This is the third of TokyoSand’s excellent series that introduces us to the many candidates who will be running on the democratic ticket for the office of president next year. So far we have met Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar, and today we will meet Julian Castro.

The Democrats have a big field of candidates running for President in 2020. To briefly use a sports analogy, I see our candidates as the starting players on the Blue team, each bringing their own unique strengths to the table in a bid to take our country in a very different direction than the one we’re on today.
But as we well know from 2016, the media (and especially social media) gets fixated on non-substantial issues that take up all the oxygen. Plus, they don’t give the candidates the same treatment or the same amount of airtime.

He’s a good guy. At one time, I think Hillary Clinton was considering him for her running mate.

Unfortunate name though, who’s going to trust someone called Julian?

It’s Latino … actually it’s Julián, but most people leave out the acute over the ‘a’. He also has an identical twin brother, Joaquin, who is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
