Rudy will win even without the WHINOs.

Good luck to him getting the nomination withOUT the conservative base. It won't happen.

And even if it did--good luck again getting elected without the enthusiastic support of the conservative base (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO TURNOUT--which WILL make the difference).

If the Republicans want to win--they best find someone that excites the conservative base. Otherwise, it will be another disaster like the '96 election was--where Dole created no excitement or enthusiasm at all.

I think he will too. He will appeal to a lot of crossover voters ... and lots of people will not vote for Hillary.
