"There are stronger Republican candidates. Guliani is one."
The problem with Giuliani is that he's a pro-choice, anti-gun social "moderate." There will be a third party conservative on the ballot if Giuliani runs, mark my words. Mark and Denise Rich will provide the financing, if necessary. And then Hillary can win with the 43-45% of the vote she is garnering in these polls. Just like her hubby, who won with 43% in 1992.
We need to nominate a pro-life, pro-2nd-amendment, anti-illegal-amnesty conservative. She will divide and conquer this party, otherwise.
You are correct. I've felt all along that Hillary will find a way to fund a 3rd party conservative candidate. It's the only way to get a Clinton elected.
True. Since the Republican party became a national party in 1856, there have been only TWO (2) (II.) Democrat Presidents who received a greater percentage of the popular vote than President Bush: FDR and LBJ. Even JFK couldn't break the magic 50% popular vote barrier. Generally speaking, Democrats just do not win national elections unless there is a conservative or moderate third party candidate running.
Your point about a right-wing spoiler candidate is well-taken. Such a person would almost certainly run against Rudy. Just because I'd support Rudy doesn't mean that enough of our fellow patriots would.
