Political analysts were abuzz when The Washington Post revealed that presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s shortlist for vice presidential candidates had been leaked.
At the top of the list: Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro.
Rounding out the 8 other prospective candidates:
Labor Secretary Tom Perez
Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia
Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio
Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti
Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio
Rep. Xavier Becerra of California
Most notably absent — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s main rival. Sanders supporters were hopeful that a vice presidential nod to their preferred candidate would be a way to restore party unity heading into the November general election.
According to The Washington Post, “Many Sanders supporters, disappointed by his failure to win the nomination, have held out hope that Mrs. Clinton would pick the Vermont senator in a show of unity and a signal that she will chart a progressive course if elected.”
And Sanders supporters aren’t expected to take it well. A coalition of progressive groups, some of which have backed Sanders, have taken special note of Julian Castro’s prospects: In April they launched a campaign in April that criticized his Housing and Urban Development office for selling mortgages to Wall Street in the aftermath of the foreclosure crisis.
Democrats in Congress and Latino groups rallied to his defense, with some accusing the groups of trying to mar Castro’s vice presidential prospects.
“I do believe that in some quarters there were politics involved,” Castro said. “I give credit to a couple of the groups for bringing that issue up that they have brought up before. But I think that there’s a way for folks to work together in a positive direction
But the 41-year-old rising star among Democrats wouldn’t say one way or the other whether he would accept if Clinton asked him to join the ticket as her vice presidential candidate.
“I’m not going to get into that. Number one, I’ve said for a long time, I don’t believe that’s going to happen,” Castro said. “This is a decision that she’s going to make and I’m going to be happy to support whatever the ticket is.”

We know it won’t be Warren as Hillary would have to share the spotlight with another woman.
Julian Castro is a rerun of Henry Cisneros: Hispanic, former Mayor of San Antonio and one who thinks everybody deserves a home they can’t afford. Haven’t we seen this before. Oh yeah, Henry C. was cheating on his wife as one would expect working for Bubba. Castro might escape this fate, he’s too short.
You are sooooo right!!!
As Mayor of San Antonio he was more concerned with what could the city do for the Latino population. He actually hung with the old cronies politicians. He wasn’t a good Mayor failed as a HUD director and he will be a Suck ass VP with a lot of Latino influence of both legal and illegals.
ALL I see is another LIST of IDIOTS from the Anti America party of HYPOCRITES … NONE of them is Worth a FART!… But they ‘d make the LYING Barking BITCH look GOOD…. ODUMBO TERM 3 COMING up!!!!
I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas and Mayor Castro only did what benefitted the Latino community, even renaming a historical major street from Durango to Cesar Chavez even though Cesar Chavez had nothing to do with our city. and let it be noted that his mother is an activist who was involved in starting a La Raza group many years ago.
You mean “with A woman”
I can`t believe it would be Sanders because he does not like what she stands for. So if he caves in there must be MONEY involved. And I am sure his followers will not follow him to HELL.
THAT RIGHT WE WILL NOT AND HILLERY WILL NOT GET ANY OF US TO VOTE FOR HER>
THAT WOULD BE BLACK MAIL ,
HANG IN THERE BERNIE.
THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER
ITS JUST GETTING STARTED
Now we are going all the way to the WHITE HOUSE.
YOU WILL BE PRESIDENT AS SOON HAS THEY PUT THE HAND CUFF ON HER,
Certainly hope so…1 lying Bimbo is enough.
What difference does it make? Neither party has anything to boast about. Democrats have a GUILTY as hell candidate ! The Republicans have a candidate that has NO CLUE as what he’s going to do to make America strong again, but can run his MOUTH about nothing. Good election to NOT VOTE and take my chances and live whoever is elected. Either way, it’s NOT going to be good !
One thing to remember!! Most successful people are smart enough to surround themselves with smart, knowledgeable people!! They aren’t stupid like obummer. A dumb person who erroneously think they are smart are the worst dumb people in the world!! Look at the failure obummer is and compare him to the man who hires the right people for the job; that is Trump!! He will help us make America great again!
