Rudy will fall apart in the South on abortion and gun control. I, for one, catagorically refuse to vote for anyone who has or will take away people's guns (other than convicted felons, terrorists, etc.)...at least in the primary. I suppose if it was a choice between Rudy and She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Mentioned, Rudy'll get my extremely reluctant vote. But you can be damned sure that I'll do everything I can to make sure that we don't have such a horrible choice.
IMHO, Rudy would be a good Homeland Security head, possibly a good Secretary of State (although he has about zero experience there, sometimes the experience brings a handicap with it), but that's about all.
Texas toast.Only good as a side dish.
South really doesn't know what hack politician Rudy is really about ------YET
"Rudy will fall apart in the South on abortion and gun control."
Maybe on immigration too. Three strikes you are out.
