"Please address what happens to Israel if a Democratic administration abandons them"
Israel has nukes. Israel would no longer have the US to supply it directly with arms and support, but they would also be free of the US leash that keeps them restrained.
But who says Hillary would cut isreal lose? Did Bill?
"Please note that I did say that under Rudy the conservative agenda might not move forward at all."
And it most likely would move backwards.
When you have congress controlled by one party and the presidency controlled by another, you usually get opposition. When you have them both controlled by the same party, you usually get complicity.
Let's see what happens:
1. Democrat congress and Rudy:
- Democrats pass anti-gun and other liberal laws. Rudy, agreeing with them, signs those bills. Liberal agenda advances.
2. Democrat congress and rudy:
Pretty much the same as above. Liberal agenda advances.
3. Republican congress and rudy:
In the name of "party unity" republicans support giuliani. The biggest threat is the RINOs in congress joining with democrats to pass a liberal agenda in the name of "getting things done". Rudy signs those bills. Liberal agenda advances.
4. Republican congress and democrat president:
As in 1994, republicans would be there to act as a buffer to the liberalism. There would be opposition instead of complicity - as long as they kept from 'going native' and losing their way.
Now the preferable way would be a conservative republican president and a republican congress. But that won't happen if people play the fear card and say "if you don't support rudy, hillary will win!"
Even Democrat President, Democrat Congress (I think that's what you meant for #2) would be less of a disaster than some here surmise. The anti-gun legislation that passed in 1993-1994 was if anything less bad that what passed in 1995-1996.
