With Obama having shown how to expertly play identity politics by ruthlessly, shamelessly exploiting the left leaning media's utter love of identity politics and thusly win elections you really have no right winning, I sort of joked awhile back that post Obama Democrats from now until the end of time [the end of time being when liberals have finished ruining the country] will nominate in national elections nothing but 'identity' candidates - and so it is word comes down that Julian Castro is being groomed to be Hillary's running mate. Ah, yes - gosh, how quickly in Obama's America jokes morph into reality. And I'm sure if this all plays out as progressives so fondly dream it might Castro's eventual VP will be openly gay.
I mean, if it wasn't actually so plausible, you'd laugh at the absolute absurdity of running a country this way, right?
Such a scenario is all a factor of media bias - which is why I say media bias will destroy the legitimacy of a democracy if something doesn't come along to correct it - and then you'll get a dangerous push back from the far right, which is exactly what we're seeing happen in Europe in response to the anti-democracy uber left EU.
If the GOP cannot find a way to defeat this beast things could really start falling apart - and to my mind, since media bias is the key to all this, the only way to defeat it is either by nominating someone who is extremely good at handling the media, who really shines when the cameras are on - or match identity candidate for identity candidate - make Susana Martinez or Nikki Haley your candidate in 2016.
