takeover---as of midnight 11/5/14.La, Alaska Senate
races went Repub. Arizona House recount elected a
Repub. Other down-ticket races also went Repub.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

Or the U.S. can save rather than spend money and stop fueling violence among drug gangs by no longer inflating drug prices with its War on Drugs. Just sayin' ...

I liked The West Wing. It was unrepentantly Liberal, but my BS filters are more than strong enough for stuff like that.

The show had good character development, dialogue and storytelling. But where it really shined was in shedding light into how things really happen inside the sausage factory. It was a result of the writers having good tech advisors (former White House staffers from both parties) to draw details from.

Which I guess does qualify as “opposition research.”. Like being able to refer back to that Jimmy Smits/Alan Alda exchange.

One thing I also liked was how the LEFT got really annoyed by the juxtapostion of the ficticious idealist Liberal administration on West Wing and what they were actually getting with the more craven and cynical Clinton Administration. I remember the show being called “What the Clinton Administration Should Have Been.”

“They want to put a guy named CASTRO on the ticket?”

CLINTON/CASTRO 2016

Yeah, I’d put that bumper sticker on my car because it would be the death knell for Hitlary

[Poison Pill]

CLINTON/CASTRO 2016

Buh bye Florida.

[KC_Conspirator]

Correct, there is a reason that it was called “The Left Wing”. And its a good point that the show was how liberals wanted to have a revisionist view of the Klinton WH.

[Nifster]

oh swell..... two avowed commies to run our country. What could possibly go wrong???
