"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it." Arnold caved completely. Bush caved 70%. The result was that largely Democrat policies were blamed on Republicans, and that took down the State of California, a Republican Congress and the Presidency.
RINOs suck. Got it?
Arnold did absolutely everything he could to keep down-ticket conservatives such as Tom McClintock from winning State-wide offices. How is that "big tent Republicanism"? He lied about budgets, he lied about government growth, he regulated his own base into leaving the State, and he fed his "bipartisan" corporate cronies (you know, the guys who pay for campaign consultants) until the State was in bankruptcy.
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals of our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan
IMHO, you are a lying and dishonest Party shill terrified that your sleazy lying candidate is somehow unappreciated here. You have NOTHING innovative to say.
