I think he just switched ties.


Sounds like the plot to a Disney made-for-tv movie!


Separated at birth, twin brother re-unite for hilarious tomfoolery and political hi-jinx.

GREAT STUFF you guys are sending back to all of us who can't be there. Makes us feel like we are!

He's probably really not twins at all - just a hyper-active and ambitious guy with TWO elected positions. Sort of like Tyler Durden in Fight Club. I mean, has anyone actually seen them together?

"No, no - I'm the one with the *red* tie - my brother wears the blue tie". Sure.

Wikipedia says Joaquin and Julian Castro are twin brothers. I had never heard of Joaquin.