I agree with you!
In some of this, I agree. But we elected…twice..someone who didn’t know what he was doing most of the time, and failed miserably, to our cost. He faced the nation with his BS about transparency, openess, change. Thing is, we didn’t know what he meant by change…decreased and dismantled our military, got cosy with AL Queda and then ISIS, as the Muslim he is, has all but destroyed Christians, removed the word God from everything,….yeah, he’s been terrific….NOT! I appreciate Trump not giving us empty promises as most politicians do…refreshing.
WHO CARES?????????
She loves women!!! They can talk as they make love!!!
I thought for sure it would be Satan even though he wants Hillary as his running mate but Hillary well…Hillary I guess told him that if he didn’t want to go along with her then he could just go to hell….
That lying witch never ceases to amaze me~
After they a rest her ,
Bernie will be president.
What would make the people of this country think any differently .
There trying to just ride over all the dirty things she has done now and be fore she entered the race.
LETS GET REAL,
Wake UP
How about Liz Warren? An Oklahoma WASP who told we Bay Staters that she was Cherokee. A multi-millionaire who told us she was working class. The Boston Herald last month highlighted as to how she purchased foreclosed homes in Oklahoma City and made large profit. The faker ticket would sell with the baby mamma/daddy culture and faux elitist crowd.
She is Apache, Mexican indian….
Sounds like the two would have a lot in common. Can’t tell the truth if life depended on it.
Both are pushing NWO, including population reduction with poisoned food and water and mandatory vaccines that contain a sterilization additive. Trump does not support poisoned food and water, and forced sterilization.
How gtrue
Thus, Donald Trump’s moniker, “Pocahantis”. Indian activist deny any ‘provable’ Indian blood in her ancestory. (Other than her casual quips that ‘once my great grandmother had a little indian in (side) her, but offers NO proof)
Her minority status claims were primarily to obtain lucrative positions as a member in one of the ‘minority’ communities.
She is a democrat. All democrats seal records, It is part of their muslim heritage of using fake, oops face masks like burkas so no one knows what what they are, what they have done, or what they intend to do. We only know what they say they are going to do and use N type words to profile their opponents.
It does not mater they are all loosers
Robert92 how do you manage to call losers from winners . Are you some kind of authority ?
Good question, Juan. Also you know the difference between losers and loosers, which Robert92 apparently does not.
It’s easy!! Right now there aren’t many sens! They call themselves progressives!! Wrong, they are stupid because it has been in existence for a long time! It never works, proof of that is obummer, and socialism never works! If you believe it will, go to Russia for a few months!!
It does mater if they are looser than a gooser!
Each one of them had better be yes men and lady. Also wear a hard helmet for when she loses it and throws something at you. Just ask her husband or better still anyone who still is on the WH household staff. They would really fill you in. But then, she’s never going to make it to the WH, she has a stop at Prison waiting for her first. Just let the FBI get a hold of her. She’ll look so good in an orange suit.
Since the FBI reports to the Attorney General who reports to the President who has endorsed the slimy Clinton for President; I don’t think they dare indict her…..they have their not so subtle message from their boss. But again you may still find some FBI left in the ranks who put principal ahead of political expediency and who are close to retirement age who will risk their futures by going after Hilary for all those years of bold lies and corruption. But don’t count on it…..the FBI agents willl retire, write their books and then we find out the truth about her but by then it will be to late……
I agree. The FBI is all for Obama. They are afraid of him. Let’s pray there is a great Agent that is not afraid to blow the whistle on all those EVIL doers!!
