I've read through the specs repeatedly. Giuliani hits about a 60% match. He is not, perhaps 80% ally. Neither is he 80% enemy.

Explain why Rudy's anti-gun lawsuit and his sanctuary-city actions should not be considered disqualifiers?

Two reasons:

1) No single position should be a "disqualifier". If politics is reduced to single issues, all you're guaranteeing is a long, slow disappointment.

2) How long do you think Giuliani would've survived in NYC politics if he mirrored your positions on every issue? He'd be muttering to himself with an old copy of "Soldier of Fortune" in a Bronx loft by now. That's not a knock on you. It's a knock on NYC politics, but if you disqualify Giuliani because of it, you're essentially ruling out ALL experienced executives from ALL urban areas as leaders. That is NOT a prescription for success.
