Look, I survived April 2007 so I won't go too far - but RG's governance 1993-2001 NYC was transformative, he punched the leftist media in the mouth every day and never gave them an inch, he said exactly what he was going to do and then he did it.

No comparison with McCain, IMO.

Lots of fine governors out there who would make poor presidents.

In Michigan, Rick Snyder has far surpassed my expectations but I would have a hard time supporting him for president. He’s pure business but refuses to talk about social issues. He also has a green streak a mile wide. He also took high speed rail money which is why I write to him once a week asking him to tell Obama “No thank you”.
