Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks at California fundraiser for Ohio Gov. John Kasich
Cleveland.com ^ | 11-1-15 | Henry Gomez

Arnold Schwarzenegger helped Ohio Gov. John Kasich raise money for his presidential campaign at a Friday event in the Los Angeles area.

The actor and former California governor heaped praise on Kasich without making a direct endorsement, people in the room told cleveland.com.

Schwarzenegger told the crowd at the Montage Beverly Hills that Kasich "believes like I do in being a public servant not a party servant," according to one source.

Schwarzenegger also said that Kasich is the only one making sense at the presidential debates and that he knew Kasich would make a great governor and knows he would make the best president, the source said.

Kasich, who stayed out West to raise money after Wednesday's debate in Colorado, has been friends with Schwarzenegger, a fellow Republican, for years.

Last year, he hosted the "Terminator" star in Columbus for the relocation of a huge Schwarzenegger statue that commemorates the city's annual Arnold Sports Festival. And the two lunched last May during a previous Kasich visit to California.

"Listen, he's a pal. He's just been a great friend of mine," Kasich said at last year's ceremony in the state capital. "Arnold is a worldwide phenomenon. It's just the way it is. There are not many people like him on the face of the Earth."

Schwarzenegger is the new host of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" -- a job once held by GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump, with whom Kasich sparred this week. Though Schwarzenegger did not offer an official endorsement, helping raise money is arguably a bigger favor for Kasich, who is looking to gain traction in a crowded GOP field. National polls show the Ohio governor in the low single digits, though he rates higher in New Hampshire, the critical first primary state.

Kasich will get more celebrity exposure the next week. He has booked a Nov. 6 appearance on CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

Maybe Arnold can help John the way Oprah helped Obama.

The only conceivable role for Kasich would be a VP slot to try and carry Ohio...worthy of serious consideration.

That’s like booking passage on the Titanic at 1:00 am on April 15, 1912.

Arnold holds some kind of annual event in Columbus every year. That’s the connection.

Contemplation not worthy of ONE brain cell.

Kasich is a narcissistic snake who will steamroller people just to get his way. Just ask the Republican majority Ohio legislature about how he overrode them to expand Obama’s Medicaid in our state.

And he’s trying to increase the petroleum extraction tax, right now.
This action would drive the fledgling fracking industry to other states.

In 1994, U.S. Congressman John Kasich voted FOR Bill Clinton’s “assault weapons ban.”

Do you listen to Mark Levin? He can’t stand Kasich and rips him to shreds at least twice a week.

Kasich is no Conservative.

Thanks, Arnold. My determination to NOT vote for Kasich has just been solidified like granite.

He’s not a threat, he has to keep knocking out half-breeds with his maid!

Kasich is an out of touch, RINO, idiot. He has no clue what a conservative is. Time for him to get out. I think the guy has a mental disorder. He's a stinkin politician.