The FBI and just about everyone else would do well to be afraid, or at least very concerned about Obama. That guy is really bad news. He is a Muslim, quite possibly in cahoots with ISIS or some other terrorist organization. And I’d be willing to bet “Princess” Hillary will not be called to answer for any of her crooked, un-American, treasonist acts. The fix is on no matter what politician you look at. And personally, I’m surprised that traitorous SOB Paul Ryan isn’t at the top of Hillary’s list for VP. He ‘d fit right in with her scheme of things.
We have to also all remember that in the Islam way of thinking, the end justifies the means. Obama, then possibly Hillary is and will continue to destroy our country. They SIMPLY MUST GO!
Again with the “He is a Muslim” baloney? Where do you get your facts, RC? Or do you just rant until you run out of thoughts?
Also, “in the Islam way of thinking, the end justifies the means” is no different than we Christians saying that the gift of eternal life makes it worth loving one another and not being hateful while we are still ‘down here’ on earth.
Probably so, the fix is in. They have been stalling and talking the talk while they worked out “the fix”. Now they are starting to walk the walk. This campaign, a fight for the soul of America is far from over. This is a campaign, fight actually, over what kind of govt will we have? Will it continue as Constitutional govt, law, or will it be sharia type govt, law. This is now the question, One way to fight this coup brewing in the dim party is to attack the issues. to separate the dims from their voting blocs. For example both slavery and segregation were outcomes of the democratic party in the south and can hardly be called “progressive” . Except for the DICs. Dems in charge. Segregation, Jim Crow laws, was put in place by dim politicians. What it did was entitle whites to eat at lunch counters, not pay poll tax, etc. And since it was the law all whites had to obey the law or be penalized? Not all whites in the south were segregationists, like all blacks are not criminals and all muslims are terrorists. But all segregationists were democrats, all terrorists are muslim.
And the dems still use Jim Crow, entitlement type laws/policies today. Just not racial. There are so many muslims in high level govt positions in this admin one has to assume non-muslims are discriminated against and denied work opportunity. Same for men using women’s toilets. Under O men are entitled to use women’s toilets, gays are “entitled” to get married just because they are gay? Plus no restriction on who or how many they have the right to marry? 3 year old girls like in islam? And be like the king of SA who has 40 children? This can go on and on.
Hey, OG-
Watch this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCAffMSWSzY
Out of his own mouth, he admits it – then cites “the holy qu’ran” multiple times(while never citing the bible), ad nauseum. It’s less than ten minutes, so take some time git hip before you trip – again.
Then stfu about D’OweBama NOT being a muslim – not to mention a traitor, committing treason on a near-daily basis by giving aid, comfort, arms, materiel, training, money, vehicles, even jets and tanks to sworn enemies of the United States. Ever read the Constitution? There’s only ONE crime defined in it – and that’s treason. Read that def. and tell me it don’t apply to the Current Occupant.
Never happen the Director if the FBI is deathly afraid of the Clintons.
I hope she selects the make believe Indian so we can prove them to be the fakes they both are.
John G-
Yeah, The Liar paired with Lia-a-watha. Perfect loser storm. Trump in a landslide.
It doesn’t matter who imelda Marcos Clinton selects for her partner in crime. If she becomes President, America will become a Marxist State. The blood of citizens will be flooding in the streets. Simply a fact of life.
Hank, you mean Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton who we know is at the very least a trillion times worse than Imelda Marcos. Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton is a professional hypocrite who does far worse than all other former leaders,
Current leaders of other countries ever did and points her finger right at them for the bad they did & do, but does the exact same thing herself. If there were a B@&CH of the universe contest being held, that would be the only contest that Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton wouldn’t have to fix & rig in her favor, it would be the one contest her opponents would actually vote for her in hands down.
May God save the USA from all EVIL
Read the Old Testament and you pretty much have a clue regarding what God finally does when His people continue to do evil and do not turn to Him………..
Amen
So you may not like Trump. Well………. Think about this………. “IF you FAIL TO VOTE for the lesser evil you *ARE* voting for the Greater Evil!” Don’t be foolish. NEVER HILLARY!!!
