If this guy gives a killer Keynote address speech I say he's a future president

[LynneSin]

That's Julian Castro, mayor of San Antonio.

I think this guy has potential!

1. would he be the youngest?

[Pab Sungenis]

15. In 2016? Yes.

He would be 42 years, 126 days old when inaugurated on January 20, 2017.

Teddy Roosevelt assumed office at the age of 42 years, 322 days. John Kennedy was 43 years, 267 days.

If he gets elected in 2020, he would rank third. Clinton is currently third (46 years, 154 days), then Grant (46 years, 311 days), then Obama (47 years 169 days).

2. My first thought

HOT! I guess this ol' gal still has some hormones floating around.

[Logical]

3. Hmmm. He only won 82% of the vote his last election so not sure! :-)

4. Dude even looks like Jimmy Smits in TWW

5. I can just hear Republicans now...

..."OMG! Democrats are discussing how to make Castro the next U.S. President!!!"

[randome]

6. He's already known as the first future Hispanic President.

I'd say he's what we're looking at in 2016.

7. Still trying to figure out why this man has buzz around him

And I heard this man give the keynote at this year's Texas state convention. I came away from it thinking, "That was the keynote? Who is this guy, and why are we paying attention?"

He's a Democratic mayor in a red county in a predominantly red state. That's all I really know about him, but I wish him well.

8. Castro?

Finally, somebody to bring socialism to America.

[Permanut]

9. I had a similar thought when Pres Obama spoke at the '04 convention. n/t

[monmouth]

10. He reminds me of Marco Rubio, in looks only..n/t

[Control-Z]

13. Better ears.

Sorry.

[avebury]

11. I was really hoping that Martin O'Malley would be picked for the keynote speech.

I have liked him every time that I have seen him speaking on TV. I think he has a real future on the national scene.

[Terra Alta]

12. This is the first I've heard of this guy

but I can't wait to hear him speak!

[one_voice]

14. Could you imagine the...

repugs..first the dems pick Barack HUSSEIN Obama and now CASTRO

Jesus Christ their heads might really explode.

[Deep13]

16. Mayor of San Antonio?

What's his path to the WH? His next step would be governor or senator and I don't see TX going for him.

17. It would never work.

His eyes are too sexy.
