That is how we got eight years of Bill Clinton, and it is a sure way to give us four to eight of Hillary.

This is most likely true and it is the most likely outcome of nominating Rudy. (IMO)

I think McKook is the only potential third party candidate who could take enough votes away from Rudy to give Hillary the election.

I don't expect it to be a third party. I expect a lot of people will stay home so they don't have to offend their dignity by choosing one of those two.
