Early in the new year, the first of what are expected to be several dozen Democratic presidential wannabes are making preliminary announcements to supporters and the media of their intentions to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020. The first Latino politician out of the gate is Julián Castro, who announced his candidacy on Saturday, January 12. Castro is the 44-year-old former mayor of San Antonio who served as the secretary of housing and urban development during the last three years of the Obama administration. He is the grandson of a Mexican woman who "crossed" to the U.S. in 1922. Almost every article I read about Castro recently describes him as "a rising star in the Democratic Party."

This Castro guy looks weird. It looks like he has no ears.
These early no-names (and have no realistic expectation of advancing in primaries) are all in for one thing -
The earlier you get in the horse race, the easier to attract early money. This is all about themselves advancing.
Not one of them could clearly answer WHY they want to lead the USA.
I've said before that Castro is too unattractive to be elected Prez. He's not gonna make the ladies swoon the way Beto did. In fact, he's kind of off-putting.
We need the Not This S#!t Again guy, en espanol.
I did a search....looks like they’ve disappeared that one :- /
Kirten air head “Silly Gilly” Gillibrand is going to announce tonight on a serious news show, Colbert? Ever heard of it?
He looks to me like his (unknown) daddy was a grey. Just something UFOish about him and his twin brother.
