There is some good polling showing that Julian Castro would help the Democratic ticket.

In addition,people are polling to see if Carnival Cruz will help a ticket as the vice president nominee. Guess what? Carnival Cruz is not that popular http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/polls/308761-poll-clinton-hugely-popular-among-latino-voters-rubio-still-unknown

The survey also found that a Democratic candidate could benefit among Hispanics by adding San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to the ticket, with 62 percent of voters saying his selection would make them more likely to back a Democratic ticket.

Fellow Texan Sen. Ted Cruz (R), does not carry the same weight on the Republican side, with 49 percent saying his choice as vice presidential candidate would make them less likely to vote for a GOP ticket.

Julian Castro helps the Democratic ticket but Carnival Cruz hurts a GOP ticket. Most people do not consider Carnival Cruz to be a hispanic (he is from Canada).

They think Cruz is loco. And mind you, they are apolitical but get most of their news from FN. So the brainwash doesn't work on everyone, anyway. They made a point to vote Dem this last time, even though some of the family leaned Tea.

She is loved.

Add Julian Castro to the ticket and it will turn every county between Brownsville and Austin bright blue, plus Houston and the counties along the river all the way to El Paso.

She'd become a major embarrassment. She'd gone around the bend watching Faux and was terrified of Obama.

But she is bigger on women's rights than anything else and that's where her vote will be going next year. That's why I've said those who dismiss women and minorities aren't wise.
