Seems Hillary, not even through the primaries yet, has likely chosen her running mate. According to former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, her VP choice will be Julián Castro. He’s the ideal Democrat VP candidate. Why? Because in the age of identity politics, which twice succeeded in placing a man of little accomplishment into the highest office in the land based primarily on race, Castro is young, attractive, charismatic, and Hispanic. He’s the Left’s “answer” to the liberty-loving Ted Cruz, or an equally-charismatic Marco Rubio, because the First Hispanic President cannot possibly be a Republican or something. From The Hill:

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is likely to choose Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Julián Castro or another Hispanic politician to be her running mate, former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros said in an interview that [aired] Sunday.

“What I am hearing in Washington, including from people in Hillary Clinton’s campaign, is that the first person on their lists is Julián Castro, the … Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, who use[d] to be the Mayor of San Antonio,” he said in an interview with Univision’s “Al Punto.”

“They don’t have a second option, because he is the superior candidate considering his record, personality, demeanor and Latin heritage.”

Yep, the Dynamic Duo of Gender and Race. That’s worked out so well the last time. Here are a few facts on Castro. From Hot Air:

Castro has something in common with a number of other high profile Democrat “rising stars” from all appearances. He rose to fame and success based on a “humble roots narrative” rather than any early accomplishments. And to be sure, it’s a great narrative. One of a pair of twins, he was the child of a political activist in San Antonio and didn’t have a wealthy background.
