It boils down to this, "socons" want to dictate the stance of the nominee on a single issue (abortion). If they don't get thier way, many will stay home rather thn support the ONLY party that has tried to do anything substantive to end abortion. Once the nominating process ends, assuming he wins, Rudy will be the lead candidate for the party. You support the team you play for. Either that or you find anew team.
Rudy isn't driving that process, the majority isn't driving that process. The single issue "socons" are. I've yet to read one post from a Giuliani supporter saying they will stay home if Hunter gets nominated. I've yet to converse with a single Hunter supporter who states he or she will vote for Rudy if he's nominated.
It aint Rudy that's threatening to split the party, it's the "socons"
I went to all that trouble to come up with a good analogy and you didn't even try it on. If Rudy supporters won't engage in debate, what are y'all doing here, pullin' our pickles?
"I've yet to read one post from a Giuliani supporter saying they will stay home if Hunter gets nominated. I've yet to converse with a single Hunter supporter who states he or she will vote for Rudy if he's nominated. "
***Using your own words, then, which candidate is more dangerous for the republican party? The one who doesn't generate division or the one who does? Your own words show that there is support for Hunter from the middle ranks, but no support for Rudy from the socon base. "You support the team you play for." The socon wing expects your support for the most socially conservative candidate. If you can't do that for your team, then maybe you have betrayed your team.
