by Justin Baragona | 12:13 pm, March 24th, 2018
In the past, action superstar and former Republican Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger had said that that the GOP had a problem at the box office. During a conversation with CNNs Michael Smerconish, the Terminator star expanded on those comments while stating that he feels the party is sinking.
Well you know I told the Republican party at the Republican convention, it was like 10 years ago that they were dying at the box office, he told Smerconish. The reason why I said it was because their policies were such that they were not really including everybody.
He went on to say the GOP is losing women voters because they dont address issues like the environment, education and health care. The actor added that he has tried to tell the party that it is killing the GOP to be so anti-health care.
Since then the party has decreased and now has only a 26 percent popularity overall and so it is dying and I see it like the Titanic, he noted. The only thing is that we dont have to go under completely. We dont have to wait for that moment. Lets change and lets go and be more open and go back to this kind of like big tent idea of Ronald Reagan.

Between your fiscal incompetence and personal history of sexual misconduct you fit right in.
Ronald Reagan and the big tent idea????? What's Ahnold been smoking lately?
Ronald Reagan and his henchman were the beginning of the end if you ask me.
