I’m going to take a moment to remind everyone of the recall election of Gov Gray Davis in CA...
There was a principled conservative ready to take the reins of government with a statewide base of support. His name was Tom McLintock. The GOPe said that he couldn’t win statewide and Dem Lt Gov Bustamante would win if Tom was the candidate. They recruited Arnold SchwarzenKennedy for his star power. The actual election returns had Bustamante come in third behind Arnold and Tom. The principled conservative would have won... but he was undermined by the bright, shiny thing danged by the GOPe. We know how that turned out.
Now we have Trump. Conservatives were excited about Cruz until Trump came along and said the things they wanted to hear. No one would listen to naysayers and they allowed the principled conservative to be slimed beyond reason for simply running a campaign to win according to the rules. Now that Trump seems inevitable, he is moving to the “middle” RINO position. Let’s see if there were be buyer’s remorse before it’s too late.
We’re about to have a presidential election where your choices are two New Yorkers. Like New York values? You’re going to get them one way or another.
GREAT post and so correct.
Nice try, and you might be able to sell that revisionist history crap to Freepers who don’t live in California
Arnold Schwarzenegger was THE CHOICE of the California GOP Establishment, headed by New Majority in particular, and not the grassroots.
The same oily hacks like Hewitt and Medved who led the charge against Tom McClintock have been trying to do the same to Trump, only this time it doesn’t work.
But keep doing the GOPe’s dirty work, they need the help.
