pauljweber Julian Castro was HUD Secretary at the time. There was definitely some under the table deal made. No transparency!
pauljweber I won’t be voting for him! As HUD Secretary, he was in the middle of Dallas’ affordable housing crisis. Where did the $4.2 million go Still no affordable housing. And still no accountability!!! NoCastro
So we had a president named Barack Hussein Obama and a person running with the last name Castro
Show me the money!!!! That is how the decision will be made
twinswap in the River Walk 😳
Nobody named Castro should ever be POTUS, change your name or don’t run
Lol who?
Lol is this guy fake smiling?
I approve, love this guy & his twin brother too!
lol
No thank u. Who are u really?
Let's help him decide! Don't do it, Julian
let me guess: he's planning a guerilla campaign with popular support from communist sympathizers
Hopefully he's a Democrat because he has zero chance of winning! POTUS realDonaldTrump FLOTUS IvankaTrump EricTrump DonaldJTrumpJr WhiteHouse VP Cabinet senatemajldr GOP FloridaGOP SenateGOP HouseGOP MiamiGOP seanhannity JudgeJeanine GreggJarrett MariaBartiromo
Hey! It's Obama's favorite Designated Survivor! 😂
Ima say no
Who?
God knows nobody can resist voting for a former housing secretary.
👀
Morning_Joe Do it!
Who?
This ain't it Chief
A waste of his time and everyone else’s money. Not that I’m a fan of the current administration but this isn’t hopeful at all. He’s virtually unknown. I only know who he us because YOU defined who he is.
This is hopelessly shallow of me, but I am bemused at the idea of President Castro.
He really screwed up by not running for Governor of Texas in 2018...he probably could’ve won and helped move Beto across the finish line...
He might be to young
manojmate Great News!! Now is the right time.
Right...right.. Ya, he's got a shot. 🙄
Democrats would love a Castro in charge
StillSanders
Maybe every Democrat will run for president
Give it up!
Who?
Goofy smile
He wouldn't get out the gate, but he has heart.
He's wasting his time
I like him but will listen to what he has to say.
I dunno. I like him.
No way Jose
That would be a mistake.
I'll vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein over him if he wins the primary, but good that more ppl are in the mix for the debates.
Yeah Florida might have a problem with his last name🖕
xicanohistorian Castro/O’Rourke
No chance of winning
here for it
Forget it
rolandsmartin Nah.
NYCNavid Why not, I guess. What's one more?
NYCNavid Julian don't even think about it.
Who? This guy Has zero chance of wining. 4MoreYears
Anyone, associated with Presiden Obama is O K with me. Has to be better than this freaking awesomely dreadful Trillion dollars and growing national debt and$1,000,000,000 per mo.record breaking trade deficit.
He rushed into it so that BETO wouldn’t steal his thunder!!! Lol
He is not going to win.....not even the primary....take that to the bank....lol
Open borders...
I like Julian Castro but it will be a hard sell across the U.S.
That will be hilarious
LMAO! Can you make it even more easier for Trump in 2020?!
rolandsmartin He needs to study the research before he runs, because unless he just wants to run, just to run, he's wasting his time
rolandsmartin Nah we good
🤣🤣🤣
What are his policies?
Hahahahaha. He won’t even win his home state.
He gonna lose.
😂😁How many Dems are running now?... Is it 25?.....50? 100?
He has accomplished Zero... just wants to milk more Taxpayers
Yeah that’ll work, Trump vs Castro...CASTRO.
Beto Castro 2020... free stuff for everyone, except the *rich. * Sadly, “rich” as defined by the democrats is anyone that still pays taxes.
TezlynFigaro Sounds like he’s your horse in the ‘20 race. I’m sure we’ll be treated to gushing stories courtesy of the AP.
Good luck dude!!! We need young Democrats who will stand up to Trump.
Waste of everyone’s time
Time to start looking at candidates. I have to admit the field is wide open for me. Well, almost.
LMAO
Bad idea
Run Julian Run
Maybe he should look at the reactions to this news. It might be cheaper than having an “exploratory committee”.
