Donald Trump consults with Rudy Giuliani as he builds political kitchen cabinet
Washington Post ^

Posted on 02/21/2016 8:15:44 PM PST by springwater13

Fresh off back-to-back victories in the Republican presidential race, Donald Trump is moving to expand his tight-knit campaign by building a political kitchen cabinet that includes former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.

Giuliani, who has not made an endorsement in the 2016 contest, said in an interview Sunday that he has conferred at length with Trump at least three times in the past month, both in person and by phone, and has counseled the real estate mogul "as a close personal friend" about campaign issues.

"We've been talking. Donald and me, Donald and a few other friends who know politics. He calls to check things out or I'll call him to say, 'Donald, you're going too far' or 'What you said was great' or maybe 'Change it a bit.' It’s nothing formal. It's kind of a running conversation," Giuliani said. "There is candor and there is trust."

Rudy is not the most conservative guy, but he’s not bad when it comes to crime. He did take down the mob, and by extension, their unions.

Hooray.

A pro-abortion fascist. There was a time when that whore got humiliated by the GOP voters.

But conservatism still existed as a political force back then ...

Rud: had a hard time understanding “reasonable suspicion” and other constitutional niceties. No thank you.

I concur, he’d make an excellent AG. That is right up his alley. He’d be a ball-buster for sure.

I thought the whole point of this Trump phenomenon was to do away with liberal GOPe candidates, of which surely Rudy would qualify.

that’s the problem with RINO candidates and their operatives... you can always find 2 or 3 issues that they are pretty good on. just don’t seek out the other 17 or 18 where they are no different than the democRATS on.

yeah, he does, I can’t argue with that.

It’s hard for me to say anything against the guy, I like him and respect him.

We probably don’t agree on many things politically, but he’s a good man.

Two Easterners? I do not think so. Pick someone from south/mid-west/West.

Interesting. Rudy is a very astute guy. I’m sure he gives good advice.
