Rudy even leads with Southern Repubs.

The cultural far right 2 issue voters ......(abortion ..gay marriage]..will never accept Rudy even if Roe V Wade is overturned.
But with the disaster with the budget ..the disaster on the border and the generally perilous times we live I don't think these 2 issues are going to have much traction....to the gnashing of teeth to some here.
As far as hillary the rupubs will win unless they run another big spending Southern Good Ol boy...after 16 years the country wants a change
My prediction is that the Far Right will do all it can to split the Party if Guiliani is nominated. And my belief is that it is encouraged surreptitiously by the Far Left. A good example of how the latter can lead the former into mindlessly running over the cliff is the Ports' deal.
That was a tremendous disaster for the party which has shown itself to be in the grip of the Far Right which does not have a clue about the way the world works.
