This joker got 7.6 Million bucks for this run...

Tell you what Democrats, just send your cash to me, and I will ensure that I will provide the same electoral outcome as any of your Presidential candidates will have this cycle....

That being an absolute loss for the White House.

Totally expected!

The question is why did he even bother running in the first place?

“Not surprised.”

This little creep had as much chance as a snowball in hades. He was not a good mayor for San Antonio, Texas. It was all about EGO,period. Glad to see him go, but he should return the money he got in donations.

Dropping out seems silly at this point. Just cut staff and wait until your turn to take the lead. You don’t have to travel all over the country. Just go talk to some people in Iowa. How much could that possibly cost?

The only ones I take seriously* are Warren, Biden, and That old Communist.

*seriously is a relative term. I really take none of them seriously compared to real politicians that have some semblance of professionalism. They are all idiocracy on parade. Not them, but the people that honestly believe any of them would be a good president.

Julián Castro raises $800,000 in 10-day span to stay in presidential race

That was Nov 1st and I never saw a campaign ad anywhere.

Must be nice to collect 800 grand and then do nothing.

He tried to put section 8 housing in middle class neighborhoods. Especially white neighborhoods. I don’t mind diversity, but you have to be able to afford to live in my neighborhood. I plan on stating my ethnicity as African American on the next census just to add a touch of diversity in my neighborhood as a hedge against liberal government planners.

He might drop out now so that humiliating Iowa numbers don't taint a future run.

You do not belong in this race. Julián Castro does. I actively resent you buying your way in, while public servants like Castro and Harris were edged off the stage. You’re not helping.

@TomPerez
: the
@DNC
process is profoundly flawed. Profoundly.

big buck$ into NH primary race
though poll numbers, at least for
Steyer, aren’t much better than
Castro’s)
