1. Powerful!

[bluewater]

2. K&R

[blm]

3. Perfect.

Sad and angry that it was necessary. Hats off to Julián Castro.

[mountain grammy]

4. I'd vote for him. in a heartbeat. No question!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Excellante, Julian!!

Airing on FOX no less to make sure Trump sees it.

Where are his Tweets opposing the ad? Wait for it...…..

[wendyb-NC]

6. Excellent!

Thank you! for posting. I agree with him.

[ancianita]

7. Powerful! Question. I speak Spanish but I can't make out that last word. Anyone know?

[George II]

10. He said "Ya basta" (enough), it's at the bottom of the screen but disappears quickly.

[greymattermom]

23. Love it.

Because folks who don't know Spanish hear "you bastard".

[ancianita]

27. Thanks! That I understand; guess I misheard him say 'chabasta'. Forgot the dj sound made with Y's.

[roody]

11. Already! Enough!

[lapucelle]

8. That's a powerful ad.

It reminds me of this:

Hopefully more people will be listening now that they can see exactly the degree of damage this president was capable of visiting upon our country.

[gtar100]

41. Incredible how prescient she was.

She warned us but republicans had to have their Hillary bashing tantrum, it's so programmed into them.

[lapucelle]

42. But it's even worse than anyone imagined with frightened children sobbing

for their missing parents.

[Ztolkins]

9. Does anyone else see this guy as super rehearsed?

I noticed it at the debate, in the post-interview, he would answer questions with the exact same language he used during the debate.

Now I can't unsee stuff like this when he's on T.V.

[George II]

13. No.

[Duppers]

15. Your point?

This ad deserves a 1,000 kudos but you are trashing him, why? He's not your candidate, so what? Not mine either. But I'm f'n damn proud of the job he's doing here and am supportive. He's a *good* man!

"Can't unsee stuff like this"?!! Why the hell would you want to?? WTF?




-Supporting a Biden/Beto ticket.

[lunatica]

17. You're comment is very odd

[bluewater]

21. That's a hard NO.

[ancianita]

28. Nope.

[Hortensis]

33. Should that be allowed to distract from his meaningful message?

I'm not questioning that you heard it that way, but so what? I vote for people of good character and ideals, not talented actors. Reagan's phony warm fuzzies left me cold, but not because he didn't perform well.

[happy feet]

37. No.

[pazzyanne]

44. Absolutely not!

[nini]

49. they're all rehearsed for the debates

They all have some talking points and zingers ready.

[Skittles]

65. no, not really

[lark]

12. I really like Castro,

and love this ad.

[brer cat]

14. Great ad!

K&R

[cp]

16. Castro's doing an Excellent job

Very impressed with him.

[riversedge]

18. short and too the point.

[NYMinute]

19. Vamos Julian!!! nt

[RainCaster]

20. Excellent!

[DesertRat]

22. It will be airing on Fox News!

I feel a deranged tweet storm coming on!

Go Julian!

[ananda]

24. I'm ananda and I approve this message also!

Thank you, Julian Castro!

[Vegas Roller]

25. Very powerful

K&R

[Clarity2]

26. Its a great ad

I just dont know if its a good strategy for Fox. How do you convince the racists not to be racist in a 30 second ad? I think for Fox, a different strategy is called for. Unless its just appealing to the never trump or swing voters, who I honestly dont think are watching Fox much.

[ancianita]

30. Since he addresses Trump directly, fox viewers won't think he's addressing them, and might identify

with him. I see this presentation as both inventive and persuasive.

[oldsoftie]

34. Most people dont realize that a large segment of Fox viewers are NOT RW republicans.

Or not republicans at all.
Many surveys have shown this.
Its a good move on castro to do it. Just as doing their townhalls is also a good move.

[Clarity2]

43. Really? I did not know that

I really have never watched, except for a short moments to see how they were framing something. I wonder who they are watching, and how they can stand the propaganda.

