panicked and said on CNN this morning that choosing Julian Castro as Hillary's running mate is a "cynical move" and that if Cruz is the nominee, it would negate Julian's effectiveness as a running mate who can draw the Latino vote. Yeah, right. Cubans are not beloved by the larger Hispanic community. In fact, the vast majority of Hispanics can't stand Cubans, so no, Jamie, a Cruz nomination (which ain't gonna happen) would NOT negate Julian Castro's power to draw the Hispanic vote one bit.

For those who don't know, The Daily Caller is also known as The Daily Howler - a RW-rag cut from the same cloth as Breitbart.com, and Jamie Weinstein is its most prominent editors.

So when you have a GOTPer panicking at the prospect of Julian Castro on the ticket with Hillary Clinton, we should go with that choice.
