30. Something tells me that Mr. Castro

will decline this if he in fact is offered this.

I like Hillary and do want to see a Woman President but now that I have a real choice in the matter and the fact I'm old and we're leaving a mess for my 8 year old grand daughter to have to deal with I'll go for the man who talks the language I talk. Its Bernie Sanders all the way for me. I will work for him I will support him as well as my meager finances will allow. its not the amount its the will that matters. Last I read there is a lot of us who Will.
