It's keeping Ahnold from becoming President and that's good enough for me.

Yeah I am sure that was all that was standing in his way.

There was one point in time when Ahnold would have been a top republican contender.

Hell even now - look at how the GOP is flocking to a B-grade celebrity like Trump.  Imagine what an A-lister like Arnold would do (and his personal life is no more or less complicated than Trumps is).

Sure but then he got elected to a position and developed experience and a record. Suicide for a Republican candidate these days :P

But seriously he is waaay too moderate to be a national Republican figure.

You sure about that?  Trump has embraced universal healthcare in the past and it doesn't seem to be hurting him.

As sure as I can be without seeing it actually happen.

CNN says Cruz is leading now in Iowa.

That would be an ironic way to win my bet.

He's been leading in Iowa for a while.

A Cruz win in Iowa and a Trump win in New Hampshire would be a nightmare for the GOP establishment.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Not really.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

:hmm: In what way?  Did you expect Rubio to win it?

I thought people would rally around the sane candidate most likely to stop Trump.

Eddie Teach

Instead, they're rallying around the "true conservative" to beat Trump.

I won't be bothered if Cruz wins Iowa.  Iowa's job is to cull also-rans, not annoint winners, which it sucks at.

While I am not a Trump fan (or a fan of anybody, really), I actually think he would be far better than Cruz.

That's like saying that having AIDS is better than having Ebola.
