Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro on Wednesday launched a presidential exploratory committee, a significant step toward mounting a presidential bid in 2020.
Castro said he would make an announcement about his plans on January 12 in Texas. Castro's decision to form an exploratory committee, which is often seen as a formality before starting a presidential campaign and allows him to start raising money, gives him a jumpstart in what's expected to be a crowded Democratic field, which already consists of two declared candidates -- Rep. John Delaney of Maryland and Richard Ojeda, a former congressional candidate in West Virginia who lost his 2018 bid. "As a kid growing up on the west side of San Antonio, I never thought that I'd one day be making this announcement," the former San Antonio mayor tweeted Wednesday. "I'm exploring a candidacy for President of the United States in 2020 to renew the promise of this country for all." In a brief phone interview, Castro told CNN that he is "definitely leaning in one direction in terms of my candidacy for president," and felt now was the right time.

We’ve had a Hussein so might as well have a Castro.
Wonder if Julian and his family will produce their tax returns?
He will get the Queer Hispanic vote for sure!
Thought he was running in 2024
What’s in a name?
“ Castro for President”
That oughta be a winner in Miami-Dade
This is the beginning of the push for Hispanic dominance of the RAT Party. All those Black and White RAT politicians who support sanctuary cities and amnesty will learn that allowing illegals into the country will eventually have negative consequences for them too!
Run, Castro, run. We want you to.
“That oughta be a winner in Miami-Dade”
True. But Broward County can manufacture all sorts of votes to offset any losses in Miami-Dade ...
Definitely gets the skinny jeans, hipster vote...Looks like a homosexual.
Is he a homosexual...If he is not, he definitely looks like he is in the closet.
Not a very manly looking guy, I could see China and Russia pushing him around.
Probably wet the bed if he got “the” 3:00 am call.
That's okay, we got this.
The dembedwetters will not nominate a man (they would give an ethnic man, especially a switch-hitter, a second look, maybe). They are very impatient to have the first harpie president. I don’t think it can be a white one, either.
That is how identity-group conscious they’ve become.
It will be oprah (and she will lose). My reasoning is that the field is so crowed, and no one but soros rules the party so there’s no one to narrow the field behind closed doors. They will eviscerate each other and expose the fissures in the party. There will be no consensus. They will draft oprah sometime in May or June of 2020. They will do that after cancelling several primaries. It will be a debacle.
Who and who-er?
Of Cuba?
BFD In less than a decade after 911 we elected a Hussien
Word was donors wouldn't commit to Irish until it became clear who was in and who was not. Castro had to freeze the money....at least for a while.
The latest pretty boy they will dress up and turn into a fake personality that is nothing like the real thing. A sure sign is a picture on the cover of time “magazine.” Then it will start, with the news media painting a picture of him as he isn’t.
