At this point in time, I am interested in learning more about Julian Castro. I recently was talking with a colleague from my former work campus who is from Guatemala and another friend too, who is Mexican, and both individuals find that Castro's bid for US President, is something they can get behind and support.

So I am watching with great interest, with regard to Beto O'Rourke and Julian Castro, and continue to explore background information concerning the two and remain willing to support any person who ends up being the Democratic nominee for US President.

Btw, I can see Stacy Abrams as US President. She's got a heart for helping to liberate those oppressed in her home state and I find her track record appealing --- both for a bid to be Senator and if one day too, US President. I see the spirit of Kwanzaa about her and appreciate her conduct and decorum in all things known about Stacy Abrams.

Stacy Abrams was robbed! Still, her composure and tact were admirable, and I hope she has a bright future in Democratic politics.
In Texas, Beto really made a splash in the midterm Senate race against the loathsome Ted Cruz. He seemed to savor all the national attention and he made some noteworthy remarks on controversial issues. He's just a lovable guy.
However, his recent cross country solo tour made me wonder how he could embark on such a lengthy trip after having just been on the campaign trail the entire year before. Doesn't he like to be with his wife and little kids?
Perhaps Trump has made me paranoid about the selfishness some politicians show, but when Beto's tour included a video with him sitting in a dental chair for a tooth cleaning, it hit me the wrong way. I mean, seriously, how much does he think we want to see of him?
I still like him and hope he does well in the POTUS primaries, but I want a president who is strictly business, knows his or her shit, and frankly someone who bores me rather than grabbing my attention like some gimmicky reality star.
That brings to mind Julian Castro--a policy wonk and straight arrow* who never seemed desperate to grab the spotlight as HUD Secretary, or the mayor of a large city. His humility is at a premium after Trump's lack thereof.
Add to that, today's entrance of the fabulous Camilla Harris, a brilliant prosecutor, an effective California AG, and an even more effective legislator for California.
Seems to me, the females in both houses are more willing to lock horns with Trump and his robotic GOP legislators.
We need an Amazon or Superman to preside over the White House after this lunatic--especially when it comes to repairing the damage he did with NATO and our European allies.
I think it would also help our international reputation to elect anyone but another straight, white guy. They've had 200+ years to eff things up, and
they no longer adequately represent America's richly diverse population.

* Speaking of arrows, Hispanic Americans have started calling Trump "cool arrow," pronounced "culero," which is Spanish for asshole. lolol!
