From Mayor to President?

Obviously Gulliani tried it here recently. And I think they reference Cleveland Grover as the last president to do so

Obama was a senator.

It's definitely possible. The biggest thing is name recognition. How much does Garcetti have? Obama was known after his 2004 DNC speech. Trump was known since the '80's.
 
It would be difficult for a no-name (that's not a disparaging remark, just but few people know about a mayor outside of their city) but if he feels up to it I'd encourage him, I'd listen to what he has to say.

What is the reason you neglected to mention that Obama spent 13 years collectively as an Illinois State Senator and a United States Senator before his election as President?

I don't think you are ignorant of these facts, so there must be a reason you neglected them.
 
The problem with Garcetti is that he's way too liberal and that LA sucks as a city.

Rudy was too liberal for his party at that time but he had a great track record.

And he should have been elected in 2000.

Because he started out as a community organizer. When he was nominated for state Senator he had no political experience.

He was an inexperienced twit who even admitted it once; his only honest moment in office:

Here's the dunce claiming there are 60 states; that alone should have disqualified him. But leftist morons think Trump is the problem. :rofl2:

Or any experience running anything more than an office; but liberal dimwits are morons to think that they can whine and bitch about "experience" after electing this idiot twice. :rofl2:

people are rushing to run against trump because he has been portrayed as a terrible candidate only winning because of the electoral college. In reality he ran one of the best campaigns in history with every istitutional advantage with the democrats.

Last time trump had half the money of hillary clinton elder republican statesmen prepping for a clinton win and a spoiler candidate ran by his own party in mcmullin.

It is unlikely that these things will happen next time around.

read what i said again. All I said is he will not have a spoiler 5th candidate running in mcmullin, a quarter to half the funds of his opponent, and major republicans blocking him.

he would be running in the same starting position as mccain or romney and not 10 steps behind with the upper echelons of the party working to sabotage him.

where did I say victory is guaranteed?

To channel evince. quote please.
 
btw another missed lesson is that Trump is that the republican party was unified behind Trump so he has hit his ceiling. That is demonstrably false.

I will cite pennsylvania but this is applicable everywhere. If you look at voting data there are parts of the state where Trump did extremely well but Toomey barely won whereas there are other parts of the state where Toomey won but Trump lost by a small margin.

The conclusion I draw from this is there were voters who are sympathetic to Republicans but did not turn out beforehand. It took the nationalist policies of Trump to bring them out. Whereas there were regular Republican voters who are ready to vote for Toomey but did not like Trump. All the GOP stategists will have to do is find a way to marry the two and you already have a battle plan.

A lot of these voters in the second category did not trust Trump to pick supreme court justices. I guarantee you all of Trumps picks will be close to gorsuch. Mainly because Trump could care less about the supreme court and is using the picks as bargaining chips to the congress and senate so they are really the ones picking.
