Perfect: the 1st generation bastard child of an illegal immigrant. That’s just about where we are at as a nation and you can thank the open borders crew for that.

Is he “clean and articulate”

Did he vote “present” on every bill except the one permitting partial birth abortion?

He or his brother were supposedly on Hilary’s short list for VP running mate. That didn’t happen. He’s not known for much else, other than being very progressive and palling around with La Raza types.

Great.

His mother was a Chicana political activist who helped establish the Chicano political party La Raza Unida.

I have long thought this might happen.

I know this — he has 2 legs up for the dem nomination (sorry, don’t try to visualize this). They CAN’T nominate a white man, that’s a given. But he has 1) gay cred and 2) the hispanic card.

Now that America is officially a banana republic, somebody named Castro would be a perfect fit. The Russkis would love it.

Anyone know if both of his parents were citizens when he was born?

If not, he is just as ineligible as the Kenyanesian Usurper.

Apparently Castro and Davis believe that enough Californians and Mexicans will relocate to Texas by 2020 to turn it blue.

This is awesome news. Once Michele announces her candidacy, Castro will be forced aside and the hispanic anger that their turn was unfairly spoiled will ignite. The democrat party has built itself out of angry partisan interest-groups, each thinking they should be in charge.

“Joaquín and I got into Stanford because of affirmative action. I scored 1210 on my SATs, which was lower than the median matriculating student. But I did fine in college and in law school.” From Wiki

Hmmmm, they did “fine” huh? Was it “Magna Cum Fine”?

Oh puleeze. Just keep your ugly-azzed face out of sight. We just suffered and are still suffering looking at Wide-Load Clinton for years.

He’s a smooth talker. Lefty voters will eat that up.

He’s angling for the #2 spot on the ticket behind Kamala Harris. It’s a done deal that Kamala is getting the nomination. She has more legs up than Fidel...I mean “Julian.”
