My Conversation with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is one of the rising stars in the Democratic party. He's the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles in recent history and he also serves as a co-chairman to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

He discusses the state of the Clinton campaign after her losses in Wisconsin and Hawaii. He also discussed the dilemma that immigration reform poses to politicians across the country.

Dear Mr. Rose,

Tonights program with Samantha Powers, and Her book "Chasing The Flame" was an outstanding interview. Agape.

Villaraigosa backed two losers: Clinton and Identity Politics.

Antonio Reconquesta wants California to become part of Mexico. This man is a lot like Bill Clinton. I can see why Hillary wanted him on board her campaign. LOL Antonio would love to give all ILLEGAL ALIENS a driver's license and the right to vote. That would be the only way he will stay in office.

So was Henry Cisneros.

A.V. > merely another dumbshit civic center pol taking advantage of L.A. metro demographics. Hardly a Tom Bradley or even a Jimmy Hahn.

Didn't even back the winning candidate. Don't make the same mistake!

Going from being Speaker of the California State Assembly to being a beleaguered Mayor of Los Angeles is one of the most unusual definitions of "rising star" that I've ever heard. He's never again going to be elected to any office beyond the local level. Hillary would be much better off if Villaraigosa went to work for Obama.

Did you ask Hillary's campaign co-chair about the money he received from Tony Rezko?

Don't you read the LA papers? This Don Juan, (real name Tony Villar) is political toast. Does he still have to wear long sleeves to cover up his gang tattoos?