MekahloNBCLA Need him to be Vp on presidential ticket
BernieSanders over everyone lol
Spare us Texans!!! You will NOT WIN!
i dig this!!!
Bernie didn't make it past the primaries but Julian will! - said no one ever
We poor people don't want amoral neoliberal policies so take a seat Julian.
Interesting
Great guy. Seems to have genuine heart for service. Likely positioning himself for a cabinet role in Democratic administration.
Say no to anyone with the name of Castro as President of the United States!
NewsBreak: Long time Democrat the Easter Bunny announces 2020 Presidential run.
Someone better watch this guy closely, he has a body double.
Obama asswipe
The fake Mexican will not be pleased.
It is impossible he become president of United States, because with that Mexican look if he was born in America and he had 10 U.S. citizenship people know him as a foreign and give him the dirty look.
Does that mean that he’s one of the 68,000 sealed indictments also?
Oh yay, another communist
TheDemocrats TheDemocrats democracynow MoveOn letsmove Let’s get us a proven leader to defeat realDonaldTrump in 2020 JulianCastro he’s the voice Democrats need and he represents the best values our great country offers!
So between him and beto you've got 2 guys with very little political chops who cant even win their own state....seems like a solid game plan
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lol....who?
Nope..not voting for him PERIOD
So what kind of job did he do as Housing SECy or doesn’t that matter?
I hope he has his original birth certificate. Birther2.0
JulianCastro was scaredto run against Greg Abbott in TX, not Presidential material, give me BetoORourke 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hasnt got a chance
We want Beto
FORGET IT..... PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL WIN 2020.... SMILE ALL YOU WANT...
poncho_nevarez As a brown, Texas Independent....no thanks.
No empiecen a gastar candidaturas a lo menso por favor!
Who?
Cool but I'd prefer it if a certain other Texas Democrat ran
FYI - it’s not April Fools Day.
Good luck dude looks like you’re going to fail big time just like Non-Mexican Beto O’Rourke!!
It's fine. More unknowns against one largely known make for a less eventful primary.
What a joke. Julian Castro running for President. Light weight. Trump would eat him up and spit him out. Let’s see. Nick Name Fidel or Raul. Aren’t all Castro’s related and Communists. MJ
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Desperate people
I’m sure once we get to know the candidates, we will get excited, but it’s hard to look at the Dems and not think, “Come on. You really don’t have someone?” 😬
Democrats, Democrats, Democrats!!!
Zzzzzz
Last time America was involved with a dude named Castro, we fought a war
I could have saved him a ton of money
Good luck dummy
Please......
Was this the guy in the car with BetoORourke sometimes?
Sit down Julian . Not your time
Why does he always looks like he hasn’t slept well
So anybody can just run for President because I have absolutely no idea who in the entire F this guy is 😂😂😂
Hell nah he sucked as mayor of San antonio 😂
His creepy smile is enough to turn most away
F this guy
There’s literally a whole show about how unqualified HUD secretary’s are.
Who ?
Just because Keefer Southerland did that in a television show, doesn't mean you can. Stop it now.
Is today April 1st?
It looks like he wants to make a weird noise
I wouldn't vote for Julian Castro for mayor. WTF? Why does he think he is the best person to be President of anything?
:( thats gonna be a no from me dog...
Who?
No Julian, Beto is the one. You could be the Vice President if you're interested.😂😂😂
Yeah! Run that motherf***er in 2020! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He’s very soft spoken. I heard him in the convention a few years back and he doesn’t really rouse people. And if he’s banking on the latino support he and his brother don’t speak good Spanish at all. You might as well be another white guy running for the presidency.
EveGI88
If he was a Republican they would never make this news.
I can already hear the attempts to discredit him with the theory that he’s related to Fidel Castro
If u announcing the decision in Jan, why talk now?
JulianWho
I understand the complexity of politics, and I don’t mean to sound smug, but I don’t understand why people have faith in a system where the politicians are bought and paid for. Our Leaders are put in place by corporations.
No ty
Yup when cry he will scream racism
😂😂😂😂
That’s hilarious good luck spic
With a last name like that mmmmm I don’t know some will think he Related to that other Castro.
