Good. I urge Schitzzener to run for the Senate. I will enjoy watching the Democrats tear him apart limb by limb. The TV commercials about the maid he was boinking and with whom he sired his spitting image will be good. Bring on the clowns.

I was a child in California when Ronald Reagan was governor. It was a veritable paradise.

He talked a good game at the onset. But he was a useless politician. His big game to fame was the recall election to remove Grey Davis.

Still love his movies.

He FAILED as Governor of Calif.

He FAILED as Trump's replacement on the Apprentice.

He's too old to be an action movie star.

He screwed the maid 4 years ago and now has an illegitimate child.

He failed to attend his 17 year old illegitimate son's high school graduation.

Now, he's going to run for the Senate?

What a TOTAL A$$HOLE.

He wasn’t. We had the Doles, the Snows, the McCains...

He was a lousy governor. He did a number of things I wish he hadn’t, and very little I had wanted him to.

Was that better than the Left would have done? Undoubtedly.

He was essentially George Bush in California.

We must never forget that Mister Schwarzenegger essentially pardoned a gang member (IIRC) convicted of murder.

This particular gang member happens to be (again, IIRC) the son of then Democrat Cali House speaker Nunez.

There was no rational reason to let the murdering gangster out of jail.

This unforgivable, conspicuously corrupt "middle finger" to California law, public safety, and public trust must and will follow Mister Schwarzenegger forever.

In his own screen dialog, "hasta la vista" (politically speaking).

yeah, compared to now it was darn near the garden of Eden.

then again, the same could be said for other parts of the country.

I’d prolly vote for him just for the entertainment value.

No way that we’d be able to pull off anything resembling conservative in California. Might as well have a giggle from it.

This clown must be suffering from a severe psychotic disorder, I doubt he could get elected as Dog Sitter in Santa Monica.

Yes, but word is he gave his all to the staff.

Including his staff.

I live in California and refuse to vote for him because he is an elitist that only cares about those within his own social class. before leaving office he pardoned a unrepentant murder and when asked why his answer was that he is the son of a close family friend as if that was a good enough reason. he is a democrat masquerading as a republican.

Schwarzenegger was a terrible governor and will make an equally terrible senator. He also doesn't have a prayer of winning as even the squishiest Republican he is. Not against several high profile Dems in a state he helped turn so far Left it no longer has a right side.

California was my home for 40 years before I moved to NC two years ago. I will always love the state, but the politicians there have ruined it so bad I think it will never recover.

My teachers were dedicated to teaching. Very little crime. Women were feminine and men weren’t. Nearly every home had a mother and father. New homes in the $18,000 range.

“The Running Man” was an amusing movie — even with the Bolshevik allusion at the beginning of the movie; i.e., Schwarzenegger refuses to fire upon food rioters as what happened in 1917 with the Czar’s gendarmes and food rioters then). “The Running Man” movie was produced by either “Starsky” or “Hutch” and the person directing it had Communist parents.

As much as we all would like for there to be a Conservative Senator from CA...If the choice is going to be between dianne feinstein or kamala harris and arnold schwarzenegger the choice should be clear.

It seems to me Ahnold is preempting a bid by a real conservative -- or at least someone conservative enough to win in CA. The RINOnator is counting on exactly the scenario you suggest. He plans to suck up money and support early.

Schwarzenegger actually DID what Billy Bush and Trump were fooling around about on that tape. He is also an anti-gun left-wing, pro-illegal alien loooooooooser.

I wouldn’t vote for this POS for dogcatcher.

He is as good as we can get. If he’s lucky enough to win perhaps he will do a profile in courage or 2 when it comes to tax relief.

The same way Trump is folding now and giving up HIS power to the LYIN RYAN??? Once Trump gives this power to LYIN RYAN he will find that his WHOLE agenda will be only a VERY SMALL portion of what he truly wanted such as tax cuts!!!
