I'm sure she would say yes to both.

Harris would do better than the other Californian lefties. At least she'd manage to hold all the states Hillary won.

Newsom would only win the West Coast (except Alaska) and Nevada.

Garcetti wouldn't even win his home state. A lot of people forget how much the rest of the state hates LA, the IE being the only exception. While they have voted for candidates from LA such as Gray Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, an LA mayor would be as popular in the Bay Area as the head of Planned Parenthood would be in Alabama.

None of these people would remedy what's wrong with the Democratic Party. None of them would get working class votes in Midwestern swing states.

Garcetti doesn't seem to realize that he's the West Coast's version of Jeb Bush. Good luck with that, Eric...

Anybody excited to vote for Garcetti 2020?

He's part of an "impatient next generation" !

--
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti says he's considering a possible run for president in 2020 after announcing he would not seek a run for the governor's seat in California, according to an interview with the New York Times.

Garcetti told the Times he considers himself a part of an "impatient next generation" as Democrats weigh who will lead the beleaguered party in the next presidential election. He described his party as being as "weak as he could remember."

"The classic rules of American politics are dying, if not dead, if you look at the last two presidential elections," Garcetti said. "An African-American could never be president until one was, a TV reality star couldn't become president until one was."

"There's definitely an impatient next generation ready to move," he added.

While Garcetti, 46, proves to be a potential contender for the party's next nominee, winning his mayoral re-election with 81 percent of the vote, he says he considers himself "progressive and practical."

"I'm proud to be a Democrat — but I don't walk around with a 'D' on my forehead," he said.

Who is the African-American President Garcetti's referring to?

I think before Garcetti even thinks about running for president, he should take a real hard look at the city problems, and his dereliction of duty to fix the problem.

He is a disgrace to this city.

Remember this, should he ever try to win a nomination for anything, and you are on the fence as to if you should vote for him.

Bob.
Since hardly anyone votes he has no accountability to try to do his job.
