Rudy really didn't have a choice. Skipping CPAC would've been the nail in his political coffin.

Attendees should politely listen to him speak, and ask him the tough questions later. When the smoke clears, I think Rudy will remain pro-abortion, pro-gun control, and won't address real fiscal matters such as entitlement programs and out-of-control government spending.

Oh really? And now you are the expert on Rudy? You are a Hunter person and never were a Rudy person.

I agree with you that he had to do this. However, after they politely listen, he should be asked some tough questions.

Rudy really didn't have a choice. Skipping CPAC would've been the nail in his political coffin.

There's no reason - either personally or politically - that he would have wanted to skip CPAC. Look at the list of speakers and attendees; he's friends with many, and spent years in NYC adopting the fiscal policies of many of the conference's sponsors.