YellowVests2020
The more liberals run, the better for President Trump
Omg get in line with the other 🤡
Please, use your money and time watching Netflix!
Move along. No corporate Democrats.
Heh. I would NEVER vote for this guy. 🤣
Never heard if her
I thought exploratory committees were kept quiet as best as posssible. Why would you announce an exploratory committee before your final decision? Suppose the findings aren’t what you want? If they aren’t good, are you ok announcing, “so actually, nvm about the president thing”?
Democrats might as well sit it out . You are not going to beat the Trumpster.
Again, 30-40 candidates looking to be in this primary: good luck to the Dem who survives the 2020 primary at this rate, going to be beaten to a pulp, and that'll make you very susceptible to whoever the Rep is, if Trump lasts and goes unchallenged.
Has no chance bring it 🚂🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃
I’m a bleeding heart liberal but I don’t like the Castro brothers
No thanks. We're going with Beto
His face tells me he is bad news.
This is hilarious. That retard drove the city of San Antonio into the ground and now he wants to do the same thing to the country? Hell nawww!!! He’ll be the first gay Hispanic ever to lose a presidential bid. Should be the BATTLE OF THE BETAS!!! 👊🏿JULIAN VS BETO👊🏿
No thanks.
The guy is going on Colbert with his twin tomorrow, he’s made his decision already
Who?
You are going to fail Ms Castro in your aspirations
Lol what’s that 3 dozen now? We’re gonna watch these Morons go at each other!
No thanks
Nobody with the name Castro would ever be elected President of the U.S.....said every Kennedy EVER!
Who?
Took a page out of the Designated survivor playbook
Who this?
I'm from Texas and never heard of this guy.
Now let me see my crystalball predicted that Donald Trump was going win but this Juliancastro I dnt see it.
Illegal immigrants and other sources of fraudulent voting tactics anything is possible!
So another goofball Democrat running for president!
The Obama administration did enough damage to this nation for generation. No thanks.
Hold on a hot second... it is not outside the chance we end up with Nancy Pelosi as president IF tRump and Pence get kicked to the curb. Hatch retiring, who would replace him would be VP. We still have a lot of time.
Here comes more sympathy for illegals more gang activity and more drugs crossin the border.
“Mr. Castro what are your views on democracy?”
This guy has no chance. He’s a lightweight. Incredible story and a gear guy but he has no chance. Not ready for the big leagues... Too soft.
If this dude had any association with Janet the Tank Napolitano, then he'll be sunning himself in GITMO, which is hilarious considering his last name.
Please don’t. Although I would like to hear about your platform first.
People here in San Antonio really liked him! He did a lot of good here!
If you think about it, Trump really has been beating up the illegals. Once they become legal or their kids do it stands to reason there’s a whole nation that just might see Trump out of office and Castro in office for that reason alone.
No thanks. Hard to believe he’s the guy whose gonna beat trump. Or that he’s the best Dems have to offer.
I’m not great looking and I know there is not much he can do about it but GOD DAMN his smile is creeping looking. He won’t get close to wining because of it
Unless a miracle happens, I highly doubt he will make it out of the primaries for the democratic nomination, he is facing Beto and possibly Bernie. I don’t know man.
No capitalist is voting to put a Castro in office lmao
No thanks
Who? This is a poor choice for Dems...he has no power behind his name. Beto/Bernie all the way
🤣🤣🤣
This man looks like he about to shit on himself
Sounds like a communist name.
No.
From texas? Thank u, next
baseballot Just drop out in time to run for Senate bc theres no fucking way Julian Castro will be the Democratic nominee for President
If trump becomes president anybody can win
I hope you make it
Waste of time.
What happened to Beto?
Wholian?
No chance america will vote for a hispanic
Holy shit. Same person?
JonLemire thank you, next. no hard feelings bud.
😂😂😂 Good luck! 🙄
Lol. Nah 🙅🏾♀️
karolcummins D__Fye Julian Castro to form POTUS exploratory committee.
Never heard of her.
Literally no one wants him as President, he’s actually delusional lol
Morning_Joe Beto2020
Lmao! Bring them all on, it’s trump 2020
Idk about that, chief.
