Actually, earlier in this thread someone else tried to say the same thing - that Rudy was referring to running on the democratic line for mayor in NY. Not being a New Yorker, I did not know that - but later in the thread -
Post #118 by Alberta's Child cleared this up better. She said:
An ambitious Democrat who wants to be mayor of New York City is best served by running as a Republican -- just like Michael Bloomberg did in 2001. And I'm getting more convinced by the day that this is exactly what Rudy Giuliani did back then -- which is one more reason why he should never be trusted as the GOP nominee.
So, yes, I think you are correct about Rudy's meaning when he said that on the video - but I think Alberta's Child's explanation is right on the money. I always wondered how a Republican like Guiliani or Bloomberg could become Mayor of a liberal bastion like NY city - now I know. They are really just democraticks in disguise.
Anyway, like I said earlier - it's the other remarks Rudy makes on the video which are far more disturbing.
Actually, I was just going by the video.
"Rudy said this, that means he really is a Democrat. He's sunk." were the comments made by posters.
I just gave some context, which totally disproves those kinds of comments. Now, if you want to move the goalposts and speculate on WHY he ran as a Republican, that's a whole different subject...
Have any sourcing on this video yet? Dates or anything? Not that I doubt a lot of his points are his, but the first one I checked was bogus.
