I am serious! He is the most electable conservative in the race. The other dude is a social conservative with megalogmanic and messianic complexes. There is noway California will vote for a x-treme conservative which they perceive as a neo-nationalist tyrannical wonk.

"I am serious! He is the most electable conservative in the race."
You are very confused. An argument might be made that he is the most electable "Republican" in the race. But no logical or factual argument can be made that he is a conservative. Therefore, he cannot be the most electable conservative in the race.
If you claim Arnold is a conservative, you really have no idea what conservatism is. He is for big gov't (by his own statements and campaigning in the past for bigger gov't programs); he is for gun-control; he is for abortion; he is for gay adoption; he is not for cutting back benefits to illegal immigrants; he has refused to state he won't raise taxes (Much like pete wilson, his mentor, who said the exact same thing, then immediately raised taxes due to a "fiscal crisis); won't talk about what, if any, spending he will cut; has many liberal advisors, including Warren Buffet and Robert Kennedy Jr.; won't debate; fully supports affirmative action.
How on earth can you even begin to say he is conservative in any way, shape, or manner. You might be able to argue that he is the lesser of two evils (Cruz or Arnold), but that is the best you could do.
