Mayor Garcetti is Jewish-Mexican

I don't care for Garcetti. I think he spends too much time appeasing the majority and forgets there are others that count too. If that makes sense. He is full on Liberal which I don't hold against him I just wish he were a little in the middle.

I would love to see Kimberly Guilfoyle run for mayor. Hope I spelled her name correctly. I think she would make a great mayor. In fact, I think I will send her an email or Twitter her, and tell her to think about this.

Although he seems like the type that could shift his positions for the right job and pander to the audience.

What's funny though is that he's pandering hard now to those that didn't even vote for him.
Unless illegals do vote .
Of course the goal is to gain future loyalty im sure he was counting on Hillary to make all the illegals legal and become Dem voters .
Beverly Hills voted overwhelmingly for Hillary as expected except for one precinct. The closest cities to anywhere near central L.A. which voted for Trump were Palos Verdes,Santa Clarita and Glendora.

White.
A lot of white people born in L.A. have a Latino grandparent or two and a lot of white people in L.A. are Jewish.
More importantly, there is no ethnic group in Los Angeles which has a majority who have experienced anything like the upbringing of Eric Garcetti, which had virtually no relation to the lives of the overwhelming, overwhelming majority of the city's inhabitants.

The only good thing about Garcetti is term limits.

Garcetti is a quarter Mexican at best. His mom is Jewish and his dad is Mexican and Italian, hence the name Garcetti. As far as what's to like, I think he's easy on the eyes. That's about it.
