Just curious ... based on what traditional conservative principles do you base your support of the Mayor?


Strong leadership, less government, lower taxes, tough on crime and terrorism, bold defense of America, strict interpretation of the constitution and a willingness to appoint judges of similar temprement.

None of the other electable GOP candidates offer as much.

Corrupt leadership.
Questionable record on crime.
No history of preventing a single terrorist act or of facing decisions that actually affect national security.
I agree with his position on constructionist judges.
I think he talks a good game on taxes but he was a MAYOR - call his record incomplete at best on that issue.

On most social issues he fails to make the grade as a moderate, much less as a conservative.

Electability is the game the MSM wants you to play. This is the GOP - decide for yourself who is best fit to serve the country - not based on what you think other people will do. This is a battle of ideas - the contest for power to implement those ideas is almost a year away. Sad that you seem to have abdicated priniples to what CNN tells you about who can actually win.

How do you square “less government” and “strict interpretation of the constitution” with his history on gun control? How do you square “tough on crime” with NYC being a sanctuary city under his tenure?
