Just to put it in comparison, here is Rudy's policy chart.
..and Bill Clinton's chart
From ontheissues.org He is way closer to Bill Clinton than he is someone we all agree is a RINO. Heck, on a straight right/left paradigm, he is almost identical to Bill Clinton.
Good charts. Interesting that Rudy is where he is on that scale, especially in relation to Trump. I always hated seeing him lumped in with Romney and McCain. He is conservative as heck on many issues, and very strong on those issues in terms of ability to execute and communicate the issues. There are others where he is quite poor.
Trump could be in several places on the left to right axis, depending on what his true views are. He is all over the board on issues like taxes on the rich, health care, and several others. I don’t trust him yet to be a constitutional leader, which is critical for our next candidate.
I actually like a similar chart where populist is replaced with authoritarian, and on that chart, I like to find people closer to libertarian than authoritarian. I suspect both Rudy and Trump would trend towards authoritarian on that chart, as it seems like the NE Republican view is much more government driven than the rest of the country.
Hey mnering:
We get it, you keep posting that same old graph on every Trump thread. This is almost the 10th time you’ve posted this same content.
If we cared about ontheissues.org, or how Rudy or Clinton map out on the issues we’d be on ontheissues.org website.
Yeah, the republicans said the same thing about Ronald Reagan as they say about Trump.
“he a union supporter! he was the president of a union” the republicans cried
“He was a democrat (literally)” they complained.
Looking back, everything that I hated about Clinton could have been solved with a love of American exceptionalism, and personal morals. Both of those things Trump has no problem with. Although he has been married more than once, he did marry his “dalliances”. He fits into my view of a good candidate.
