By every calculation, Julian Castro would be the ideal running mate for Hillary Clinton should she avoid criminal prosecution and gain the Democratic nomination. He is young, Hispanic, a former mayor of San Antonio, smack dab in the great red state of Texas, and the current Secretary of HUD in the Obama administration.

I’m from San Antonio. Keep that guy well away from the levers of power. He’s a Hispanic Obama, complete with America-hating Mommy. I despise him and his brother (politically speaking) with every fiber of my being.
