I desperately don't want us Hunter supporters alienating supporters of our loyal opposition.

I agree with that, but this argument goes both ways you know.

I really doubt if we can ever win the hardcore moderates who support Rudy.

Politics is a full contact sport.

Indeed it is. That is why we need to be very careful maintaining our coalitions, and not burning bridges where we can avoid it.

Based on my experiences here in NJ, if faced with a real conservative as the GOP nominee, many of the same "moderate" Republicans who love Giuliani will happily endorse Hillary. We'll have to make them up in yellow-dog and union Democrats. Fortunately, Hunter has some appeal to those groups.
