Is Julian Castro ready to be president on day one?**

[bobloblaw]

Julian and Juaquine Castro are absolute jokes. Worse than Palin or Quayle.

Palin was Gov of AK. A small state. Only Lisa Murkowski is known. Castro is from TX., a big state. But, he may or may not be ready. It al depends on how badly she needs Latinos.

He is FROM a big state but didnt represent or govern the state.....duh

Joaquin will be there as chair of DNC to usher in Speaker designate Becerra in 2022. The Castros will be there for long haul.

No way the GOP loses the House with Clinton in office. The only question will be does the GOP by 2022 have 300 members?

Totally unprepared and unqualified for prime time.

Would be an absolutely horrible choice.

Doesn't even speak Spanish.

Would be like today's equivalent of Agnew, Quayle, Palin.

Quayle and Agnew were qualified.

Not so much.  Not like Cheney, Lieberman, Biden.

Agnew, Quayle, Palin were political lightweights, whereas Cheney, Lieberman, Biden had plenty of gravitas.

I agree that Agnew and Quayle arent the level of Lieberman, Biden or Cheney. But they also arent Palin or Castro.

Castro as VP is intellectually insulting.

I agree with this.
Agnew was kind of an Obama/Cruz figure, an exciting first-term governor who inspired the base.  Even Palin had soaring popularity ratings and was widely thought to be an excellent politician, although Alaska is pretty easy to govern (clearly) and her biggest claimed success, stopping the bridge to nowhere, was a lie.  Pre-vet, she looked like a great choice.
We can see without vetting him that Castro is not qualified to be president of the United States.  Having him stand next to Clinton will only further accentuate that, i.e. she's the secretary of state, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's never even left the country.

Palin's biggest accomplishment was taking on the oil interests to make sure AK got more royalties.
