SACRAMENTO — San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer has quietly started discussing a potential run for governor with advisers and prospective donors, according to a former Los Angeles mayor and sources familiar with Faulconer’s deliberations.
Faulconer, a Republican who said last year that he would not seek the governorship, remains hesitant, the sources said. But he is tentatively assessing how supportive GOP donors might be in a race that is widely expected to be won by a Democrat.

Got confirmation that Mayor Faulconer won’t attend Trump inauguration. Will this hurt his political future — or help it?

Thousands of elected officials throughout the nation aren’t going, as they simply never planned to attend. That’s different than a boycott.
I am not attending but I promise you that I will be celebrating this:
SPLIT SCREEN (HRC on Left and DJT on right):
ANNOUNCER: Here you see the two candidates, in a remarkable display of a peaceful transition of power, standing on the same stage as President-Elect Donald J. Trump, takes the Oath of Office.
SCREEN ZOOMS IN on Trump and CJSCOTUS
DJT: I, Donald J Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God.
(audience claps) President Trump kisses FLOTUS, hugs kids, shakes President Obama’s hand, turns to podium to give Inaugural address.
SPLIT SCREEN on HRC and DJT. HRC makes sour looking face.
At that moment, I will dance a little jig around the office, overjoyed not that Trump is President but that a corrupt, political hack isn’t. I will breath a sigh of relief, knowing that while the next 8 years might be a carnival, the rule of law still stands in the Republic.
