Honestly, I think Rudy will be a disappointment to those who think he’d be better than a dem. I wouldn’t doubt that he’s trying to come off as conservative as he can to win the Republican nomination. I shudder to think what he’ll do if there’s no more motivation for him to do that. He may just abandon all pretense of conservatism.
“He may just abandon all pretense of conservatism.”
That is why I say that “his strengths are the threat”, we saw how he dealt with the New York city Dems and liberals, and everyone living under his Mayoralty.
We admired most of it very much, but I think that all of us at times were a little shocked by his lack of restraint, and there were even times that some of us had to look away, because he really has no personal limits when he wants to impose his will on his area of control.
I have come to think that as President, his target of Constitutional abuses will focus more on national freedoms that he thinks are obstacles to the peace and order that he envisions.
I also believe that Socon issues are not even on his radar, and that he has the basic liberal view that those Socons are just a trouble making, small group that needs to be put side once and for all from National politics.
