Hillary Clinton is burning through her money, trailing Bernie Sanders, and falling flat with key constituencies. Besides that, she’s under investigation by the FBI and the House Benghazi Select Committee. This has got to be the bottom of the barrel, right?
Nope. in another sign that the once presumptive favorite’s campaign is in trouble, it looks like a favorite son is starting to consider other options:
Despite speculation that Julian Castro may become Hillary Clinton’s running mate, should she win the 2016 Democratic presidential election, the former San Antonio mayor says he has not ruled out running for Texas governor in 2018.
Last week, Castro, the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, endorsed Clinton at her rally to kick off her “Latinos for Hillary” campaign in San Antonio. Before the Democratic front-runner took the stage, Castro introduced her as the country’s next “Democratic nominee and the next president of the United States.” Castro also declared that Clinton “has a strong vision for America’s future” and is the candidate best prepared to fix the broken immigration system before a heavily-Latino audience.
When asked if she would consider Castro as a running mate in the 2016 race, the former secretary of state told the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce that said she would “look really hard at him for anything, because that’s how good he is.”
Castro’s ability to win in deep red Texas and his youthful exuberance make him the perfect partner for Hillary, especially in the event that she faces off against a young candidate like Marco Rubio. It’s why many political prognosticators see him as a new brainer VP pick for Hillary. That he’s starting to consider other options is pehraps a sign that he sees the writing on the wall. With the likely entry of Joe Biden into the race at some point this week, the Hillary campaign that came in with a bang of inevitability might end with a whimper.
