I watched a movie "Rudy" after 9-11 and it showed him as being pro-life until he wanted to be mayor of NYC, was told his pro-life stance would cost him the election. Don't most switch their views depending on what office they are seeking?
I am afraid the country is going to swing Dem next time unless things turn around in a big way. I'll take Rudy over any Dem. As far as the war on terror, he could do the job and I still think that is the most important issue.
"I am afraid the country is going to swing Dem next time unless things turn around in a big way. I'll take Rudy over any Dem."
Beyond my personal aversion to Rudy, I'm also not convinced that he's the most electable candidate.
With Rudy as the nominee, I think the GOP has a problem in the southern states. For example, in Mississippi, 37% of the population is African-American. If Hillary holds the African-American vote (and she will, no doubt) and picks up a few white liberals, she will have 40% of the vote and Rudy and a third-party pro-life conservative will be splitting 60% (the moderate/conservative white vote.)
I just don't see how Rudy is going to avoid a strong conservative third-party challenger. And, in that scenario, the outcome is very uncertain.
