"He tried for a year or so, gave up against the entrenched interests, and folded."

In his defense, he KNEW that the state needed entitlement reform.

His big four proposals were defeated by the UNIONS, who spent untold millions to defeat them.

He tried to inject some sense into that state, but they would have none of it.

So in retrospect, Arnold was correct.

The public sector clods and parasites won their battle, but look at what a disaster their "victory" has caused.

Sure, he folded.

How could anyone stand up to that onslaught?

The leftists have virtually limitless funds in 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.
