Julian Castro: If I Run for President, I Will Not Beat Trump By Acting Like Trump

RUSH EXCERPT:

CASTRO: “Well, I would say two things, first of all, if I decide to run, I don't think that you are going to beat Donald Trump by trying to be Donald Trump. I watch a lot of boxing. If you watch boxing or sports or other things, you see that oftentimes people that are considered invincible are not beaten by somebody that has exactly the same skill set. They are beaten by somebody that has a different style. But maybe more importantly, it is the folks who have been hopeful and optimistic and painted a strong vision for the future that especially if Democrats have prevailed, you think about in the modern era, Kennedy or Carter when he ran, when he represented a break from scandal or Clinton when he ran, or perhaps the best example, br ak Obama. So I think that the next nominee has to be able to stand up to Donald Trump and to call him out, but also to speak directly to the American people and offer a strong hopeful vision for the future.”
