Hillary Clintons campaign is likely to choose Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Julián Castro or another Hispanic politician to be her running mate, former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros said in an interview that will air Sunday.

Reference your Post #3: The problem is, 50 percent of the American voters don’t give a crap. All they care about is “Whatcha gonna do for me?”
=================================================
UNIVISION agit-prop to clinch the $$$$ deal begins. Manipulating the financial sector---now reporting Univision has more viewers than abccbsnbc.
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
NYP EXCERPT---Univions trotted out Bill Clinton to talk to advertisers----as private equity owners of the debt-laden company sweat. Univisions owners are hoping to launch the IPO in just weeks. Getting early commitments on ad spending from Madison Avenue would certainly make an IPO road show before potential investors that much easier....they hope to raise around $1 billion at a valuation of $20 billion, according to Reuters. (Univision has $9 billion in long-term debt.) Mexican program provider Televisa also has an 8 percent stake.Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank the lead underwriters are getting ready to gin up some sizzle for a not very sexy business: free-to-air .

THE BIG BURRITO---HILLARY/BILL CLINTON MEDIA CONNECTION---Latino-TV Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets. (WIKI)
WIKI--Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.[5]
Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings.
Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.[23] Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."[23]
The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the White House several times during President Clinton's two terms." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."[5]
Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24]
During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that "Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 20012002 cycle." [25] Saban's donations during that 20012002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.
In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues."[5] In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20]
In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.
In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to "keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries."[27] The donors, who "were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign", "were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party 'superdelegates' should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate."[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors "have been strong supporters of the DCCC" and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.
On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had "offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization's two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat."[28]
Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."[38]
Haim Saban, a worldwide pioneer and leader in the
entertainment industry, is the Chairman and CEO of
Saban Capital Group, Inc.

Hillary needs to nail down the illegal alien, La Raza vote.

What makes you think she doesn’t have them in her corner already? I’m serious in asking that question. Do you know something I don’t?
Eight years ago folks were saying no one will vote for an unknown someone named Hussein.
Where did you see that information? 8 years ago?
She could be attracting two (2) key constituency groups - if you catch my drift.
I’d be concerned about being offed by my power hungry VP’s criminal associates.
“an unknown names Hussein”
I was one of them. So soon after 9/11 , I thought no way.
They couldn't find anyone named Stalin. Castro is the next best thing.
If only he hadn’t killed himself, the Dems could choose Ariel Castro as Hillary’s running mate. He was the perfect representative for what the left wants to do to everyone in this country - enslavement and control.
I doubt if too many folks will vote for someone named “Castro”
I thought the same thing in 2008. Why would anyone vote for a candidate named Barack Hussein Obama after the 9/11/2001 terrorist attack????? But, enough idiots did not put 2 plus 2 together. And look what we were left with.
Are many of the US voters even aware of the evil and corruption of Fidel and Raul Castro and how they have destroyed the Cuban people? I am afraid that the answer is NO.
Wilkow called it months ago, “welcome to the favella”
