Of course, the R.
Let's now see what happens if we nominate a social liberal who's okay with abortion, gay unions and gay rights is a gun grabber and is weak on illegal immigration. Who do you vote for in the general?
If the R is politically conservative -- smaller govt, strong on defense, etc -- I vote for the R.
To me, those are the 'key' issues. With the exception of guns -- and I see no evidence Rudy is a gun-grabber, his policies made sense in the high-crime NYC -- the rest of those issues are all distractions from the real job of Prez.
You miss the point. Is JimRob a democratic plant because he's using strong emotive language to portray the RINO candidates?
