The LA Times has an article, just read the headline because I think I’ve used up my free reads on this computer, about Julian Castro taking a VP test run with Clinton in Iowa this week. Honest question, is that something that makes any kind of sense for Castro’s political career going forward?

Cruz and Abbott are going to be up for reelection in 2018, wouldn’t either of those be a better play than being VP? The same party hasn’t won five presidential elections in a row since FDR and Truman, and that’s what Castro would be looking at if he were looking at eventually running for president.
