ABC News poll just out shows him at 3%. His highest poll result in 3 months. Other polls still have him at 1%.

I was watching a news interview a few days ago, and thought that I was listening to Julián, but it turned out to be his brother Joaquin. They look alike, sound alike, think alike... I’m confused!!😐

Ok. You and a lot of people. Including the professional press apparently.

He'll need to begin to pull from Biden and Buttigieg. And pretty fast to stay in the debates.
Don't expect him to last much longer

His support after the debate was about double what it was before the debate according to average data at 538.


Will he eventually inherit support from O'Rourke? I dunno.


Just saying there is an outside chance he could matter. Not yet.

I read his book and came away generally mostly impressed. I thought he might be a good option for the 'moderate lane,' but I think he was probably badly hurt by the emphasis on immigration in the Wed. debate.

His crowning achievement as San Antonio mayor was 'pre-K for SA' (universal pre-K) which I would be strongly opposed to. Thinking back to my own childhood, I got little out of kindergarten. I had already learned to read by my mother reading stories to me as I sat on her lap. I found kindergarten to be a waste of time. And now they want to send kids to school at age 3???

RCP has O'Rourke at 2.3%, and Castro does not even register in the top 7.

The best possible campaign ad of the season: "I believe in the rights of trans females to tax-payer funded abortions" Julian Castro
