Julian Castro: Trump ‘Thinks He’s Going to Win in 2020’ Through ‘Racial Priming’
EXCERPT:
CASTRO: “This guy is the biggest identity politician that we have seen in the last 50 years, and he engages in what’s known as racial priming. Basically using this language and taking actions to try and get people to move into their camps by racial and ethnic identity. That’s how he thinks he won in 2016 and that’s how he thinks he’s going to win in 2020. And, you know, I don’t think it’s going to be a coincidence that just a few weeks ago he kicked off his 2020 campaign and here we are with the same playbook that he used in 2016. But I believe that there are enough people, whether they’re white or black or Latino or Asian American, Native American, rich or poor who share the same values of basic respect and compassion and- and- you know, faith and love of country that are going to bring us together more strongly than he can tear us apart.”
