"Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) is under fire for tweeting out a list of donors to President Donald Trump. Why the maneuver is so controversial isn’t entirely clear: It’s all information that was already public.
The Texas Democrat and brother to 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro on Monday tweeted a list of 44 San Antonio donors who contributed the maximum amount under federal law to Trump in 2019. “Sad to see so many San Antonians as of 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump,” he wrote, calling out a couple of the city’s better-known donors by their Twitter handles. “Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.’”" vox
--------------
ILLEGAL immigrants who cross a border into the US ARE "invaders." What Joaquin Castro has demonstrated with this assault on the political opinions of Americans is that he has no respect for those he disagrees with.

Reality is this dichotomy of energy and form. Desire and judgement. Youth and age. Liberal and conservative. Look at galaxies; Energy radiating out, as mass coalesces in.
We are motivated by our desires, but potential far exceeds actual, so there have to be decisions made. It is the process of selection that we take from nature.
That we are so culturally immature that we have yet to see this tension and resulting fluctuation between our heart and our head, as fundamental to morality, ethics, society and politics is sad.
As Robert Frost put it; If you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart. If you are not conservative when you are old, you have no head.

This man was the only one out of the lot that made my skin crawl as I watched the debates, and yes, his background has everything to do with it. I happened to watch the last one with my staunchly Democrat naturalized immigrant father, even he was profoundly disturbed by the "free for all" lawless pandering to migrants espoused by most on the Democrat roll. I will relate for context that my father has a long history of being an immigrant and a stranger in a foreign land, first as an OG merit immigrant to arguably the most nationalistic/xenophobic(for better) white area of the Western world, Québec, and then to the USA; if he was disturbed by the Nu Democrat talking points these people are certainly in trouble for 2020.

Someone thinks the polls support that type of a funding appeal. Damn few pols (R or D) strike me as believing what they say. Its a (sad) sign of the times.

This guy is just another foaming at the mouth Democrat lefty pinhead with a case of Trump derangement syndrome.
He got his 15 seconds of fame, now back under the rock with the Mexican flag.

MP98,
The only rocks that will make the news are the ones picked up by those who understood his message.

Castro voted for the anti-BDS resolution which condemns boycotting Israel, at the same time knowing his list of Trump donors will be used to boycott their companies. He obviously feels protecting Israel is more important than Americans feeling secure to support their chosen candidate.
