Let's remove the requirement and make Arnold POTUS

Elon.

Like Predator Arnold or Expendables Arnold?

Predator Arnold, LOL.

He was a terrible politician, IMO. Prior to taking office he was a Milton Friedman Republican. He compromised way too much, but I chalk some of that up to CA being a huge cluster ****. Special interests run that state as much as the federal government, if not moreso.

Nice segue. You are right. Should be good for a few points.

Its hard to pick one, because its more an amalgamation that works for me. I would say this:

I like what I perceive to be the "let's not get bogged down in gay marriage or abortion" approaches of Christie, Kasich, and I am guessing Rubio. Even Trump would be dismissive of all of that nonsense.

I am actually more of a hardliner than you think when it comes to military confrontations, and think we should be more aggressive with ISIS, and even more tolerant of collateral damage than we have been. On the other hand, the notion of 100,000 troops on the ground a la Graham makes me want to vomit. And we need someone steady at the helm, not likely to fly off the handle, and that worries me when it comes to Trump or Rubio.

I think Trump is capable.... but not in a setting that moves at glacial speed, like big change in US policy or governance. We all complain about how slow it is to react. But most of the time I feel like that might not be a bad thing.

I think Rubio and Cruz are both very smart. They'd both be okay I'm sure like 90 % of the time. I worry that Cruz would go all religious on things, and even when he doesn't his intransigence and antagonism is worrisome to me, when we have a government that has been at loggerheads for 6 years.

Kasich I of course view as non threatening. He's amiable. Smart. Not an ideologue. But damnit, every time they have one of these debates and I get my hopes up that he'll get it together and get over the fray and make some sense, he just can't seem to make a coherent point.

He's much more likely in my opinion to end up someone's VP pick, if for no other reason than Ohio.

I've given up predicting who actually wins it. Seems like what is happening is that Cruz wants to win Iowa, straight up, and so he took on Trump. And Trump has nuked him with eligibility and New York, New York.

The rest of them in contention recognize that after Iowa and New Hampshire, if they can be the clear second place guy, then ALL of the establishment money is coming their way to take on Trump. So that's why Rubio and Cruz are really going at it, and Kasich and Christie are drafting in behind them, hoping those two tangle up and they can shoot right by them to go heads up with Trump.

OK, who hacked the troll's profile?

gave..... you... a.... like.... :thud:

Kindergarten Cop Arnold. The president has to deal with mental 5 year olds every day in Congress. More fitting.

Edit: damn. I am in sync with LG this morning. more coffee.

CA needs a smart dictator. It is, was and always be a cluster ****.


But at least SFO doesn't have a homeless problem because of all the pelosibama handouts.

 

[volfanhill]

Yea LOL. Considering Republicans have been dominating local elections since and the Dem presidential bench is so weak, I'd say his presidency has been pretty weak.

0bama doesn't even want to endorse a candidate and nobody wants him to campaign with him. That's an LOL

Nobody wants an endorsement from a two term President. The last one anyone wanted was over a quarter century ago.
