So we now learn that Arnold Schwarzenegger has
endorsed John Kasich for president. This
rather undermines Arnold’s reputation as a manly-man by his endorsement of the
wussiest candidate in the Republican stable.
What a strange political period we live in. John
Kasich is the candidate who refuses to argue issues face-to-face with the other
candidates, nor will he address possibly divisive issues in debates when the
moderator specifically presents the occasion to do so to him. He’s the
adult-in-the-room who at every turn reminds us that he is the revolutionary
governor of Ohio who has done marvelous and wondrous things by reaching across
the aisle, which is exactly what conservatives don’t want to happen any longer.
Conservatives in the United States are voting to
demonstrate that they are sick of Kasich-like milque-toast candidates who call
themselves Republicans, and the Republican establishment had better begin
listening to its base.
Poor Arnold! He no longer gets good movies to star in,
is looking rather old, and now supports the candidate for president who is in
dead last place among his candidate peers.
And Mitt Romney, whom I fully supported and voted for
in the 2012 election, can shut up and just go away with his abuse of the 2016
Republican candidates. Mitt is a great
man, but he’s a political loser and needs to keep silent from now on.
