“He merely put a sociologist’s theory to practice and got lucky it worked as it did.”
There is no “merely” for a guy like Guliani implementing such policies in violently liberal NY.
There is a lot I don’t like about him but he’s probably the toughest SOB running to date.
Guiliani and NYC are perfect for each other. The city needed his authoritarian, F-you style of leadership.
Problem is, most of America isn't New York. My city's mayor sure in the hell wouldn't participate in a gay pride parade if we had one; nor would he dare try to "crack down" on gun owners in the ruse of fighting crime.
So let Rudy run for Mayor of Philly or L.A. and clean up those cities and leave the Presidency alone.
