Pay higher taxes. Watch Rachel Maddow. Colonoscopy. See Trump naked.
These are things on the list of stuff I would rather do than have Arnold Schwarzenegger as a US Senator.
It was reported today in Politico that the Former-Governor of the Golden State is being considered as a viable candidate to run for Senate for the projected-vacant seat of Dianne Feinstein. Feinstein will be 38,324 years old in 2018 (kidding, she will be 85), is expected to retire. With Trump in the White House, no democrat is looking forward to the prospect of sitting in a minority party seat in the Senate.
“Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger — the “Terminator” action hero who made “I’ll be back” one of filmdom’s most iconic phrases — may be mulling a political comeback, according to several GOP political insiders in California.
The prospect of Schwarzenegger’s return to elected politics in a 2018 U.S. Senate run — possibly as an independent — is generating increasing buzz in state Republican circles, fueled by the former governor’s seeming ability to get under the skin of President Donald Trump on social media.
The president’s caustic tweets about Schwarzenegger, the recent host of “Celebrity Apprentice,” and their running feud has sparked talk that the intensely competitive Schwarzenegger — a seven-time Mr. Olympia world bodybuilding champ — may be interested in more than merely a verbal posedown with Trump.” I myself, am not a fan of Trump, but the old “enemy of my enemy is my friend” saying definitely doesn’t apply here. Schwarzenegger was a disaster of a Governor. He destroyed the Republican Party on his way out the door. He landed us with AB 32 (Global Warming bill), Prop 14 (Top Two Primary – eliminating GOP candidates from contention for several races), and played political favors with the father of a murderer in arranging for the commuting of his sentence.
He saddled us with debt and higher deficits, raised our taxes, and gave us the political atmosphere that has given us Jerry “Coo Coo for Choo Choo” Brown, Gavin “Douche-om” Newsom, and Kevin “Shut up Woman” De Leon. Not only is what he’s done to the state unforgivable, he’s been unapologetic about it.
Arnold… Get to the Choppa. You’re not wanted here. We hope we don’t see you at the party, Richter. Consider this the Divorce. You’re Fired. We won’t “Chill”. Hasta La Vista. Don’t Be Back.
This idea needs to be terminated. Hasta la vista, baby.
I hear you, but California has become so liberal, so Democrat, that the alternative will be just another liberal Democrat.
Well, this sounds absolutely horrible.
I didn’t like him as Governor candidate back in the recall either.
Yet, he could beat a Democrat if anyone can.
I still think he’d be better than any California Democrat.
Will his mistress vote for him?
At least he is a Republican, even if only a RINO. It’s important that we keep the majority. Think of judicial appointments.
“he’d be better than any California Democrat.”
Bingo.
He should run.
He is a rino goper uniparty politician.
Gonad the Vulgarian is way past his “use by” date.
I think he’s come to realize that the movie offerings are marginal and he’s not making the income that he did from twenty years ago. The thing is that he has name recognition. At this point, I think even Tom Cruise could run and likely win in California....strictly off his name.
Says nobody in California - gray Davis cold beat him. Arnold is a washed up joke
Sadly, he’s about as far right as one can be and still have a realistic chance of winning a statewide race in California.

We need a like button here. That is the post of the month
Not to worry. The Dems apparently have 3 million + illegal voters on the California roles so Ah-nold’s not getting elected again.
He will be the stepping stone for a proper replacement in the GOP.
I say we support him and get his replacement lined up.
between his old movies, his naked homosexual porno pictures, and his cheating on his wife behind her back (with their housekeeper, child available for interview I think).... this guy could be a “natural” to become a US senator from Californication
Because he did such a bang up job as governor?
Another person found out that being a politician in any form is an easy way for money in their coffers.
Schwarzenegger has lived an amazing life, but his 3ed act has been a long running disaster for him and us. I think it’s time he goes back to Austria.
Another Franken.
Can’t be any worse than Kamala Harris
