(145,554 posts)There is some good polling showing that Julian Castro would help the Democratic ticket.
In addition,people are polling to see if Carnival Cruz will help a ticket as the vice president nominee. Guess what? Carnival Cruz is not that popular http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/polls/308761-poll-clinton-hugely-popular-among-latino-voters-rubio-still-unknown
Fellow Texan Sen. Ted Cruz (R), does not carry the same weight on the Republican side, with 49 percent saying his choice as vice presidential candidate would make them less likely to vote for a GOP ticket.
Julian Castro helps the Democratic ticket but Carnival Cruz hurts a GOP ticket. Most people do not consider Carnival Cruz to be a hispanic (he is from Canada).

Add Julian Castro to the ticket and it will turn every county between Brownsville and Austin bright blue, plus Houston and the counties along the river all the way to El Paso.
