No other candidates were the mayor of NYC on 9/11.
So we should have had the Mayor of Pearl Harbor as President in WWII? Forgive my bluntness, but your argument is juvenile and nonsensical.
Rudy's mismanagement of the Emergency Ops Center and his negligence in placing the diesel fuel for same in 7 WTC makes me support him even less than his overt liberalism. His is incompetent.
He was gone before the cleanup was even done. And he made millions for years afterwards talking about it.
Hillary was Senator of New York state, and was there lopng after Rudy left.
So what?
