Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton won the backing of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro on Thursday and said she would seriously consider making the rising Hispanic leader her running mate if she wins her party’s nomination.
Clinton and the other Democrats in the November 2016 race for the White House have pushed hard for support among Hispanics, a fast-growing and critical voting bloc that has moved toward Democrats in recent elections as Republicans have stymied comprehensive immigration reform in Congress and disparaged Mexican immigrants on the campaign trail.
“I am going to look really hard at him for anything, because that’s how good he is,” Clinton said at a U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce meeting in San Antonio, Texas, when asked if Castro might be her vice presidential pick.
Appearing with Clinton at a later “Latinos for Hillary” rally, Castro said he has long respected her ability to appeal to people of all backgrounds.

Castro. Boy, there’s irony for you.
Talk about counting chickens.
Julian Castro is just another commie. She oughta pick Bernie Sanders as her running mate. He’s a popular commie with the dem base.
WHy can’t she pick Jeb Bush? seems like his only chance to stay in the game.
What’s the matter with Fidel? Is he too old?
Seems she’s in a quandry deciding which commie to pick.
FReepers predicted Cory Booker, DeVal Patrick, or Castro a year ago. Gotta get the ‘hood stimulated to turn out on election day.
There’s a HUGE selection for sure.
Probably the deciding factor is how much they can funnel into the Clinton Globull Initiative.
Bill also “looked hard” when he was with Monica Lewinsky.
VP...Yeh right....
She’s all done measuring and ordering the drapes!
So, she is picking a racist socialist.
Castro. Yikes! The next thing will be a Dem nominee named Hussein.
Oh wait ...
So many commies, so little time!
What’s a soulless witch to do?
I was trying not to go there.;)
But I was thinking only a woman could have made that innocuous statement without making the wrong impression.