[oldsoftie]

45. Yep!. Many here refuse to believe it, but 1/3 ID as independent & even 10-15% liberal.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/03/12/fox-news-audience-may-not-be-what-you-think-even-if-programming-usually-is/

Here's a quote that even surprised me:

"Speaking of The Post, we also polled on media preferences late last year. We asked people to identify their most trusted sources of political news, including news outlets, companies and people. Among those who identified any of the cable news networks as their first or second most-trusted sources, about half of those picking Fox News were Republican. About a fifth were Democrats."

[scardycat]

48. I think b/c thats the only news channel they get..

especially in rural south.

[oldsoftie]

59. cable/satellite would carry all 3 together I'd imagine.

I'm still surprised that Fox hasnt started a nightly newscast on their affiliates to compete with CBS/NBC/ABC

[Hekate]

29. I am so proud of our Dem candidates. Julian is not the only one who's parents/grandparents...

...came from someplace else, and we celebrate them

[Gothmog]

31. That is a great ad

[RANDYWILDMAN]

32. Wow awesome!

Doubt the t-rump followers aka cult members will even get it. We have 100 million people every day who take the red pill and stay sedated in the matrix.

Castro is solid I hope he run again in 12 years

[calimary]

35. Good one. Right in the face of the Beast.

And all the little minions of the Beast too.

[crazytown]

36. Forget the ad,

it's trump's Twitter feed Julian is looking at.

[NoMoreRepugs]

38. Damn. That was really something. Truth and facts are POWERFUL.

[wyldwolf]

39. wonder how many rednecks shot their TVs?

[AllaN01Bear]

40. eggscllent

[scardycat]

46. Yesss BALLS!! n/t

[CaptYossarian]

47. It was a good ad, but was wasted on the racists who watch FOX.

He should focus on winning the primaries.

[Perseus]

51. Sorry, I should have read your entry first, did not mean to copy.

But we both agree...wasted opportunity.

[CaptYossarian]

56. No worries. I thought I'd be jumped on as a dissenting view.

[Perseus]

50. Sorry but I feel he wasted an opportunity

Instead of talking about stuff that racists don't care about, he should have talked about all the promises the creature has failed to deliver to his base.

I hate to say it, but he is not going to change any hearts from Faux news viewers about that topic of racism, I think it is safe to bet that most Faux viewers are racists and they love what the administration is doing.

Why instead not talk about the coal industry disappearance, one he promised to help, about the farmers going bankrupt, create panic on those trumpers about their ACA going away that they will be left without insurance, ask them "Are you better off today than you were five years ago?", "Do you understand that the President is using you, and not delivering on his promises to make your life better?", and so much more he could have said.

I can see the MAGA people saying things to Castro on the TV, giving him the finger, etc.

Wasted opportunity. My apologies, but for Faux I don't see anything powerful about the ad, on MSNBC? Yes, that would have been very powerful.

[RLG]

52. Will the Houston Chronicle write an oped piece telling Castro to drop out?

No, I didn't think so.

[TNNurse]

53. I have been impressed with him from the beginning.

[cannabis_flower]

54. I love this guy but..

Please, someone buy him a suit jacket that fits.

[oasis]

55. Can't get more real than that. nt

[zentrum]

57. Love it!

[democrank]

58. Effective ad, good man.

[SilasSouleII]

60. This is good. I would have added...

¡Vete a la chingada pinche cabron sin verguensa!

[highplainsdem]

61. Wow! Good for him! Great ad!

[George II]

62. If you're here, Don Lemon is going to interview him about the ad in a minute or two on CNN.

[highplainsdem]

64. Missed it -- sorry -- but I'll look for video later.

[BigmanPigman]

63. Lawrence is going to show this on his show tonight.

[Cha]

66. WOW!!! "Ya Basta!" I'm kinda surprised fox

went for it.

Julian Castro's campaign $$$$$ sure went to Good use!!

Gracias, George and Rep Castro!

[Cha]

67. KICK!
