It’s funny I don’t like attacking him, but when people keep trying to persuade us to get behind him in the primaries we have to point out his problems and when you examine his missteps during his time as a big city Mayor, they seemed to result from flaws in his character.
When I was trying to warm up to Rudy, a nagging truth kept hitting me, in 1991 we political junkies knew Clinton’s character, I told his supporters that we can’t know what challenges he will face if he wins, but we do know his character and that means that his Presidency will be destructive.
Rudy was a hard nosed New York lawyer, and a hard nosed New York Mayor with no scruples, but to make him the face of America to represent our national character and identity is a body blow that this nation should not have to absorb.
We all know by now that who the President is as a man, has a large effect on our culture.
All excellent points. What’s tricky is the extremely wide-swath of non-political junkies. It’s so easy to fall fictim to “the establishment cannot be broken”. History has prove this in countless scenarios.
He knew and still does know that as a tsunami of character and non-conservative reality check gets to the “non political news junkies”, then he’s toast. And the tragic, albeit great effectiveness of a tsunami is the lack of good early warning and when it’s high-tide IMO.
The media mulch machines and tree chippers run in cycles. I personally don’t want to see a third party option at all. And I also don’t want to see viable conservative candidates get pre-mulched before the MSM even gets to handle them. Their campaign Managers know where to keep the length of the leash (figuratively), so I don’t see any pre-mature self-sacrifices. JR was absolutely right to come out now and come out swinging to saying NO to Rudy. There’s a lot of dynamics here of course. And I’m glad to be learning and be part of it, in whatever way I can.
