    If you hear Arnold on various podcasts, his ideas in general are pretty meathead.

    He talked about solving the lack of a House speaker by “Locking everyone in a room with no bathroom until they have a solution.”

    His solution for his child forgetting to turn off a light was to “Throw the mattress out of the window into the pool.”

    This is a dude who has more experience banging his fists demanding things than actually leading. Where I think he’ll do some progressive things, just like Reagan, he’ll do some thing that sounds good on paper but not at all researched and then fuck over the country for decades after their death.

      Yeah, in the recent podcast with Rob Lowe there was a lot of “industry good, government bad” with an extra helping of “both sides are the same”. He was also praising Reagan several times. Arnie is a conservative boomer through and through.
