Texas Tribune: Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro is threatening to end his campaign if he does not raise $800,000 by the end of the month, saying he is in “dire need of financial resources to keep going.”
Castro, the former U.S. housing secretary and San Antonio mayor, is following in the footsteps of rival Cory Booker as he struggles to make the November debate stage, which Castro has previously described as a do-or-die target for his bid. Booker, a U.S. senator from New Jersey, implied last month he would drop out of the race if he did not raise $1.7 million in 10 days — a goal he ended up hitting.
Castro announced the $800,000 push in an email to supporters Monday morning, insisting it was not “a fundraising gimmick — it’s the transparency and honesty I have promised you since I entered this race.” more
Good news! Not good for Texas or the country. Bye Felicia!
Gee Julio, I’d love to help you out but I’m busy propping up the welfare class.
well…..
Dude could creep out Richard Simmons…
I’m not into it AT ALL but maybe some voodoo priest out there will read this comment and stab needles into a Julian voodoo doll.
JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST throwin’ it out there…
I was raised during the Cold War, when Communism was the existential enemy of America. Now, every Democrat running for president is a communist; socialist, democratic socialist, national socialist; they are all the same.
!Vaya con dios, maricon! (not that he’d know God, the smarmy little Socialist)
Everyone send him a dime and ask for a paper receipt.
Itll cost him a dollar to reply.
Well, BYE
Shouldn’t the socialists Bernie and Tulsi share some of theirs???
Is that a promise?!
Hey everybody, send me 800,000 dollars and I promise I won’t run!
If anyone tips off my wife about that ask I’ll personally ring their Goddamned neck.
The last thing I need is for her to have something like that to compare to the $1,100 she was short last week and had to come to me for look like entirely reasonable
Typical lying Democratic scum, we are not going to be lucky enough to see him drop out.

See, Hillary! Drumpf won’t out-lie you!
If we’re lucky, there won’t be a Party to drop out of soon!
$799,998 to purchase an original idea.
Well, I can kiss that free $1,000 a month for life goodbye. I had so many plans for that. True- after 36 months it would not be enough to by a Big Mac but experiencing hyper inflation would have been such a character building life event- like Chemo. And how does not want to have that as a chapter of “in my life’s review’. /Scar off
Who?
Well, whoever he is, send him money so that he can drop out a few weeks later. It’s a nice cash stash that he can redirect…
Heard Rush say today that Julian and his brother were born with a molotov cocktail in their hand.
