Julián Castro announces 2020 White House bid
By Rafael Bernal - 01/12/19 12:53 PM EST

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro (D) announced Saturday that he will launch a bid for the White House in 2020.

"I am a candidate for President of the United States of America," he said.

Castro, 44, had long been rumored to be in the running for president, after sitting out the 2018 Texas gubernatorial and Senate elections.

The former Obama-era housing chief announced last month that he was forming an exploratory committee for a possible 2020 presidential run. If elected, he would be the country's first Hispanic president.

Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) acknowledged in introducing his twin brother Saturday that he would join a crowded Democratic field, but pitched him as the best option.

Castro knew he wouldn't defeat Cruz in all likelihood for Senate and so he didn't run and Castro had a good idea, he'd run for President.  He didn't want that loss on his record. Castro made O'Rourke a sort of star after all of that.

I heard in the past, first debate is in March. So, that's why all of these folks are coming out now.

In related and equally important news, former president Jimmy Carter has not yet announced whether he will seek a second term in 2020...

His signs said "One nation. One destiny." but he forgot to add "Two Languages."

Why don’t they just draw lots and save the DNC a ton of money. Their candidates are all interchangeable, anyway. All equally clueless how to make America safer, stronger and more prosperous.

Democrats. Without them, how would we distinguish who the winners are?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hoolian was so proud that only two generations after his grandmother came to America as a seven year old orphan, one of her grandsons is in Congress and the other is running for President. And Hoolian wants to change this country that allowed that to happen. Why Hoolian, why?

I can't keep up with all the scumbags but I don't know who Julian Castro is.

God help us if he gets the nomination. I had a hunch he was going to run and have mentioned him several times.  He to me, is a huge threat not only to the GOP but to the country.  IMHO he has the ability to turn TX blue.

His mother  was a Chicana political activist who helped establish the Chicano political party La Raza Unida.

For those that don't know who LaRaza is:

He will undoubtedly bring in the Hispanic vote, the votes of the progressive left and I believe that they WILL have illegals voting.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
