Castro Won't Qualify for Next Debate

I donated to Castro early on in the process to get him into the first debate. https://politicalwire.com/2019/11/13/castro-wont-qualify-for-next-debate/

“Julián Castro won’t qualify for the next Democratic presidential primary debate, the only candidate still in the race who participated in the October debate to miss out on November’s,” Politico reports.

Ten candidates are projected to participate in the debate on November 20: Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer, Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Yang.

I like MJ and the Castro brothers have pissed off a number of people in the state party. Castro has until December 9 to file for Texas Senate

I don’t know a single person that supports her. That’s not saying much. But I know a lot of Dems here. I used to be an elected member of my county central committee.

I think she'd have been out if not for all the extra support she picked up after Hillary's comments were used to such great effect.

As much hate as Gabbard rightly gets, Castro has actually been worse in terms of attacking other candidates in cheap ways.

Castro should just "forget" about being President.

His attack on Bidens age was a cheap shot and he deserves to get left out now. Also, his entire premise that Biden had changes stances on his healthcare bill was wrong anyway.
