Latino turnout

[question everything]

BOTH PARTIES converge on Texas to harness Latino turnout. Sen. Ted Cruz tells reporters he is worried Republicans could lose Texas in 2020, predicting a “record-shattering Democratic turnout.” Trump’s campaign launched its “Vamos to Victory” Latino outreach plan in Houston on Thursday ahead of the Democratic debate.

Still, Rep. Joaquin Castro tells The Wall Street Journal that much of the Democratic turnout work will fall to nonparty organizers, given limited party and campaign resources. But a Latino candidate on the presidential ticket would “inspire Latinos to come out and vote in a way we haven’t seen in American politics,” like what Barack Obama ’s candidacy did for African-American turnout, he says. Whom might he have in mind? Maybe his twin brother, presidential candidate Julián Castro.

1. They won't win over Latinos

The pukes burned that bridge with their anti immigrant and border wall bullshit. Reason I'd want Beto on VP. He'd be able to push Texas over to blue.

2. Beto would work on the VP slot but not with Biden. Two white men won't work with the make-up...

of the party. What about Castro?

[vercetti2021]

3. Possibly

Something along those lines if Biden and Castro sweep it under the rug from last night

4. I'm thinking that by the VP selection the sting from the debate challenge will have faded.

Same with Harris.

5. Castro is not popular among Texans or even just latinos in Texas . Beto is far more popular among

both .

8. +1. Latinos in Texas love and trust Beto.

It was evident in his travels throughout the state in the Senate campaign

9. Agree, Beto would be the better choice

Texan Latinos aren't impressed by the fact Castro cannot speak Spanish. Beto is fluent.

10. Castro is not popular with me nt.

6. California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra.

Becerra was considered a fine prospective VP candidate by Hillary's 2016 campaign when he served in congress.

7. Vamos to Victory?

Thought the GOP campaign strategy was "vamos back to wherever you came from".
