Poor Julian Castro

He was rotated in at HUD to build up his entries in the favor bank en route to dominating state machine politics, like Andrew Cuomo before him

(Or Hilda Solis at Labor, who’s now cooling her heels on the LA County Board – between state leg. term limits on one hand and Pelosi staying on/no Clinton cabinet to decamp to, the CA Dems just don’t have enough positions for their sachems rn)

But then Trump let them pivot harder to the suburbs and now Beto’s the Texas Dems’ golden boy and it’s like “Julian Who?”
