Sometime early this summer, Rudy decided to bet on Trump. It hadn’t been a smooth ride. Rudy has been close to the Bush family for years, and especially fond of Jeb. He is also friendly with Chris Christie, whose rise to executive after earning headlines as a zealous prosecutor was frequently compared to Rudy’s own career arc. Even by the time of the New York primary, when it seemed clear that Trump was going to cinch the nomination, Rudy issued a weird non-endorsement, saying he intended to vote for Trump personally but wasn’t quite ready to endorse him.

But that’s the thing about Rudy. Just as when he’s mad at you, you know he’s mad, when Rudy decides to support you, you get the full effort of a guy whose energy, political instincts, and skill as an attack dog remain bitingly sharp.

The debut of Rudy in that role came at the RNC, where he gave the keynote on the first night. A wardrobe malfunction almost made me late so I drove 80 mph the whole way to Cleveland so as not to miss it. Some critics considered Rudy’s fiery speech – basically an indictment of Hillary for what he called the “Obama-Clinton” years—to be too red-blooded. CNN helpfully noted that Rudy pointed down when he said the word “top.”

I hope the US recognizes someday that Rudy essentially destroyed the Mafia/Cosa Nostra in America. Thank you, Rudy!

Rudy went on TV day after day and took a lot of hits for DJTrump. He also struck a lot of blows for DJTrump

“Rudy has been close to the Bush family for years, and especially fond of Jeb. He is also friendly with Chris Christie, “

Even Rudy has been waiting for a leader.

Does anybody remember when you could get booted off of FR for saying something good about Rudy?

Rudy connects with people in a way that Hillary’s advisors and her supporters in the media couldn’t comprehend. When he went after her for failing the bar exam, it wasn’t an attack on a test 41 years ago, it was an attack on a narrative of immaculate competency that the media had created.

Devastating wordsmithing there. (bold type mine)

Thanks for posting this article, genuinely way more interesting than I expected it to be.

The insight about "manly" alone was worth the price of the paper!
