13. Hillary Clinton is talking about winning Texas - a traditionally Republican State. Why so confident?

She's got something brewing that she's not telling the media, and I believe it's Texas-born, Mexican-American, Julian Castro. He was the popular Mayor of San Antonio three times in a row and he will inspire Latinos in Texas to get out the vote (in addition to them coming out against the Lyin-Don).

He gave the keynote address at the 2012 Democratic Convention, much like Senator Obama gave the keynote address in 2004. People have noted (and noticed) that Julian Castro is the Latino Obama.

Julian is the promise to Latinos - specifically Mexican-Americans - that after Hillary Clinton's two terms, he can run and become president. You BET they'll come out to vote for him in Texas and all other States.

Edited to correct the dates of keynote addresses.