It is far more than that. The next President will be sitting new Supreme Court justices. Hillary will choose all far left and our Constitution and rights will be decimated by the ones she chooses.
Like Christopher S O’Rourke?
Castro, Castro…where have i heard that name before? Oh, yeah, dictator of Cuba, who D’OweBama was visiting and going to baseball games with while terrorists were murdering over a hundred people in “gun-free” France…then, off to another commie country to learn how to salsa!
i hope she DOES pick him! Nothing like a loser for a loser.
Castro also has a twin, so you’ll never know which guy you’re talking to, or who is making political decisions.
It looks like someone from each state that she needs to WIN?
Hopefully that rules out Whoolian (Julian Castro) since she won’t be winning Texas and therefore does not need him. I look for the guy from Ohio, since no Republican has won the presidency without winning Ohio, at least in modern times.
I’m surprised that damned POS white trash B@&CH Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton didn’t possibly consider former Mexizona Governor, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Do Nothing Dingbat Nepolitano as her partner in crime, then again Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton & a Dingbat who is from the Demoncratic branch of the Dingbat Party would guaranty Hitlery the Dingbats votes.
It does matter whom she picks!!’
Donald J. Trump will be the next
President of the US !!
So there !!!!!!!
I think Obama can be the best VP. They are the perfect couple . 2 COWARDS
Level of discussion on this topic is impressive! 😉
I am glad someone pointed out the obvious… Obama wasn’t qualified for the two terms of POTUS that he held and in addition to not being qualified, he is now restricted, by The Constitution, to ever serve as POTUS or Vice POTUS, ever again! YIPEE!
I HAVE TO SAY I FIND IT AMAZING THAT HILLARY IS NOT IN PRISON, IF ANY AMERICAN HAD DONE WHAT SHE DID: BENGHAZI, THE INTERNET EMAIL SCANDALS WE WOULD BE IN PRISON. OBAMA IS SO AFRAID TO CHARGE HER WITH THE CRIMES THAT SHE HAS DONE THAT HE IS AFRAID THAT TRUMP WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT SO OBAMA THINKS WE NEED HILLARY AS A ROAD BLOCK FOR DONALD TRUMP. MR. TRUMP WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT BECAUSE WE NEED OUR COUNTRY BACK. AND E WILL DO IT. IF ANY OTHER AMERICAN CITIZEN DID WHAT HILLARY HAS DONE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI, CIA, AND ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION WITHIN THIS COUNTRY BUT SOME HOW SHE GETS A PASS.
I JUST WATCHED 13 HOURS BENGHAZI AND IT IS ASHAME THAT WE PAID CLINTON TO BE OUR SECRETARY AND SHE COULD NOT PREFORM HER JOB. YET OBAMA NEVER FIRED HER! SO OBAMA COMING IN OFFICE IN 2008 INVENTED LIES WHICH HE MUST BE PROUD OF.
CLINTON NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED PUT IN CHAINS AND NEVER LET HER OUT OF PRISON, ALL THESE POLITICIANS THAT HAVE DECEIVED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WERE PAID FOR IT SHOULD BE FINED WITH INTERESTED AND REMOVED FROM THEIR POSITION.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – I JUST SEEN ON THE DHS WEBSITE THAT REFUGEE’S GET MONEY TO COME INTO OUT COUNTRY AND YET THE AMERICAN’S THAT ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP AFLOAT CANNOT GET ANYTHING UNLESS THE WOMAN IS PREGNANT………WOW WHAT A CONCEPT A BABY FOR 20 YEARS TO GET YOU OVER A HUMP IN LIFE OF MAYBE GETTING 500 CASH TO HELP YOU OUT.
I think you’re deluded. If Hillary had done anything for which she could have been indicted, don’t you think the GOP jackals on the Hill would have made certain that she was? They haven’t accomplished much in the last two years but I’ll bet they would have nailed her if they could. The natural conclusion to be drawn – they couldn’t.
