Schwarzenegger: Rich Donors Should ‘Starve’ the GOP into Becoming Liberal
Breitbart ^ | 3/22/2018

Posted on 03/22/2018 5:07:22 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said Wednesday that wealthy donors should “starve” the Republican Party of funds until it moves in the liberal ideological direction that he, and they, desire. The Fresno Bee reports:

“The people that are funding the Republican Party should turn off their financial support, because that would starve the party, and I think they would then maybe come to their senses,” Schwarzenegger told a crowd at the launch event for his centrist Republican advocacy group New Way California. “You better go and lead and tell your people around you that we’ve got to change, because that’s what California demands, or there will be no more money.”

Schwarzenegger, California’s highest-profile Republican figure and one of the last to win statewide office in 2006, is part of a nascent movement to reshape and broaden the appealof a political party that now makes up just a quarter of registered voters here. During his speech at a community center in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, he took a victory lap for predicting his party’s demise in an infamous 2007 speech where he said the California GOP was “dying at the box office.”

Schwarzenegger was joined by Ohio Governor John Kasich, who lost to President Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary and then stayed away from his party’s national convention, even though it was held in Cleveland.

He was also joined by former Republican State Assembly leader Chad Mayes (R-Yucca Valley), who was forced out last year after supporting Gov. Jerry Brown and the Democrats in renewing the state’s controversial cap-and-trade program.

Steroids finally got to his brain, the swelling should kill him soon.

The dangers of performance-enhancing steroids are often not evident until years after the one who takes them stops using them. When it comes to intelligence Arnold did not start with a lot to begin with. Now he’s just embarrassing. Another Hollywood celebrity whose mental abilities are even lower than their acting abilities.

I would say in reply if I want a liberal, I’ll vote Democrat.

Exactly what they do in California. The only difference RINOs have with Democrats is they won’t raise taxes.

Some difference.

He was hilarious.. Pretended to be a Republican. No real Republican could stand to be with a Kennedy.

If he wants to be a liberal, he can join the Democratic Party.

Leave the GOP the hell alone.

He’s Austrian. The Austrians loved the Anschluss and the socialism it embraced.

I still remember his first campaign for governor, where he talked about coming from a Socialist country and seeing first hand how government regulation didn’t work, and him praising the free market. I guess it was just lies to get elected. That shouldn’t surprise anyone, I guess.

Like many other people, Arnold Schwarzenegger may be a member of the Republican Party, but he is not a republican.

Why is Arnold complaining?
The liberal GOP gave the Rats everything they wanted
in the coming omnibus bill.

I hope Trump veto’s it.

He may be a Republican but he isn’t a conservative.

Nor are the turncoat squishes who back his sought-after liberal takeover of the GOP.

And pray tell, what’s a centrist?

Not in CA where they control every statewide office and have a supermajority in the legislature.

The way to beat them is not to become like them.

“.....it was just lies to get elected. That shouldn’t surprise anyone.........’

It’s what politicians do, plain and simple. Exactly what the media does, “tell them what YOU want them to hear”. Works every time.
