Did anybody watch Arnold on CNN last night?

Last edited Thu Apr 6, 2017, 10:25 AM - Edit history (5)

Arnold was Arnold. He didn't vote for Trump. That was enough.

The first question was from a Deplorable in Los Angeles who was commiserating about the fact her pro Trump rallies in Hollywood don't go well. What did she expect? Hosannas ? If she wants kudos for her pro Trump rallies she should hold them in Boise or Oklahoma City or Abilene.

She said her and her protesters were spit upon. If that happened it was wrong, very wrong, but you get to make your message, you don't get to determine how people accept it.

Margaret Dickson is the lead plaintiff in Dickson v Richie, one of the main redistricting lawsuits from NC in the US Courts. She spoke to the problems in NC. Arnold is for independent commissions for redistricting.

..that despite California having the most regulations and restrictions in the country, its still outperforming the rest of the country.

And the other, it doesn't matter if you don't believe in global warming. Because either way, pollution can kill you.

Pro choice
Pro GLBTQ rights
Pro universal heath care
Pro after school programs
Pro environment

He is of the misguided belief we oppose individual initiative. We want to create an environment where everybody can realize their potential.

Same kind of stupid voters that elected tRump elected Ah-nold...twice! One guy I knew said he voted for him because he thought it would be cool to have Ah-nold's signature/autograph on his driver's license...except that the gov's signature doesn't appear on CA licenses.