One more loser
Nope
Knew this was coming when they kept having him on during the NBA Finals when he was mayor of San Antonio
What exactly has he done except for pop up every two or four years and usually described as the “future” of the Democratic Party?
Dude has the face of a pedophile. This is a no for me.
This shows what a hot mess the Democrats are.
Hate to say it but he's not winning because he's absolutely hideous
melaniestarling Theres to much at stake, for dems to reach at the bottom of the barrel
That’s a bad picture bruh.
Wait...I thought OCS already signed up for potus in 2020
Whatever
Uhh, no...
Can you imagine having to look at this face for 4 or 8 years?
No.
no more continuation of Obama years. This Independent says nope.
No thank you. Castro couldnt run HUD, cant see him doing better with the whole country
pauljweber I love you first. The problem I see moving forward is who the party needs to support? This is a war against a con artist and we cant afford NO Mistakes. if we the Democrat party meet together with all that want to run for President and then make motion for one of them to run.
It's about damn time!
😂😂😂😂😂
What’s great is that he and Joaquín can just take turns governing every other day, so the other twin gets time to relax
Can't wait to meet all 17 people that vote for him!
No thanks.
JoshMankiewicz Are we sure it’s him? I remember a switch at a parade with Joaquin...
Morning_Joe Who?
Who?
Will he pretend to be white in order to counteract Francis BetoORourke pretending to be Hispanic?!?
Hhhmmmmmm...'President Castro'...nope, I can't see it.
I wanted him to run for Governor of Texas this year so disappointed that he didn’t. It would have been a game changer.
Not with that creepy ass smile.
hard pass
Better odds I win
They’re splitting the democrat vote again the absolute madmen Trump2020
Queen_CounTessa Not a fan of centrists
JoshMankiewicz Where the missing HUD money Julian?
Morning_Joe Send JulianCastro back! 😁 Wall MAGA
Who?
Morning_Joe Being homophobic is okay if you're a Democrat. Got it. MorningJoe
No thanks
God help us!
If he runs he will win.
Is he better than Trump? Yes! A blind goat is better than Trump.
He isn't good for America
Hard pass
ImForJulian After hearing Castro speak when he was Mayor of San Antonio... I told many “I think I’ve met a future President!”! ProvenLeadership Legacy ForTheFuture
Corrupt
who?
might as well run George P Bush on the Dem ticket for all the likelihood of him being elected
Hahahahaha....
We have so many great potential candidates it will be difficult to choose.
BroderickGreer Eww, nobody wants ol Grinchface to run
Noooooo!!
Sorry. Not a chance. Not ready for prime time.
He's not the one. This is a waste of money.
Man... Democrats want to lose really, really badly.
Noted. Thank you for stepping up to run. Like I'll do with everyone else that enters, I will definitely consider supporting you. Those saying so and so shouldn't run are ridiculous. Whoever wants to run should run and we, the Democratic Party voters, will decide who gets the nom.
Now that we have Castro down for a yes on running, we now wait for another Texas Democrat to throw his hat into the race. I’m okay if Beto waits it out to get all his ducks in a row.
No offense, but...who? The only dem from Texas who stands a shot is Beto. But, it's still a free country, kind of 😉
geegeebythesea A light bulb of youth and new ideas
Trump if he makes it to 2020 will win. The Democrats are going to battle themselves until there is nothing left. Everyone wants to be the hero and run against trump and all it’s doing is creating an over crowded field
My dude. This guy is the future!
So basically every red state Dem is going to run for president because they're all the answer. Fucking bleak
Yes!!!!
Joke of the day....
Who
Umm, why?
Who..
Please don't.
Holy shit. I spit my coffee out when I saw his picture. Is this a joke? 😂
Castro is a 🤡
Harris/Beto
He'll be at the top of the contender list, the lefties are in the mood for a nutcase and Ocasio is Constitutionally prohibited. So Castro it is.
Morning_Joe Nah
Hilarious.
Haha anyone who worked for Obama will be destroyed by Trump.
We have had a president with the name Hussein, might as well get a Castro in there.
