Totally unprepared and unqualified for prime time.

Would be an absolutely horrible choice.

Doesn't even speak Spanish.

Would be like today's equivalent of Agnew, Quayle, Palin.




Quayle and Agnew were qualified.

Not so much.  Not like Cheney, Lieberman, Biden.

Agnew, Quayle, Palin were political lightweights, whereas Cheney, Lieberman, Biden had plenty of gravitas.

I agree that Agnew and Quayle arent the level of Lieberman, Biden or Cheney. But they also arent Palin or Castro.

Castro as VP is intellectually insulting.

I agree with this.
Agnew was kind of an Obama/Cruz figure, an exciting first-term governor who inspired the base.  Even Palin had soaring popularity ratings and was widely thought to be an excellent politician, although Alaska is pretty easy to govern (clearly) and her biggest claimed success, stopping the bridge to nowhere, was a lie.  Pre-vet, she looked like a great choice.
We can see without vetting him that Castro is not qualified to be president of the United States.  Having him stand next to Clinton will only further accentuate that, i.e. she's the secretary of state, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's never even left the country.

Most of the GOP are comparing Castro to Palin. Dems shouldnt listen to GOP. Palin was the worst VP candidate, Castro isnt nearly as bad, otherwise his name wouldnt come up.

Kaine voted for Fast Track, Teamsters are against, Solis is a female, Heinrich will be replaced by Martinez replacement,

Palin's biggest accomplishment was taking on the oil interests to make sure AK got more royalties.
