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.

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.
The smartest guy I know told me in late 2007:
The American people will never elect a Muslim guy from Kenya named Baraq Hussein....
An illegal alien for VP...
yeah that’s the ticket..
LOL! Yeah, right? No offense to honest Cuban-Americans but man, that name is going to go over like a lead balloon.
Well said, and true. LOL!
No doubt about it, Hillary’s for Hillary.
Gay Mexican - two points!
Extra appeal to the extra chromosome voters.
Even funnier, the twin Commie dorks don’t know how to speak Spanish !
she will sell her soul for one frickin’ vote!
That was sold a long time ago, assuming she ever had one.
Perfect pick. He’s as shallow and artificial as she is.
This was always the plan. My SIL suggested him as VP 3 years ago.
Talk about Clinton going all out commie on us. Castro is an America-hating bass turd. Clinton is definitely going after the illegal alien invader, freeloader vote. Americans need to wake up. America can’t take much more ‘RAT “history”. These are the people de Toqueville warned us about.
Castro is just like obozo. He was a figurehead mayor of San Antonio. No accomplishments and no track record for anything except grinning like a dunce for photos.
Do it. Probably guarantees a Cruz VP slot.
Andrew Wilkow has been predicting this for the last two years. Before dismissing him, keep in mind, he’s the guy responsible for locating all the “refugees” from South America and the Middle East into red districts.
So Hispanics/Latinos are supposed to be jumping up and down because one of them is a second position pick?
Ho. Hum.
The GOP has two of them actually running for the top pick.
Right. Pick a La Raza proponent, in order to pander to radical Hispanics in San Antonio. The Castro twins are poison to traditional American values (as is Hillary).
