If Arnold really was/is better than Bustamante (which I am not convinced) then one has to ask: how can it possibly be worse??
That state is going down the tubes with the GOP at the helm. Big mistake.
I was sucked in by Arnold’s celebrity in 2003. I now regret it (in fact long ago). The man has been an epic failure and been so since at least his failed 2005 special election.
Their silence is telling.
Could Bustamante have pulled that one off? NOPE!
So, if the measure is who could have advanced the liberal agenda more, I give it to Arnold. Bustamante, being unpopular even in his own party, could never have "accomplished" the things Arnold did.