Lol.... who?
actually think he would make a great candidate-as much as I like Biden-might be time for newer and fresher ideas in Washington-there are some good younger candidates stepping up to the plate-regardless all white GOP party needs to be ousted in 2020 & rebuild after Trump fiasco
Beto2020
Loser! He will not beat President Trump
Lol
LMAO. Where do liberals find these clowns
JonLemire We are going to give Republicans a freaking heart attack. First we elected an African American man who was one of the best presidents of my lifetime. And now to have an Latin American run n possibly win, oooh they will keel over.
naw bernie 2020
Morning_Joe THATS A JOKE
And yet another catastrophe waiting to happen.
Who the hell is this?
Am I the only one who is perplexed by the number of B-list contenders that are “exploring” runs this year?
I can't imagine how the Republicans will manage to spin a leftist candidate named Castro.
Creepy af
JoePerticone 17th place, just ahead of Tulsi Gabbard.
Trumpkin Russian installed Cambridge Analytica bots are currently having meltdowns because of this. They are convinced that Trump will see 'no charges from this WITCHHUNT! Reelection will happen!' They are wrong. BlueWave2018 put this in motion!
Who. Cares?
no gracias.
He did NOTHING. Perfect Democrat candidate.
A Beto/Castro ticket could win!
Morning_Joe Hmmm. He must be a really good 'fundraiser,' because he's boring as heck.
This ain’t it. BetoORourke is the next President of the United States. Beto2020
TomBevanRCP Yea that's right, We need a person named CASTRO running for President in the US just 90 MILES away from a Communist named CASTRO... Hmmm
One's first directive to one's Exploratory Committee is: 'Google me. Google me HARD, and find out everything that can be dug up about me. The volume and nature of the results will be the first factor determining my decision to run for office'
Loooool please do it Hahahaha
He'll have to change his first name to 'Larry' or something more anglo.
Nice to see another Latino run for the Presidency in 2020, but he's not going to be the first Latino President.
Who?
TomBevanRCP Who isn’t running?🙄
Ha ha ha that’s Funny
I can’t wait for the Democrat Primary debates. I wonder how the MSM moderators will minimize the fireworks. You know they’re gonna try to protect them. Or at least their anointed ones.
It would be Beto/Castro that would bring it home. Not the other way around. Texas would likely go blue, and could flip Florida as well.
Perhaps he wants to run, with a chance for a cabinet position...
Why?
pauljweber John Delaney is NOT the only dem who has declared...VoteOjeda2020 andrewyang2020
He has my vote. ❤️
LMAO. Why?
Twins! ... Julián and Joaquin Castro
Don't waste your time
Adios America!
He seems nice but NO!😑
Bahahahaha! Classic!
Lol
I mean, I'm not necessarily against this... but BetoforPresident.
Go for it, Julian.
Everybody's doin it
Bland cookie cutter dem.
Come on...let's get real. You need a name...big hitter to pull this off...everyone else needs to stay away. Don't cluster this like last time (votes split every direction).Democrats Election2019 JoeBiden HillaryClinton BillClinton billmaher SenSanders
Trump will win gain for sure with these kinds of opponents
Who? 😂😂
Not sure if America is ready for President Castro
🤷🏼♂️
As a Republican...
who
No thx
President Castro of the USA, who'd have thought it
Speaking of people who violated the Hatch Act and were not disciplined by the President...
I will vote for him
Wet bag of mulch 2020 I guess
We need governors to run. Congresspeople don’t have the executive experience needed.
So what are we up to now, 40? Clearly TheDemocrats are grasping at straws now.
The population keeps growing.
Anti Semite Conspiracy theorist isn’t disqualified to be a Democrat Presidential Nominee
VP material
I like the KamalaHarris / SenDuckworth ticket.
Don’t do it.
If Hillary choose him as her running mate in 2016 as was rumored. He'd have a stronger showing in 2020.
He and his twin need to both be quiet. Shhhhhh. 🍻
Not the Texas Democrat we want to run...
Eh.
He also recently subscribed to the channel...
Once somebody announces, we will have a flood of candidates for President.
He’ll lose easily. CrookedCastro
