I don’t want Rudy or any other GOP candidate to walk through
the nomination process.

Our candidate (whoever it is) has to be tested and battle hardened.

If Rudy is the ultimate GOP nominee - he will have to find a way to earn
the respect and the vote of those who don’t like him now.

That’s a fact.

Therefore - we should all want a nice hard - tight battle.

We want to hear all the issues put to debate.

We want a clear winner - not a run away front runner.

I don’t fear competition - I welcome it completely.

I would love the GOP candidate to walk through the nomination process. I don't care if it's a front runner or not.

All I want is a clear conservative winner. That way we can direct our energies and resources to fighting leftists in the other party instead of our own.

Exactly. If the GOP candidate can’t show a strong backbone by primary time, how will he ever take on the Dims ?
