There’s no doubt that Trump could use a secretary of Homeland Security who can at least tell a skyscraper from a Slurpee machine. A couple of weeks ago, while campaigning in Buffalo, the bloviating billionaire recalled watching rescue workers...

Rudy Giuliani: My thought is that Trump is the nominee. I supported him before. I support him now. I fully endorse him 100% and I urge other Republicans to get behind him. We may have preferred somebody else but he is going to be the candidate. And now we have to do the best we can to make sure we defeat Hillary Clinton. The fact that Cruz and Kasich had to get together in this backroom deal, is devastating. The American people on both the Republican side and Democratic side are telling us something. They’re telling us they don’t like...

... His history with the gay community is a long one. He donated to charities focused on the AIDS crisis in the late 1980s and early ’90s. In 2000, when he briefly considered running for president, he gave an interview to The Advocate, a gay magazine, in which he supported amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to “include a ban of discrimination based on sexual orientation.” “It would be simple. It would be straightforward,” Mr. Trump said in the interview, adding, “It’s only fair.” Sixteen years later, gay rights advocates are still trying to persuade Congress to pass a similar...

There's no playbook for Democrats when it comes to the real estate mogul who grew up in the hothouse of the Big Apple's tabloid media. Yet, as Clinton and Trump veer closer to their party's 2016 presidential nominations, the former U.S. senator from New York is getting some advice from her inner circle. They're citing Clinton's brief Senate match-up against Rudy Giuliani, the Brooklyn-born former New York City mayor who spent several months testing the waters against Clinton in early 2000. "That is the perfect race for this," said Neera Tanden, who was Clinton's deputy campaign manager at the time....

In an effort to attack Hillary Clinton on foreign policy tonight, Rudy Giuliani told Bill O’Reilly that “Hillary Clinton could be considered a founding member of ISIS.” He said that Clinton hasn’t shown leadership in the war on terror, saying she had her chance when she was Secretary of State, when she was “part of an administration that withdrew from Iraq.” O’Reilly pointed out Clinton couldn’t have forced President Obama to do anything short of resigning. Giuliani added, “Which is what a patriot does.” A little later, O’Reilly took a guess Giuliani’s getting ready to endorse Donald Trump. Giuliani didn’t...

The real Trump is not like that,” Giuliani said...

Explaining his case for supporting Trump over Cruz, he said that he likes the tycoon’s “private sector experience,” and his projecting strength on foreign policy In defending his preference of Donald Trump over Ted Cruz as the US Republican Nominee for president despite heavy criticism of the tycoon from the Republican establishment, former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani told The Jerusalem Post that “he is a man prone to exaggerate the way that he speaks, which is not necessarily the way he acts.” Giuliani made the statements in a sit down interview with the Post during his current visit to...

Giuliani also gives Trump kudos on his understanding of complex policy issues, declaring, "You know, he is very good. It's clear that he has an exceptionally good understanding of how the economy affects our foreign policy," Giuliani tells the newspaper. "He understands what's happening with China, how they could stop North Korea in a heartbeat. This idea that he's only familiar with slogans, its not accurate at all." Trump's growing network reminds Giuliani of one former President Ronald Reagan created in 1980, the Post reports. "I think he could over perform in a general election similar to what Reagan did...
