Rudy's own words and actions condemn him. He sued a gun-maker, he is a public and scandalous adulterer, he is a crossdresser, he support ALL abortions. He is NO conservatives, he IS a liberal NY lawyer.
Reagan's own actions would have condemned him too.
Divorced. Got a woman pregnant. Signed abortion legislation that was the most liberal in the nation at the time, amnesty, tax hikes, ran from Lebanon, 2 lousy, liberal SC appointments, etc.
Two can play that game.
