At least we know where Arnie’s brains are? He’s worthless, IMO, as are all the RATS in CA and the gutless GOP.

Unpopular with WHOM?

My opinion/vote is worthless for I do NOT live in California.

I used to like him a lot, but consider him a sleazy, shady character now. I wonder if the fruits and nuts in Calif. would actually vote him back into office?

If Ah-nold challenged DiFi as a Dim, he might win that way.

He is not the fighter Trump is. He campaigned conservative, but folded without a fight. He never really tried to “blow up the boxes”

Thank you. I did NOT know that. I do recall seeing him on Johnny Carson and he was incredibly well-spoken. Very intelligent guy.

“Unpopular” is putting it mildly. He was a lousy Governor.

As far as I can remember, he didn’t do a whole lot for CA; and his wife was ultra-liberal .. and he allowed her to color everything he did .. to fit the ultra-liberal mode.

CALIFORNIA NEEDS A CONSERVATIVE GOVERNOR WHO IS NOT COWARDLY; AND DOESN’T HAVE A LIBERAL WIFE RUNNING THINGS.

Go back to Austria.

This ‘tard has the nerve to say that “independent redistricting” is working out great.

Yep, he made redistricting reform a centerpiece of his administration and it's one of his few "accomplishments", but only in the sense that it accomplished wonders for the California RATs.

Another thing, during his last week in office, he pardoned California House Speaker Fabian Nuñez's little scumbag kid of murder, presumably since he figured he was leaving politics for good and wouldn't have to suffer repercussions for it.

Hindsight is 20/20, isn't it, Ahnuld?

"Yes. Support CA secession"

It would not happen, not now or in the near future.

Still far too many rock ribbed conservative 2nd Amendment practicing, ranchers, farmers and dairymen (among others) in the central valley, the Sierra's & northern ca. They would go to war first than allow a socialist takeover of their lands and their businesses.

I’m talking about cutting loose the areas that are 55-60% leftist or higher, not the Republican or marginal areas of CA.

You’re right, but he should have vowed, during the lead-up to the election in which his reforms were rejected, to resign immediately if the reforms did not pass. He should have rightly said that the reforms were his sole reason for running, and that, if the voters rejected the reforms, they rejected him as governor. Let it burn.

Well, California IS reaping the whirlwind that they created and fed.

I feel badly for the "normal" Californians who suffer because of the politician's idiocy.

I'm floored that CA passed the "top two" vote getters in the primaries to run for Senate.

So you'll be stuck with who can out-liberal each other.

EVERYONE loses under that system.

That would have been the honorable thing to do. He’s a Rino.
