I've said it before and I'll say it again: we need a WARREN/CASTRO ticket.

[CTyankee]

Looking at the electoral map again yesterday woke me up AGAIN to our need to be competitive, and WIN, in Texas and perhaps Colorado or Nevada. And one or two of the former "blue wall" states we lost last time.

To do that we need a large Hispanic turnout.

I am sure this is not terribly new news to you and anybody else in the Dem Party who looks at the electoral map. I am not a Steve Kornacki but we can all do the math.

Here is one map that shows the dynamic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states

I believe a Warren/Castro ticket could do this for us. Warren was a star of the first magnitude at the Dem debate this past week. She has shown she can deliver OUR DEMOCRATIC MESSAGE forcefully. But we need the diversity, the voice, that can carry our message of inclusion equally as forcefully.

I think we win if we have a Warren/Castro ticket this year!

[Kurt V.]

1. love it

[joost5]

2. or Stacey Abrams :) love her

[joost5]

3. or maybe it's unrealistic in 2020 America to have 2 women on the ticket?

Sad to say it but the US might not be ready for that.

[MoonlitKnight]

17. Essentially three women

Pelosi is next in line after Abrams.

[CTyankee]

5. Ilove Stacy and I love the idea of two women on the ticket but we need the strong Hispanic voice

to energize the Hispanic communities in more of our states rich in electoral votes...

[MoonlitKnight]

16. This

It’s a play for Georgia. Get Pennsylvania and Georgia and it’s over. Plus we have a shot at one if not both senate seats.

[relayerbob]

4. I like it

[DanTex]

6. That would be a strong ticket, yes.

If it comes down to a brokered convention with Bernie having a plurality, if it's they broker some deal to keep bernie off the ticket, Warren/Castro is about as good they could do.

[CalFione]

7. I like that ticket. But note, we won NV and CO last time

it could help us pick up AZ though.

[sweetloukillbot]

8. The way she answered the question about running mates last night...

It sounded like the deal is done w/ Castro to me.

[eissa]

21. That's the impression I got as well

She practically blurted it out. I think it would be a great ticket.

[sweetloukillbot]

22. I've loved Castro since I heard him on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me about 10 years ago... nt

[mopinko]

9. that's a really great ticket. down ballot, here we come.

i really hope folks wake up and see the ew is bernie minus the baggage. and a better track record of getting things done. i mean, people, the consumer finance agency. hello?

i've said this before, so i will say it again-
i dont understand how we go into the war for the future carrying all bernie's baggage when ew just has this nice little handbag.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

12. +1

[FM123]

10. The math certainly looks like it could work....

If Castro can deliver Texas that would be 38 electoral votes which is HUGE. That one state is even more electoral votes than AZ, CO, NV, UT and NM added together.

[CTyankee]

11. Why do you think AZ is possible? What has changed there since mcCain?

[FM123]

14. The thing that makes me think that it might be possible

is based on what some of my friends in AZ have told me (hearsay?) that more and more young progressive people that are seeking better jobs and lower cost of living are moving there, especially young folks from California.

[CTyankee]

15. Wow! Just wonderful. Megan McCain will have a heart attack on The View!

But I suspect she already knows this in her black heart of hearts...

[sweetloukillbot]

20. I'm in AZ and I honestly don't think it's possible

That being said, we elected a lot of Dems in 2018 and almost took back the state house, and McSally is in trouble right now, so I wouldn't be too surprised if we did.

[LiberalBrooke]

13. Just what I have been thinking.

Warren/Castro would win in November.

[CTyankee]

18. That is why he seems to lay low nowadays. I think there is a tacit agreement.

Plus, with his twin out there campaigning too they can have one in TX and one in CO and it will seem like there are Castros everywhere! I love it and it would drive Dump crazy.

[bunny planet]

19. Yes,

absolutely!!! And if Liz gets to the point where she can win I believe that's who she has in mind.
