He's got a couple of negatives from the viewpoint of his party.



First is unfair. He will never win the state of Florida with that last name.



Second, he was quite happy to give Trump $600,000 in subsidies as a San Antonio city councilman. haha

Not much of a concern here, because the odds of this bobble head being president are a million to one.

Can anyone tell me why he is even running? He is among the lightest of light weights- I do not even see as much heft as Marco Rubio who was eviscerated in the 2016 debates.


I know someone who went to law school with him and the assessment was not very kind. And FWIW the classmate is a Dem so this was not a ra-ra evil Democrat type of assessment.

because the weasel wants a cabinet position if the Dems win in 2020.....he knows he has no shot to win the nomination. His Latino and that is part of the base of the Democrat party. They need to throw him a bone in a cabinet position.

He’s going to be on “The View” (ABC) later today, so lets see what he has to say, before anymore negativity is said about him!

Here in San Antonio he's not well thought of. Regardless of the source this is the truth.

Quote: Rosie named her first son, Julian, for his father whom she never married, and her second, who arrived a minute later, for the character in the 1967 Chicano anti-gringo movement poem, “I Am Joaquin.” She is particularly proud that they were born on Mexico’s Independence Day. And she was a fan of the Aztlan aspirations of La Raza Unida. Those aspirations were deeply radical. “As far as we got was simply to take over control in those [Texas] communities where we were the majority,” one of its founders, Jose Angel Gutierrez, told the Toronto paper. “We did think of carving out a geographic territory where we could have our own weight, and our own leverage could then be felt nation-wide.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...ical-revealed/
