If Arnold Schwarzenegger weren’t constitutionally barred from entering the race, he’d be the next president of the United States.

“Absolutely,” Schwarzenegger insisted. “Put me in because it’s, look — it’s a no brainer. I see so clearly how I could win that that election.”
Schwarzenegger pointed to his successful run for governor of California, where he served two terms.
“I mean, it’s like me and California, when I was running for governor,” he explained.
