Meet or meat, Julian Castro brings to mind Walter Mondale's famous debate rejoinder, "Where's the beef?!"

Within weeks, he was at HUD calling in new staff and holdovers, asking them for their vision for the year ahead.

He seems genuinely interested in helping people, they’d say, but not interested enough in HUD policy to want to engage deeply.

Would be a terrible VP. What was O thinking, even offering him DHS? Ridiculous.

Castro turned down the first two jobs he considered for the Obama administration.

He said no to Homeland Security before anyone ever offered it, after a Democratic operative with White House ties reached out to gauge his interest in taking over for Janet Napolitano. No way, Castro and his tight circle of advisers decided. The concern wasn’t that he had no national security or law enforcement experience, but, according to people familiar with the conversations at the time, because: what if there was an attack on his watch? That would have ended the political career he’d started with a fundraiser with his twin brother among his Harvard Law classmates before they graduated.

Emoji guy can’t seem to defend his racist beliefs.

Apparently not everyone thinks I'm not a racist.

Or they're just making the accusation to divert from their own racism.

The poster who said "Emoji guy can't seem to defend your racist beliefs" is mocking you, and being snarky about how ridiculous you come across. People can say things they do not mean literally, as the rest of us learned in kindergarten.

Neither would 99% of the posters who you've called racist. The only logical reason for you to call most of the people racist, that you have called racist, racist, is them disagreeing with Castro.

1. Refer to him as "Julianito" which is a dog whistle racist taunt akin to calling a grown black man "boy." These are the racists.

2. Are completely ignorant or lie about any accomplishment of Julian Castro. If they don't know about it or deny it, then they think their statements that he is unaccomplished are true or somehow justified. These are the ignorants and liars.
