In 2016 I wrote that @JuliánCastro was @HillaryClinton's best choice for VP. I still think that. It would have been a game changer. But she was advised strongly otherwise. Yet Castro campaigned fiercely for her because he is fierce.
@HillaryClinton I hate that Castro is out of this race. Nearly 1 in 5 Americans is Latinx & the only Latinx candidate is now out of the primary before a single vote has been cast. Following the only black woman. Maybe folks should have stepped back from Biden to consider actual policy & vision.
@HillaryClinton .@JuliánCastro had one of the best #disability policies and best immigration policies. He has been a committed public servant for years. He was mayor of a major US city & in Obama's Cabinet. But like Booker and Harris, he dared to call out Biden. And got huge blowback, too.
@HillaryClinton Castro should still be in this race. Harris should still be in this race. Castro should have been in the last debate. And it is concerning that the DNC has not taken actual merit into consideration for the debates. How do candidates of color gain visibility if not via the DNC?
@HillaryClinton The one thing the DNC has actual power over is about. Tom Perez--first Latinx DNC chair!--could have held a two tiered debate system so only 10 people were on stage but everyone got to debate. Now two stellar candidates are out and I am frankly furious.
