Former LA mayor and state Assembly speaker Antonio Villaraigosa hasn’t run the most electrifying campaign for governor. But he has been doing an admirable job in recent weeks of highlighting the most important reality in this campaign: California can’t blame Donald Trump for its problems.

He won’t win because he’s not corrupt enough.
Yep, he’s got no shot.
He won’t win because he spoke the truth and that is unforgivable sin to a Democrat..................

“We can’t put ANYTHING on Donald Trump,”
No no, folks; Villaraigosa’s got evil to spare. He was the first to declare his a “sanctuary city” and direct L.A.’s law enforcers to withhold all cooperation with federal authorities trying to arrest and deport illegals.
He was a big promoter of “Reconquista” for his LaRaza compadres, maintaining that California was wrongfully stolen from Mexico. Did I mention he was a socialist?
If elected he’d only accelerate California’s ruination.
Tony villar is his real name
Speaking facts in California is no way to get elected.
