Looking at the Trumpsters of today, I am reminded of the rabid Schwarzenegger supporters of yesteryear. Not caring about conservatism, not giving a damn about principles, not caring one bit about anything but winning. Perhaps a few of a Schwarzeneggerites would like to comment about how all of that worked out.
Yeah, I know. Shots fired. Don’t care.
I reject the premise of your hypothetical matchup.
No true Scotsman

Just what we need, another divisive vanity post.
He vasn’t running against Hillary. Its not about Trump its about keeping a felon out.
You mad bro?
#President Trump!!!
The Californians would have been better off electing the bleached blond porn princess.
Now the American voters can elect a guy much, much worse and we get Eddie Munster as well as the Great Pumpkin and the Great Bumpkin.
Welcome to Silly Season.
Bustamonte, blech. And we got rid of Gray Davis too.

Difference is, Trump actually has a detailed conservative platform: Strict border control and expel people here illegally. He says it again and again and again.
Are you saying that’s not a “conservative” policy? The truth is, unless we get a handle on immigration, the Republican Party is dead. The whole country will be like California, a one-party Democrat state.
Went fairly well, till he got blackmailed.
Then he caved.
Wasn’t Schwarzenegger born elsewhere?
I’m not rabid.
Are you?
How do you reconcile that with your viewpoint that it's about beating Hillary? Crossover voting has been occurring in all ‘open’ states and yet he's failed time and time again to break 50%. With many, like me, unable to reconcile our conscience with a vote for trump and thereby electing to write in rather than voting for him, the numbers needed to beat Hillary are unlikely.
By the way calling the never trump crowd names and hurling insults only hardens our resolve.
