Hillary’s Unqualified Top VP Choice
Daily Beast ^ | May 18, 2015 | MATT LEWIS

Julian Castro is attractive and charismatic. He also has no business being a heartbeat away from the presidency. Let’s get this out of the way early: Hillary Clinton’s rumored No. 1 choice for vice president would be the least-qualified nominee for the job in decades.

Sure, it’s a little early to play Hillary “veepstakes,” but when you don’t really have a primary to worry about, you get speculation like this: During a Spanish-language interview with Univision’s Al Punto the other day, Henry Cisneros, Bill Clinton’s former HUD secretary, predicted current HUD Secretary Julián Castro would be Hillary Clinton’s running mate in 2016.

It's all over the web. Hillary's choice for VP. Julian Castro is said to be the least qualified VP nominee in decades. But ethnicity trumps qualification especially with the considerable voting block that comprise Latino voters. Adding to that is the probability of Hillary legalizing 11 million Latinos towards becoming citizens and Juan Castro could be even less qualified than Zero, not ever even need having been a Community leader to make a difference.

Hillary’s VP will have zero significance if Hillary wins. Nobody shares the stage with Bill and Hillary.

She’s better off picking Cisneros.

Less qualified than Dorkbama, the low IQ quota boy?

Nothing in the multiverse is less qualified than our golfing cretin.

Nothing.

Well, that's the trend that the Democratic party is going towards. It's not as if Obama was over qualified unless community organizing is qualification.

My guess...this is a trial balloon, sent out to the MSM in order to accomplish three goals, in no particular order: to establish the sense of inevitability for Hillary!’s nomination; to give Hillary! street cred with the Latino community; to see just how young and inexperienced a VP nominee can be and still be acceptable, given that there is a huge age gap between the Old Guard and the Young Turks, and essentially no one in their 40s-50s capable of being a Dem VP candidate.

Who is this Julian Guy, I though we normalized relations with Cuba so RAUL CASTRO could be her running mate.

When it comes to Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, and Bobby Jindal the MSM are like “ho hum”, but make no doubt they’re wetting their pants with excitement over this. The chance to be kingmakers to help get the first female president and the first Latino vice president elected is causing orgasms among the MSM.

When sex genitalia and language spoken are the only qualifications for Election ,..
is there any wonder why the media was able to sell the nation on electing someone only on the basis of race ?
And you thought the uneducated American citizenry was more intelligent than that .. !

I’d think Cruz/RandPaul would play well against that combination.

But can Julian Castro spell "patatae?"
