IMO, California (and the rest of the country) needs more independent voters.

TL;DR America needs more independent voters
At the current rate of unlimited stupidity on the left coast, California doesn't have 10 years and no, I don't believe you can compare Arnold with Renaldo Maximus. Who knows what Ronnie would do with California as it sits today but history suggest he would have done some things differently than Arnold did, and perhaps with better results. But, I'm not one to "what if" so I'd just feel more comfortable if Jerry Brown had a conservative epiphany and started enacting measures that promoted small, medium and large business, and targetted corrupt public employee unions instead of promoting a would-be Progressive/Socialist/Marxist utopia which history proves can never succeed......figure the odds though.

IMHO, we need far less independents and more people who know what they want, hold to their convictions (right or left), pay attention to the issues and are not so easily swayed by catchy slogans, gimmicks, media misinformation or hollywood endorsements; who vote for candidates who mean what they say even after the election is won because if they don't, they get thrown out the next election. No term limits needed, just an electorate that pays attention.....

Otherwise, I'm sure that whatever you're thinkin is absolutely correct...