OracleGuy, just how uninformed, brainwashed, indoctrinated or just plain blind stupid can you be? For God’s sake pay attention to the things “Princess” Hillary has done. Even since she was first woman (Not lady) of Arkansas. Then her actions as the President’s first woman. Then look at her actions as a Senator. She did absolutely nothing while collecting a terribly outrageous salary and benefits. Then look at what she did during the Benghazi Consulate attack. The State Department is in charge of our embassies. She was Secretary of State. So who gave the order to stand down instead of trying to help? Who gave the order to virtually within minutes, or perhaps even seconds, to relieve two U.S. Army generals and one Fifth Fleet admiral when they stated that they had assets ready willing and able to help. I don’t know about you, but having served in the military during time of war when someone was in trouble we at least tried to help. So the bottom line is, I sincerely hope you’re proud and happy with what you’ve done to help destroy our country, our Constitution, our various religions, our economy, our national defense, our national security and our way of life by obviously voting for Obama and now Hillary.
Colin Powell did internet private email! Told of WMD for the war and they lost 88 lives at embassies, not just 4! And they had full funding to protect with a Republican Pres. Cut funding for Obama just so they could get an incident probably, and pound the hell out of those 4 lives to keep news off of their record of 88 dying!
Go write comments on your own damn site. The democrats don’t care what you think. You want to elect an idiot, go ahead, vote for the nut.
Do they say “F**k Hillary” at the end of the “13 hours” movie where you live? Just wondering…
Elizabeth Warren will be an easy target if she is chosen as Hillary’s VP. Like Hillary she has a problem with honesty and integrity.
Donald Trump could easily win this election if he would start thinking before he starts talking.
COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE ON THIS. BUT I STILL LOVE HIM. KNOW HIM PERSON TO PERSON FROM BUILDINGS IN NYC.
Hillary is picking all terrorist as her VP
Interesting note is that all the candidates shore up constituencies that Democrats normally expect to carry, with the exception of the two Ohio prospects. If Hillary picks an Hispanic or a woman, it will be an indication that her campaign is in big trouble with Democrat base voters. If she picks one of the Ohio candidates, it indicates that she feels she needs special help to keep Ohio out of Trump’s hands. Hint: Picking a Texan this time around isn’t worth it. Democrats need additional bodies in Texas to carry the state, especially with Republicans still controlling much of the election machinery, which limits the ability of generating votes beyond the number of people in a precinct.
A List of CORRUPT CRIMINAL D****RATS…just like H-BOMB Clinton…..
It won’t matter what the ‘qualifications’ her selection might posess, but only the ‘race’ of the individual, who can draw the most votes in Hitlery’s general election, be that Black or Mexican, and with all of the illegal alliens in this country, my money is on a Mexican running mate.
To me It’s a shame that the blacks and Mexicans cannot see what she is going to do to this country,. She will be the 3rd term of OBummer and God help us if that happens. I cannot figure out if these people voting for her are stupid or just don’t care what happens to this country any more. Then again there is the gimmie gimmie portion that want it all handed to them, and they fall into these two catagories. Even if there were jobs they would not go get one, cause it’s so much easier to take from the taxpayers. So sad. I am voting Trump. At least we have a chance with him.
Every Latino Politician when it comes time to vote on a issue that concerns Latino’s or illegal immigrations, they always vote in favor of Latino’s and illegal immigrants whether it is good for the country or not.
Seems that way doesn’t it. What appears to be true may just be true.
At this point..it really does not matter WHO Hellory “Picks” to be HER side=kick. She is NOT Going to BE President of This USA..No matter Who She Picks, or What she Says. Too much ”water has gone under That Bridge’ that will not be Forgotten…Nothing Can make WATER Turn And Run Upstream. Besides All This, She IS Not exactly the Specimen of Health, nor is she Capable of “”The myriad of Duties Of the Presidency she Will Necessarily be Facing. ONLY Donald Trump has What it takes TO Do The Tasks ahead …That HAS to be Attended to, First Hand. A Complete House Cleaning Is in order…And There is also The Duty Coming UP Of ‘WHO to appoint ( Maybe even TWO new Justices ) to OUR Supreme Court !… She Is totally Unfit to Decide .
