The Hill"It feels like something that Donald Trump might tweet," Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) told CNN, adding that the attack was "so personal and so unnecessary."
"I've seen this movie before in the last election," added Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who added that Castro's concerns about Biden were "legitimate."
"But you saw the way I did it. It wasn't a cheap shot," he added of his own past clashes onstage with the former vice president.
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) also took aim at Castro onstage Thursday night over the tenor of Castro's remarks.

(22,911 posts)Of course I would vote for him over Trump But Castro just made a long shot gamble on becoming relevant. And he lost.
No way he is our nominee. Probably the only thing he did is throw away any chance of being our VP choice, and going into the debates I thought he had a fairly good chance of ending up on the ticket in the second slot.

(11,495 posts)It was a mistake on Castros part, it was not even close to what trump will do to the nominee, if they have a debate. You have to remember trump is a narcissist, and they play dirty, period. What happened here wasn't even close to how dirty trump will play in the general election.
