Julian Castro is not as confident as the Democratic Establishment that Biden can beat Trump.

[egbertowillies]

Many share the same sentiment that Julian Castro articulates here. It is best that this is addressed now because it could bite us when we have no recourse.

1. Shut up and get your neighbors to vote.

2. Agreed

It’s a reason why over 70 percent doesn’t want Biden to run again. I’m not going to say it here but we shouldn’t ignore those polls at our own peril.

5. Welcome to DU. You should look deeper into those polls. They are looking for a fantasyland

“generic Dem” candidate who doesn’t exist. Like some combination of Obama, Elvis and Jesus. There is no such candidate.

Biden will run on his accomplishments which are many.

Additionally Castro is still mad because his shitty attempts to smear Biden as senile in the primary debates backfired spectacularly on him.

During the third Democratic Presidential Debate, Castro was accused of ageism after he attacked Joe Biden in a heated exchange over health care plans with Castro taunting Biden saying "Are you forgetting what you just said two minutes ago", repeating it multiple times. Castro was rebuked for his remarks by various members of the candidates on stage including, Andrew Yang, Amy Klobuchar, and Pete Buttigieg. Castro was widely criticized for what was seen as a "low blow", and with many accusing Castro of "bullying", and engaging in "ageism". Journalist Gayle King saw the interaction as a "personal attack".On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Stephen Colbert described the interaction as both "mean and inaccurate", since Castro was factually incorrect in his attack against Biden according to Politifact.

8. He also came after Beto O'Rourke in the first debate without provocation.

I don't know if he can be relied upon as a team player.

9. I had forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder.

6. Not a huge fan of this dude

Always negative about Biden/WH/certain Dems.

[Krakhead]

7. Could Trump Win? Hey, anything's possible!

But the country had four years of this treasonous asshole's pathetic excuse for an Administration. Outside the Trumpcult, I doubt the voters will be enthusiastic for a sequel next year.