This OracleGuy obviously is too damn uninformed, brainwashed, indoctrinated or just downright stupid to pay attention to Obama’s speeches or see what he wrote in his books. Obama admitted both in his books and in more than one public speech that he WOULD STAND WITH ISLAM WHEN THINGS GOT STICKY. THAT MEANS HE IS A MUSLIM! So OracleGuy, wake up and pay attention to what’s going on around you. Obama is a traitor. He’s also, in the opinion of many, a treasonist. You and others obviously want to literally give our country to those who want to not only destroy it but want to destroy those of us who believe in our country, our Constitution, our various religions and our way of life.
The water that is running under the bridge that Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton is standing on eventually will continue to rise and
wash out the bridge, taking Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton downstream to prison, where she belongs. Send the Clinton’s to Devils Island would as I have said so many times before is the perfect place for them.
The killer of Benghazi Hillary (rotten) Clinton with some luck will be and should be indited by then and will not be able to run for president. Remember she murder 4 Americans in Benghazi when she was the Sec. of State. she has to pay for these killings as the bitch is not above the law.
One LAST comment on my part. It’s obviously OK for Socialists to attack we conservatives but when we respond what we have to write is deleted. This probably will be, too. If it is, I’ll know where we stand.
You are a conservaive what? Yea, that is what I thought.
She will not pick a woman – 2 on one ticket would be too much and Warren is louder and ruder than Hillary is. I think she will pick Cory Booker.
ALG
You now what Bill said after sex, when he call’s her? I will be home in 20 min.
satan’s sidekick should select someone with ties closer to Heaven …… DOH!!! that’s right i forget we’re talking about marxist democrats.
It will be either a negro, a Mexican or a woman and maybe even a Moslem.
Her best bet would be Senator Brown of Ohio. He is intelligent, Stays in his lane and can pull Ohio, Ind & Penn her way.
Julian Castro catering to the illegals, it’s a desperadoes list.
Neither one of the proposed raises the standards of Slimmery Hill.
More of the same!
I’m astonished that Hillary isn’t going to make either Bill or Chelsea the VP so that she knows if she is indicted that way for sure she would be pardoned!
Here is the ONE reason that every one overlooked in the matter of H/C or ANY woman taking the Office of pres.V.P or congress or senate of the Supreme court! In Exodus 18:21 In the forming of a Republican” form of Govt, which came from GOD and was given to the Jews, the KJV Bible says “ONLY” “ABLE MEN” need be in Office! Lest you should say: that’s Old testament, here are a few from the New Testament that tell what a woman is to do in that matter. 1 Timothy 5:13 gives the woman her duties, according to GOD’s word…SHE is NOT to take authority over the man either! 1 Tim 2:12 KJV says this! She is to be the “Help Meet” fit for the man! The woman was made for the Man and not the other way around! (1 Corinthians 7 and 14 KJV) I am NOT Interested in what men think: I want to know what God thinks, why? Because He never lied and he is always right, in this and any matter! Women are NOT fit to lead, they weren’t made that way! Don’t get mad at me, GET mad at the ONE who wrote that KJV Bible!
HILLARY IS NOT FIT TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SHE COULD NOT PERFORM HER JOB AS SECRETARY OF STATE SHE HAS BLOOD ON HER HANDS SHE BELONGS IN PRISON LIES AND CORRUPTION THAT IS WHAT SHE IS ALL ABOUT. THE STUPID AMERICANS THAT ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR HER. I DID NOT REALIZE HOW MANY STUPID PEOPLE ARE AMERICANS UNTIL NOW .
Probably whomever gave the most money to her “foundation” is the one she’ll reward.
