The series of town halls that Fox News is conducting for Democrat presidential candidates who take advantage of its generous offer of air time have been fairly interesting. Faced with moderators who do nor hug them the way Rachel Maddow did in a 2016 presidential debate, the strong ones have an opportunity to demonstrate their skills while the weak ones fall back on canned answers of dubious relevance to the questions asked.
I was interested in seeing what Julian Castro had to offer yesterday at the town hall in Tempe, Arizona, where, we were told it was well over a hundred degrees outside.

When in San Antonio, on a walk, be careful you don’t step on a steaming pile of Julian Castro.

Yeah, crime happens and we have enough home grown criminals that we don't need to add illegal aliens to the mix.
You know, instead of fixing the criminal justice system, what we really need is a victim justice system.

99% of Hispanic talking heads are for open borders. Their comments should be ignored. IMO

His twin brother, a Congresscritter from San Antonio, ain't much better.
Did Yoolian have a bottle of booze next to him? He's pretty good at putting them down, especially if someone else is buying rounds.

Back in the 1960s and 1970s, there was a man who called himself Uncle Sam, and dressed like Uncle Sam, who ran for president regularly.
If he were running today, I suppose Fox would give him a town hall.
Gus Hall ran for president on the Communist Party ticket. MSNBC would surely give him a town hall.
I watched part of the Castro thing, and felt sorry for him. Implicit in his response on illegal immigrant crime was that the young woman who is raped and murdered by an illegal would have been raped and murdered by someone else.
A sad creature. Who looks like Kato from the Pink Panther movies.

I thought maybe FOX would hold this TownHall in the Food Court. So, there would at least be a crowd in the background.

Don't kid yourselves. The Dems have found their man. Yet again, a keynote speaker of the Dem National Convention. His mother was a founding member of La Raza Unida, supporter of courthouse shooting Communist Angela Davis, and on the FBI watch list. (La Raza wants to give back "their stolen heritage" to the Mexicans. This "homeland," which they are calling Aztlan, would amount to seven whole U.S. states, with parts of others. Some maps of the desired "homeland" include Oregon, Idaho, and Colorado. She was a founding member and party chairman for Bexar (San Antonio) County, Texas. She is quoted by the NYT as saying the men at the Alamo were "nothing but crooks, drunkards, and slaveholding imperialists." She never married Julian's father, since he was busy living with his wife and five children. Her own mother was not married. I could say something about glass houses, but I'll pass. Julian is right into the reprehensible PC "re-imagine" movement to essentially destroy the Alamo's status as a shrine to heroes. He has indicated support for allowing the United Nations to manage the Alamo.
With a female VP on the ticket (preferably black), he could skate through the primaries and, getting the white guilt vote, move along to the White House, probably easier than Obama did. His wife and children are photogenic. His mother will be quiet. He'll sell himself as a moderate who will "bring the country together." Or . . . he could run as the very elderly Biden's VP.

I think more than enough of us have seen the light on electing someone based on color or gender. oblammo took care of that, thank the Lord. If people were clamoring for those things, even in the demo-dumb party, crazies Joe and Bern (two old wrinkled, freckled, mentally decrepit crackers) wouldn't be leading the pack.

I have watched any of the FOX Town Halls for Democrats. I think it stupid for FOX to give them a Platform. I turn the TV off when they do this. Waste of time!

They are all throw away candidates, even Biden the Bookmark, so it really doesn't matter. To spend anytime keeping up on who is passing who is meaningless,so will their actual delivery be as they edge to their finals. Best to focus on how Trump is changng the world order.

There was a time when the news media prided itself on being a WATCH DOG to protect the people from the wiles and corrupt ways of government politicians who were out for themselves instead of representing the people.
There was a time when the news media EXPOSED corruption, instead of promoting the corrupt through constant propaganda.
There was a time when the American people were wise to these characters, and could spot a PHONY just by what they said and what they did, and would dismiss people like Castro out of hand.
The constant drone and drumbeat of the media pushing an agenda instead of FULLY REPORTING the facts to the public have so confused the average person that things which we KNOW are WRONG are presented and the way things are now, some sort of 'new normal' to be accepted without question.
There are too many candidates out there and the media presents them all, but make no mistake--they have an agenda and are FORCING the candidates to do things the way THEY want or lose precious free campaign coverage-- Joe Bite Me has just been formed and flaked before your eyes!!
It will be interesting to see how things turn out as they all try to move the others out of the media spotlight by proposing outrageous things .
Castro is about even with the one-time media sensation, Robert Francis O'Rourke... neither candidate is the second coming of our Lork, but the media will do what they can to make it seem that way!

Pandering for the illegal Mexican vote ain't a bad Idea at least Castro is authentic unlike Beto the table dancer O'Rourke.

Agree with #6- let's rerun some old clips from Pat Paulson's "campaigns".

Who in the wide, wide world of sports is Julian Castro? Oh, I know who he is, but what I don't know is why he would ever consider himself a presidential candidate. Is he running for dog catcher in San Antonio and trying to raise his profile there?
