2016 Postmortem

(32,041 posts)many followers. The thing about him is that he is charismatic, smart (but not intellectual sounding - he's got that rapport with people), and he is really part of the Latin community (as opposed to George P Bush - just a little younger on the other side - who can also speak Spanish but wouldn't know community organization if it hit him in the face). And he is funny - which people love - he is always making bets with the other mayors on whether his sports teams will win.
Whether it's 2016, 2020, or 2024 I am going to support him. I do need to get myself over to meet him. His campaign is great about sending invites to his official birthday parties etc but of course it is always in San Antonio which is 4 hours away. I need him to come on a fund raising tour through Houston.
If Hillary is smart enough to pick him I think she can win this.
